Just last month Kylie Kelce, the wife of future Pro Football Hall of Fame offensive lineman Jason Kelce, admitted she was struggling to come up with a name for their fourth daughter. With Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2, already in tow, the Kelce's had a debate on their hands. “You've already used them all up. [So] all bets are off,” she said. "I feel like we have to lean a little bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names for our fourth because we have Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett. So if we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they'll be like, ‘Why did they get a cute girly name?’" Kelce went on to say that she considered the name Andie from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is one of my favorite movies of all time, but absolutely my favorite rom-com," Kylie said. "We've even considered Andie as a name for our fourth girl. Our first is Wyatt, our second is Elliotte, our third is Bennett and we were like, 'Andie would fit in there and it would be so cool.'" She eventually settled on something a bit different. "Whoop, there she is! Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce. 3/30/25," she announced on Instagram on April 1. View the original article to see embedded media. The post racked up over 50,000 likes and nearly 10,000 comments in less than an hour. Among those who sent well wishes to the Kelce family was veteran sideline reporter Erin Andrews. "Congrats guys," she said in a comment on the pot. Related: Historic Taylor Swift Announcement Turns Heads Медиа: | ↑ |
Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, just welcomed their fourth daughter into the family. On April 1, Kylie took to social media with a post that couldn't be confused as an April Fools' Day joke - revealing the couple's fourth daughter was born on March 30. Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2, added another baby sister to their growing family, which was putting some pressure on the parents to come up with a good name. Kylie previously opened up about the difficulties of picking a name for their daughter on Not Gonna Lie on Jan. 9, admitting they'll likely choose a gender-neutral name to stay with the theme they've created. “You've already used them all up. [So] all bets are off,” she said. "I feel like we have to lean a little bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names for our fourth because we have Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett. So if we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they'll be like, ‘Why did they get a cute girly name?’" So what name did they choose? Finnley. "Whoop, there she is! Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce 3/30/25," Kelce said in the caption of the post on Instagram. View the original article to see embedded media. Kelce admitted to actress Kate Hudson that they considered the name Andie, inspired by Hudson's character Andie Anderson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is one of my favorite movies of all time, but absolutely my favorite rom-com," Kylie said. "We've even considered Andie as a name for our fourth girl. Our first is Wyatt, our second is Elliotte, our third is Bennett and we were like, 'Andie would fit in there and it would be so cool.'" In the end, Finnley won.

The Las Vegas Raiders hired John Spytek as the team’s new general manager ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Following a 4-13 season, Spytek and new head coach Pete Carroll have plenty of work to do. For Spytek, the 2025 NFL draft may have just gotten a bit tougher to navigate as well. The Raiders hold the No. 6 pick in the draft, and after acquiring former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith this offseason, it opens the door for multiple different possible outcomes. This includes a not-so-unrealistic world where Boise State star running back Ashton Jeanty is in the mix. Based on Spytek's recent comments on SiriusXM NFL Radio, the pressure will be on if Jeanty is still available at No. 6 — specifically from his son. As the general manager explained, his son issued an ultimatum, warning Spytek that he'll "walk out of the family" if the Raiders don't take Jeanty.
According to Spytek, his son also "basically told Mark Davis if my dad doesn't take him, he's doing a bad job." Talk about added pressure for the 44-year-old, who's been with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2016. The Raiders make sense as a potential fit for Jeanty, considering their leading rusher last season was Alexander Mattison with 420 yards on 132 attempts (3.2 yards per attempt). Медиа: | ↑ |
Ever since they started dating publicly in September 2023, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and billionaire musician Taylor Swift have been inseparable. Kelce was spotted at a number of Swift's Eras Tour concerts all over the world in 2023 and 2024 - including shows in London and Singapore. Meanwhile, Swift has been a mainstay at Chiefs home games and the team's many playoff games over the past two seasons, including two trips to the Super Bowl. Following the close of the 2024 NFL season and the end of Swift's Eras Tour the couple escaped the spotlight while vacation in Montana, according to a new report from Us Weekly. The couple has decided to live a more private life after being spotted on almost every date night for the better part of 18 months.  David Eulitt/Getty Images A source told Us Weekly that Swift and Kelce wanted to live a more “normal life” after the "hoopla" of the Eras Tour and the Super Bowl. The outlet cited a second source that said the couple “needed time for themselves,” adding, “Taylor and Travis are doing great, and they’re still very much together and in love. They’re just taking a break from the public eye.” A third source revealed the future Hall of Fame tight end wanted to take a breather from the public eye following his career-worst yardage total in 2024. “Travis wants to take [a breather] from the public eye,” said the third source. “He was working too much last year, and he didn’t play as well as he wanted. He wants to have a good season and not have the focus be on his relationship with Taylor.” Kelce still hosts and produces his podcast New Heights with older brother and former Philadelphia Eagles star offensive lineman Jason Kelce once a week. The brothers announced ESPN host Scott Van Pelt as the guest for this week's show before he helps cover the Masters next week. Related: Historic Taylor Swift Announcement Turns Heads Медиа: | ↑ |
Cory Booker's highest-profile relationship was with ex-girlfriend Rosario Dawson. But the U.S. senator from New Jersey, who has never had a wife, and Dawson ended their relationship in February 2022, People reported. The magazine reported that the couple, who dated for two years, remained friends but had broken up. However, neither of them commented to the magazine. Booker keeps his personal life off his Instagram page. According to Daily Mail, in 2024, Dawson was spotted "enjoying a PDA-filled getaway" with Adama Sanneh. By October 2022, she was dating Nnamdi Okafo after meeting him in a bar, People reported. However, People noted that people as prominent as Booker and Dawson "must be able to juggle two busy schedules and frequent time apart." In 2020, they had moved in together, People noted, but Booker was hitting the campaign trail to run for president.  He told People that the pandemic brought them closer. "We've been working on cooking together a lot more," he said. In 2019, the pair spoke so lovingly about each other that there was speculation Dawson could someday end up Booker's wife. "I am just grateful to be with someone that I respect and love and admire so much," she told TMZ, which reported that she "didn't want to say" whether a marriage was forthcoming. Of moving in together, Dawson told Bustle, "It's the first time I felt like I had to be responsible about my choice of love, which is a challenging thing to do. If you fall in love, you fall in love. But there's another aspect I had to consider: what this meant in [putting] a microscope on my family and particularly on my daughter." The Washington Post reported in 2019 that the pair met at a political fundraiser and then reconnected. "I mean, gosh, that night we talked for hours and hours," Booker told The Post. "I had trouble asking for her phone number ... I think I said something really stupid like, 'Uh, how would I get in touch with you?' And she mercifully said something like, 'Oh, you want my phone number?' And my insides were like, 'Hell, yeah!' Медиа: | ↑ |

The Dallas Cowboys are one offseason removed from two strange contract negotiations with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott. While Jerry Jones and company completed those deals before the season, the longtime owner began contract negotiations earlier with defensive star Micah Parsons. The only problem? The confusion around early talks with Parsons has been even more baffling than anything fans saw involving Lamb or Prescott. Jones has taken a laid-back approach (at least publicly) to recent high-dollar contract negotiations. However, his optimism around Parsons' potential deal may come with an asterisk after the longtime owner revealed one key tidbit. While Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram revealed that Jones said he and Parsons have agreed on multiple parts of a deal, he also explained that the agent of the star pass-rusher, David Mulugheta, hasn't even been involved.
To further complicate matters, Yahoo Sports senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein revealed shortly after that Parsons asked both Jones and his son, executive vice president Stephen Jones, to call his agent to negotiate. However, according to Epstein, neither Jerry nor Stephen have contacted Mulugheta thus far. If that didn't make the situation quite head-scratching enough, Parsons himself responded to a post by longtime Cowboys reporter Clarence Hill, who called out Jones for the "blatant disrespect" shown to Parsons and Mulugheta. Parsons strongly agreed with the comments while firmly stating negotiations would happen with his agent.
While Jones may feel as though things are going swimmingly with Parsons on the contract negotiations front, it quickly became apparent that the 25-year-old doesn't feel the same way. Based on Parsons' reaction, Jones would be wise to pick up the phone and negotiate with his agent sooner rather than later to attempt to right the ship.

WNBA star Angel Reese hasn't had much luck over the past week. Late last month she watched as her brother's Maryland Terrapins fell to the Florida Gators in the men's NCAA Tournament. Just a few days later, her former team, the LSU Tigers, fell to the UCLA Bruins in the women's NCAA Tournament, leaving her without a team to root for as both reach the Final Four. With no team to cheer for, Reese is taking to a different game - well, kind of. On April 1 she attended the McDonald's All-American Game to cheer on the future of the college basketball elite. Sitting courtside, the Chicago Sky star turned heads with a fur coat while showing off her new hairdo. "Angel Reese came FITTED," the SportsCenter NEXT account said on X - formerly known as Twitter.
The post racked up a number of comments from fans. "Been a baddie," one person said. "You better show out," offered another. "Angels face card never declines," said a third. Reese didn't waste much time finding success at the WNBA level after being selected by the Sky in the 2024 WNBA draft. While competing with Caitlin Clark for Rookie of the Year, Reese saw her season derailed by a wrist injury that required surgery. In a social media post in September, Reese explained that doctors placed a very small screw in her wrist to prevent the bone from cracking completely. "Long term, I literally could have not played anymore because this is a very hard place to heal because the blood flow is little to none," she said while noting the surgery was successful.

Cory Booker, the New Jersey senator who was undergoing a marathon filibuster, does not have a wife. Although he has never married, Booker has had a high-profile dating life, with a prominent celebrity as a girlfriend. In 2022, People reported that Booker and actress Rosario Dawson had split. They had dated for two years. They remained good friends, the magazine noted. Booker discussed the relationship to The Washington Post. "I mean, gosh, that night we talked for hours and hours," Booker told The Post in 2019. "I had trouble asking for her phone number ... I think I said something really stupid like, 'Uh, how would I get in touch with you?' And she mercifully said something like, 'Oh, you want my phone number?' And my insides were like, 'Hell, yeah!'" Dawson told The Post that Booker was "so charming."  In 2016, Booker dated Instagram influencer and poet Cleo Wade, according to Page Six. Wade was previously a stylist for pop star Katy Perry and was linked to actor Robert Pattinson, Page Six reported. In 2019, when he was dating Dawson, Booker publicly stated that he had a "boo," referring to a girlfriend, according to CNN. When he ran for president, Booker was the only bachelor in the race, CNN reported. He told The Post that year that his romantic life was "evolving."
In 2019, he said that Dawson taught him a lot "about love," Ebony reported. "She is just a deeply soulful person and has taught me a lot of lessons about love already," he said to the publication. "Sometimes you show the greatest strength when you make yourself vulnerable," Booker added. "She really has this nurturing spirit that’s made me more courageous, not just in the love I project and want to see in our country, but I think in our own personal relationships to love more fearlessly. I’m very, very blessed to be with somebody who makes me a better person.” Медиа: | ↑ |

U.S. Senator Cory Booker's filibuster is already in the record books. As of 7 p.m. on April 1, 2025, on the East Coast, the senator had spoken for more than 24 hours straight. A live stream video on YouTube shows that Booker was still speaking as of that point. According to The Associated Press, at the 23-hour mark, Booker's filibuster was already the second longest in U.S. history and he was still going. Then-Sen. Strom Thurmond set the record for the longest filibuster in 1957 with a 24-hour, 18-minute speech, according to NPR. "These are not normal times in our nation,” Booker said at the beginning of his lengthy speech, according to The AP. “And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate. How was he able to speak for so long? According to the AP, some colleagues asked him questions so that he could stop speaking at times.  However, Booker "has not sat down, or even wandered far from his desk on the Senate floor," USA Today reported. What about bathroom breaks or dinner? Nope. According to USA Today, the New Jersey senator "started speaking at 7 p.m. on Monday night," and he was still going at that time the next evening. Booker "has not eaten," USA Today reported, noting that Booker "has periodically sipped from two glasses of water." "And he has not left the chamber to go to the bathroom," according to USA Today. How long will Booker speak? The senator said he will speak "for as long as I am physically able," NPR reported. Sen. Rand Paul once lasted 13 hours filibustering, but quit when he had to take a bathroom break, NPR reported.

A professional boxer has died suddenly in the 3rd round of a fight.
The Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) "can officially confirm the death of a Nigerian boxer by the name Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju, who passed away at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital," the GBA wrote in a March 30, 2025, statement. A disturbing video, posted to Facebook, shows the moment that the boxer suddenly fell backwards. "The Nigerian Gabriel Oluwsegun Olanrewaju took on his Ghanaian opponent Jon Mbanugu in a light heavyweight international contest over 8 rounds on the Imax Boxing Promotions fights bill for the ongoing Bel 7star energy drink professional boxing league for week 15," the statement says. "Oluwasegun seemed to have dominated the fight from round one but unfortunately met his untimely exit from the ring in round 3 (2 minutes 46 seconds)," the statement continues.
Gabriel Oluwasegun, a few seconds before the third round ended, stepped "back during the fight and leaned on the ropes with his back without any punch whatsoever from his opponent Jon Mbanugu," the GBA wrote. "The referee, Richard Amevi sensing danger, waved his hand for the end of the fight, and immediately invited the ringside physician with the support of paramedics from the national ambulance service to attend to the boxer and help resuscitate him," the statement says. "After applying the first-aid resuscitating process, the boxer was immediately transported to the Korlebu Teaching Hospital, where he was pronounced dead 30 minutes after arrival," it notes. The GBA president, Abraham Kotei Neequaye, "who was close to the scene at the ring side and at the hospital, immediately started the processes of preserving the boxer's body after he was pronounced dead, whilst speaking to the General Secretary of Nigeria Boxing Board of Control (NBBC), Remi Abodorin on the situation," it adds. "The GBA president reported the incident to the Korle Bu police station, and this morning helped to move the body to the main mortuary for preservation." The cause of death was not given. Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju "was declared medically fit by the Nigeria Boxing Board Control (NBBC) with his certified certificate as a professional boxer before the GBA sanctioned and approved the international contest," the statement continues. "He entered the ring with an official record of 23 fights, 8 defeats, 13 victories, and 12 of the victories came by way of knockouts." The Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) is "seriously mourning the demise of a potential world beater who was dictating a beautiful fight and all of a sudden visited the canvas and fell into what has been described as an induced coma even though an official cause of death is yet to be made available after autopsy," the statement continued. It was signed by Mohammed Amin Lamptey, the GBA's director of communication. Медиа: | ↑ |
Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' tight end, chose not to retire after their loss to the Eagles and is now preparing for his 13th NFL season. Speaking to reporters from the NFL owners' meeting, coach Andy Reid said that Kelce is now "training like crazy," via The Athletic. "I just wanted him to put it out there and not me," Reid said. "I always like guys to step back [after the season], but he wants to come back and he's training like crazy, too." Speaking on his New Heights podcast, he shared, "I think the biggest thing is that I f*****g love playing the game of football. I love playing. I still feel like I can play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don't think it was my best outing."  "I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past," he continued. Fortunately, the 35-year-old is finding time to rest when he isn't busy training. In March, People reported that he and his girlfriend Taylor Swift enjoyed a private getaway in Montana. The two were seen dining with a mutual friend, sportscaster Erin Andrews, according to an Insider. Andrews previously gushed to the outlet about Kelce and Swift. "Man, they're great," she said. "I love them so much. I think they are so cute, and I love how they support each other. They're adorable." Related: Channing Tatum Spotted Holding Hands with Stunning 25-Year-Old Медиа: | ↑ |
Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar were part of a presentation at CinemaCon, an annual convention for theater owners and studios, on April 1 and offered a first look at The Housemaid, opening on Christmas Day. During the talk, Sweeney said she was a big fan of Freida McFadden's 2022 novel, The Housemaid, and knew she "had to be" a part of the movie. "I could not put it down," Sweeney continued of the book. "I love when there's so many unexpected twists and turns and characters that have flaws ... but you also love them at the same time. You question your morals." The film, which was directed by Paul Feig, "Follows a struggling woman who is happy to start over as a housemaid for an affluent, elite couple," according to IMDb. Of course, it isn't that easy. The relationship between Millie and the Winchesters becomes tense, and this film promises to be a wild ride for viewers. The struggling woman is Millie, played by Sweeney, and the couple is Nina, portrayed by Seyfried, and Andrew Winchester, played by Sklenar. So, how close is this film to the book? Sklenar, who is also the star of the Yellowstone spinoff 1923, dished that in the film, Andrew is "a very complex character and he’s playing a lot of versions of himself and constantly manipulating those around him. That's a heady headspace to get to." He also said that Andrew is "a bit more of a force than he is in the book." He added, "It's surprising how much it takes it out of you to be this unhinged. But fun." CinemaCon isn't "open to the public, which means no releases of exclusive footage and first-look reveals from the highly anticipated event," noted Discussing Film.

Death, taxes....the concession prices at the Masters. Few things are more consistent - or inevitable - in life than Augusta National making headlines in the lead-up to the year's first major with its impressive concession prices. At a time when attending a game with a family of four seems to cost a small fortune for major sporting events, the Masters takes one of those major costs away. Sure, it still costs potentially thousands to get on the grounds at Augusta National - tickets for the first round are sitting above $2,600 on Ticketmaster - those in attendance can rest easy knowing they won't spend an arm and a leg at the concession stand. With the first round of the Masters sitting just nine days away, the price of a pimento cheese sandwich at Augusta National hit social media and created a firestorm - like it does every year. Sports business reporter Darren Rovell shared the $1.50 price tag for the beloved sandwich, which is the same price it's been for over two decades. "For the 23rd consecutive year, the Pimento Cheese sandwich at the Masters will cost $1.50. The last price change was in 2002 when it went from $1.25 to $1.50. In 1997, it was $1. Factoring for inflation, the sandwich today is 50 cents CHEAPER today," Rovell said in a message on social media.
The Masters kicks off on April 10 with reigning champion Scottie Scheffler the favorite to repeat. Rory McIlroy is a close second, while Ludvig Aberg and Jon Rahm are somewhat distant thirds. Related: Tiger Woods' April Fools' Day Joke Week Before The Masters Is Cruel Медиа: | ↑ |
Following Attorney General Pam Bondi’s announcement that she's directed prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the accused killer’s lawyer has spoken out. In official statement, Mangione’s lawyer Karen Friedman Agnifilo labeled the Attorney General’s move as “barbaric.” “By seeking to murder Luigi Mangione, the Justice Department has moved from the dysfunctional to the barbaric,” said Friedman Agnifilo. Mangione is currently awaiting trial for the suspected killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec 4, 2024 in New York City. Thompson, who was reportedly in New York City for a conference, was shot outside his hotel. “Their decision to execute Luigi is political and goes against the recommendation of the local federal prosecutors, the law, and historical precedent,” Agnifilio said. “While claiming to protect against murder, the federal government moves to commit the pre-meditated, state-sponsored murder of Luigi. By doing this, they are defending the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that continues to terrorize the American people.” After a five-day nationwide manhunt, Mangione was captured and arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, PA, and extradited to New York City. Agnifilio went to declare that Mangione’s team is ready to fight federal charges, labelling his case as an example of dysfunction and corruption at the hands of the government. “We are prepared to fight these federal charges, brought by a lawless Justice Department, as well as the New York State charges, and the Pennsylvania charges, and anything else they want to pile on Luigi,” Agnifilio concluded. Mangione, who has become the subject of constant media coverage, is facing several criminal state counts in New York, including first-degree murder and murder as a crime of terrorism. The 26-year-old has pled not guilty to state charges, and has yet to enter a plea for separate federal charges. He is currently awaiting trial in a New York prison. Медиа: | ↑ |
On April 1, Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis honored their daughter as she became a teenager. Heming Willis shared a video via her Instagram page celebrating her daughter's 13th birthday, and a snippet of Bruce Willis with their daughter as an infant stood out. In the caption of her post, she wrote, "In the blink of an eye, she's thirteen -our bright, beautiful Mabel Ray. I'm grateful for the joy and color she brings to our world." Heming Willis continued, "She moves through life with kindness and heart, and we love her more than words can hold. Happy birthday to our sweet girl!" As soon as the video started, fans could see a glimpse of a youthful, healthy Willis playing with the couple's daughter when she was a baby. People noted that Emma Heming Willis and Bruce Willis welcomed their first daughter in 2012, several years after March 2009 wedding. They also have a daughter named Evelyn, who is 10. In addition, Willis has three grown daughters with his ex-wife, Demi Moore. The throwback glimpse of Willis comes less than two weeks after the Die Hard star turned 70. As People shared, in 2022, the family revealed that Willis was retiring from acting. The following year, fans learned that Willis had frontotemporal dementia. In her birthday message for her husband, Heming Willis asked fans to "flood him with all the love today -- he will feel it, I swear he will. You are one powerful bunch.

The 1980s ushered in a wave of fitness trends, from step aerobics and home workout videos to spandex and leg warmers. It was also a defining decade for bodybuilding and strength training. As the fitness boom took off, so did national gym chains like Gold’s Gym and Bally Total Fitness, which catered to bodybuilders and strength athletes. The facilities were packed with Nautilus and Cybex strength machines, endless rows of dumbbells, barbell bench presses, and squat racks. During this era, high-rep, high-volume training also became a go-to method for building muscle, solidifying its place as a foundation of hypertrophy training. What Is High-Rep, High-Volume Training?"High-rep, high-volume training is a training strategy that emphasizes a larger number of sets and reps to create muscular fatigue, thus creating specific metabolic stress, which has been shown to have positive outcomes in developing muscle growth," says Marty Miller, NASM CPT. The strategy requires slower tempo controlled reps ranging between 12 to 20. This type of movement is used to increase the total time under tension with a specific focus on the eccentric (negative) muscular contraction. The sets should be between 4 to 6 per body part based on the individual's training experience and the overall weekly training load. “One key component that's often overlooked is the rest interval between sets. To maximize the benefits from this form of training, it is critical to rest only 30-45 seconds between sets. This is the game changer!” Related: Want Stronger Legs? You Need These 50 Quad Exercises Why It Works“The physiological benefits of this type of training will be an increase in muscular development (hypertrophy), increased muscular endurance, and maximized muscular pump and blood flow," Miller adds. "High rep, high-volume training also stimulates the release of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), both of which are critical in enhancing muscle-protein synthesis. These benefits are initiated by the increased metabolic stress and cellular swelling, which triggers anabolic (muscle building) signaling." Miller also adds that the extended time under tension compared to standard training protocols increases mechanical stress on muscle fibers. This can enhance muscle recruitment and fiber breakdown, fostering optimal muscular development—especially when paired with adequate rest and proper nutrition. The Importance of Rest and Recovery in High-Rep, High-Volume Training"Muscular development does not occur in the gym," Miller says. "During a workout, especially a high-rep, high-volume workout, muscles are specifically targeted, worked to the proper level of fatigue to create cellular stress, and micro traumas to the muscle fibers. This is a critical component to muscular development.” To properly recover from this kind of training, Miller suggests honing in on the following:

The TikTok ban is looming ahead, but Mark Cuban might have a solution for social media users: Skylight. The new app, created by Tori White (CEO) and Reed Hermeyer (CTO), officially launched on April 1. Cuban first put out the call on Jan. 14 ahead of the original TikTok deadline. "So, I appreciate everybody reaching out to try come up with a TikTok alternative," Cuban said in a social media post. "I would be open to investing a supporting anybody or somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the AT Protocol." The AT Protocol is also what powers Bluesky's network and "videos posted on Skylight can be seen and engaged with by users on Bluesky and other ATProto-based apps," per TechCrunch. Users will be able to upload videos up to three minutes in length which is similar to the Bluesky app.
New features on the horizon include "support for sounds, duets, stitching, bookmarks, and playlists" and eventually more control for social media users on their feeds. The availability of the app comes on the heels of President Donald Trump confirming that an agreement with ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, will be done by the April 5 timelier, according to Reuters. “We have a lot of potential buyers,” he told reporters on March 31. “There’s tremendous interest in TikTok. I’d like to see TikTok remain alive.” The media outlet noted on March 28 that private equity firm Blackstone might be making a minority investment in TikTok for U.S. operations only. Skylight is currently available on the Apple App Store and is in beta on the Google Play Store. Related: Mark Cuban Blasts Elon Musk's 'Control' of Social Media Algorithms Медиа: | ↑ |
Longtime Saturday Night Live comedian Kenan Thompson has no plans to exit the late night sketch comedy program, despite his 20+ year tenure. In an interview with Us Weekly published on April 1, Thompson said that when it's his time to leave, it will be a mutual decision. "When my badge stops working, you know what I mean? [When] I don’t have access anymore, that’ll tell you," the 46-year-old said. "It’s their environment to employ me at. You know what I mean?” Thompson, who first joined the show in 2003, continued. “So [if] they keep asking then and I’m more than happy to oblige, and as long as the audience continues to laugh when we do something new." Thompson marked his 20th season on Saturday Night Live in October 2023. While he's taken on other roles, he has truly enjoyed his time on SNL. In an interview with People magazine at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet, he explained that the newness of each show is what keeps him hooked. "It's exciting like that. It's really exciting to find new, funny things, especially when you're further down your tenure," he said at the time. Saturday Night Live's most recent episode on March 30 was easily one of the most talked about episodes in recent years. The reason? Musical guest Morgan Wallen abruptly walked off stage at the end of the show. Thompson spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the viral moment. "I don't know what goes through people's minds when they decide to do stuff like that. I don't know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way," he said. "You see somebody before you get a chance to say hi or say good job or anything like that, they just dipping. I thought maybe he had to go to the potty or something," he added. According to Variety, there was no ill intent behind Wallen's walk-off. Related: ‘SNL’ Writer Reacts to Morgan Wallen’s Walk Off With 1 Telling Photo Медиа: | ↑ |
| Britt Lower is used to playing a few different roles. The Severance star who plays outie Helena Eagan and innie Helly R. revealed in an interview with Jimmy Fallon during her appearance on The Tonight Show that she juggled responsibilities in high school like marching band, cheerleading and playing on the high school basketball team. “I grew up in a really small farm town, and that meant that everyone had to do all of the extracurricular activities in order to field all of the teams,” Lower recalled. “So I would often be playing basketball and then I’d go to speech-team practice and practice my original oratory in my basketball shoes. I was also a cheerleader, and at halftime of the football games, I would run and grab my trumpet and march with the marching band [while] wearing my cheerleading outfit.” Lower, at the behest of Fallon, eventually picked up a trumpet for the first time since high school and delivered the theme song from Severance - relatively flawlessly. But her performance wasn't the only thing that caught the attention of the viewers. Dressed in a long-sleeve blue dress, Lower stunned the audience.

Fans of Lower's and the show rushed to the comments section to share love for the actress and her "stunning" blue dress. "Her dress is so stunning ??," one person said. "Helly R Медиа: | ↑ |
Derrick Henry continues to defy Father Time — or at least the NFL’s version of it for the running back position. The 31-year-old has quieted those who believe that running backs hit a decline at age 30 by continuing his dominant play in 2024. A recent clip of the Baltimore Ravens star getting in a ridiculous offseason workout is almost certainly one way he's been able to continue to thrive ahead of his 10th NFL season. Henry was spotted doing a sprint workout on a steep hill, but it's not the type of workout fans will typically see on their social media feed. Henry's uphill sprints also included footwork drills, resistance training, and much more, as seen below.
Henry putting in this type of work isn't surprising; however, the fact that he's doing so in early April, months before the new season, is eye-opening. The Ravens star not only led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 16 last season at the age of 30 but rushed for 1,921 yards and averaged a career-best 5.9 yards per attempt. Henry's stellar season earned him his fifth Pro Bowl nod and, for the third time in his career, second-team All-Pro honors. He's now led the NFL in rushing touchdowns three times (2019, 2020 and 2024) while leading the league in rushing yards twice. While the Ravens ultimately fell short of their goal of winning the Super Bowl, Henry was excellent in the team's two playoff games as well. He rushed 42 times for 270 yards (6.4 yards per attempt) and scored three touchdowns. Related: Mark Cuban, Ex-Mavericks Employee Have Tense Exchange Over Luka Doncic Trade Comments Медиа: | ↑ |
Following a lengthy, five-week hospital stay at Rome's Gemelli Hospital while battling pneumonia, including moments where doctors say he could have died, Pope Francis is at home in the Vatican recovering and moving forward. Now, things are getting back to normal, or as normal as things can be for the pope, who is still recovering and rehabbing. Francis doesn't seem to be skipping a beat, because he's been making some major moves in the Catholic Church as he slowly gets back to optimum health. According to the Vatican, Pope Francis has approved the first-ever female saint from Venezuela. On March 31, Francis made way for the canonization of Blessed Maria Carmen Rendiles by approving a decree that recognizes a miracle attributed to her, the founder of the Congregation of the Handmaids of Jesus. While the move has been approved, the Vatican has yet to announce a date for her canonization. Catholic leaders in Venezuela actually asked for her canonization back in 1995, so the approval is a long time coming. She was also beatified in 2018. Maria Carmen Rendiles was born on Aug. 11, 1903, in the capital of Venezuela, Caracas. She passed away in the same city on May 9, 1977. According to Saint for a Minute, "One of the miracles attributed to Blessed Carmen's intercession involved the healing of Trinette Duran de Branger on 18 July 2003." They add that, "This miraculous healing played a significant role in the process of her beatification and bears witness to her continued presence and intercession in the lives of those who seek her help." In a release sent out on March with the news, the Catholic bishops of Venezuela said that Rendiles was born without a left arm, but her physical deficiency "did not prevent her from developing an exemplary Christian life."

Looking to make gains at home? Even if money isn’t an object, space is usually an issue. Whether you’re living in a one-bedroom apartment or sharing a multi-bedroom house with the family and kids, there isn't always enough room to create the iron paradise of your dreams. For many guys, the solution is the garage. Out goes the car, and in comes the swole stuff. You don’t have to choose, though. With the right space-saving home gym equipment, you can have a full-fledged fitness center in your garage or house and still have room for the car or whatever else you want around. To find the most effective and affordable items for filling out your personal garage of gains, we consulted three home-gym experts. Here’s their advice on how to choose equipment that will last, and their recommendations for high-quality, space-saving pieces for your home gym. Best Compact Home Gym Equipment
The 11 Best Pieces of Home Gym Equipment for Small SpacesThere are thousands of products that can provide results in a home gym, and they can vary in cost from just a few dollars to as much as a car. These 11 products cover the whole range, from budget-friendly ($20-30) up to thousands of dollars. No matter what you spend, these 11 pieces are all tested and loved by our experts; they save space and can create serious gains. Best for Space-Saving Squats and Deadlifts: Rogue R-3W Fold Back Wall Mount Rack
Courtesy of Rogue This Rogue R-3W Fold Back Wall Mount Rack pairs a power rack with a barbell, plates, and a bench, so you’ve basically got a whole gym’s worth of strength training versatility in a single piece of equipment. And this folding version is a favorite of Ryan Koziol, owner of RYKO Fitness. When you’re not using the rack, it can quickly be folded up so it protrudes just five inches from the wall. “Pull the car out, then pull the rack out, and it still doesn’t take up too much space,” Koziol says. The rack comes in two depths—one that’s 20.5 inches from the wall when fully unfolded and one that’s 40.5 inches from the wall. “Pair that with an adjustable bench, and bingo, you’ve basically got a whole gym.” The Rogue Rack is made of 11-gauge steel and has pins that easily lock it into place when unfolded. Attach the included pullup bar, and you’ve got a base not just for pulling but for hanging a TRX suspension trainer or bands for even more versatility. Best Upgrade for Your Rack: Spud Inc. Super Econo Pulley Systems
Courtesy of Rogue The Spud Inc. Super Econo Pulley System is a simple, light set of pulleys and cables that turn a squat rack into a cable machine that can help you do lat pulldowns, horizontal rows, face pulls, cable curls, and a zillion other exercises at home. It’s been a game-changer for Shawn Arent, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., chair of the Department of Exercise Science at the University of South Carolina. “I’ve got two of these, and it’s wound up being a better investment that I ever thought it would be,” he says. Instead of having a whole cable stack of weights with a pulley, he says, plates can be hung from one end of the Spud system to act as weight. “They’re great for pushdowns, ab work, woodchoppers. You can set it up to do low rows…anything really.” One note, Arent says, is that because the plates you attach are suspended by the cable, they can swing when exercises are done quickly. His solution: Use a resistance band to attach the plates to the opposite side of the rack to keep the weights from swinging. Best Bench: X-Master Adjustable Bench 2.0
Courtesy of Xmaster Fitness Jose Guevara of ShreddedDad.com admits the X-Master Adjustable Bench 2.0 is pricey. But when buying adjustable benches from a big box store, the construction can often be flimsy and uncomfortable. You might be able to find a cheaper option that suits your needs, but this professional bench is the best one Guevara’s ever tested. When folded flat, there’s no awkward gap between the seat and the back pad. Both pads are thick, a feature many home gym benches lack. It can fold to seven different angles, each of which is marked with a convenient number on the side. And it’s heavy duty, allowing for an unbelievable 1,200 pounds of load. Best Dumbbells: Powerblock Elite USA 90 Adjustable Dumbbells
Courtesy of PowerBlock Adjustable dumbbells save a ton of space, and the Powerblock system is the best of the best. Unlike many other adjustable sets that top out around 50 pounds, Powerblock’s boxy offerings can go up to 90 pounds per dumbbell. They’re also built to last. As for versatility, they’re dumbbells: You can do almost anything with them! But, Koziol points out, Poweblock’s unique shape puts your hand in a kind of “cage.” For certain exercises, this form can feel a little different than regular dumbbells. This is also true of other adjustable dumbbells, though. The bulky sides can bump your shoulders on curls, for example. If you don’t think you’ll ever need 90 pounds of resistance on each arm, the Powerblock systems that top out at 70 or 50 pounds are a little less expensive. Best Small-Space Cardio: Concept2 RowErg
Courtesy of Concept2 A rowing machine only does one thing, but it does it really well. Full-body cardio on a rower, whether done for slow, steady efforts or in grueling, all-out HIIT sessions, is tough to beat. The Concept2 RowErg is the gold standard for all-over conditioning. At 6 to 7 feet long, they don’t seem space-saving, though. According to Koziol, a C2 machine is so light that you can roll it to the wall and store it vertically in your room before and after each session. Since it's powered by air resistance, the C2 doesn’t require power. And for even more space saving, it can be easily broken down into two pieces for storage if you want to row only during certain seasons. Best for Versatile Resistance: REP Workout Sandbags
Courtesy of REP Fitness When Arent and colleagues performed a study using sandbags and resistance bands for a high-rep workout and compared it to using a full gym’s worth of equipment, the sandbag group was able to gain almost as much muscle and strength as the bars-and-plates group. But the sandbag, without sand in it, weighed just a few pounds. This, he says, makes the bags a great option for travel. Take the empty bags with you on a trip to the beach, and scoop sand into them for a week’s worth of exercise. And since the REP bags, like many other sandbag systems, actually have internal bladders—kind of like mini sandbags within the main bag—you can easily adjust the weight for different exercises. REP bags range from a small size, which can be loaded up to 25 pounds, up to an extra-large bag that can hold 200 pounds. Sandbags can mimic just about anything you can do with a barbell, Arent says, and may even feel more comfortable. Doing Olympic lifts or front rack exercises like front squats with a sandbag can be easier on the wrists than with a bar. And sandbags let you do some moves you can’t do with a barbell because the bags can be thrown and tossed. You can lift it from the ground and dump it over your shoulder, again and again, for a conditioning session, toss it laterally across a field or beach, or slam them like medicine balls. Best for Your Carry-On: PerformBetter Flat Loop Superbands
Courtesy of Perform Better Looped resistance bands are more versatile than those with handles. In addition to holding them in your hands for curls, overhead presses, and other moves, the PerformBetter Flat Loop Superbands can be used for assisted pullups, or tied to a pole and looped around your waist for resisted lunges or marches. And because they fold flat and weigh almost nothing, they’re perfect for travel, Koziol says. Unlike the rubber super bands of the past, which can pinch, these PerformBetter Flat Loops are made with stretchy cloth webbing. They come in five weights, from “light” to “super heavy,” but you don’t need a whole set. Depending on your strength, you’ll probably only need two—a lighter one, like the “medium,” for moves like curls and assisting with pullups, and a slightly heavier one, like the “heavy” or “extra heavy,” for stuff like overhead presses, heavier squats, and pushdowns. Best for Zone 2 All Day: UREVO Under Desk Treadmill
Courtesy of Amazon If doing more Zone 2 training is on your fitness to-do list, a walking pad—basically a treadmill without handles—can be your ticket to 10,000 steps or more. By using one during his workday calls, 39-year-old dad Max Valverde was able to build his aerobic engine to the level where he could compete in the U.S. National championships for ski mountaineering in 2023. Since they’re handle-free, walking pads aren’t ideal for running, though. The UREVO Under Desk Treadmill lets you dial up the incline, increasing the intensity of your walk without increasing your risk of a fall. And since they’re relatively flat, they can be slid under a bed or folded up into a closet when not in use, Koziol points out. Most Unique Piece of Equipment: The SledTred
The Tib Bar Guy If you’ve always wanted to push a weighted sled but don’t have the space (or don’t want to tear up your backyard), the SledTred could be your new favorite piece of equipment. It’s a pullup and dip station with a folding manual treadmill attached. Step on, lean into the push pads, and you’re in the same position you’d be in to push a sled; and with the treadmill’s adjustable resistance, you can dial up the intensity. This unique piece of equipment is the most surprising apparatus in Guevara’s home gym, he says. He uses it much more than he’d ever anticipated. In addition to the fun and challenge of sled pushing, the manual treadmill can also be used for backwards walking, a popular move for strengthening the knees and lower legs. For added versatility, it also has a pullup bar and dip bars, as well as a setup to do Nordic hamstring curls on the treadmill deck. The multi-handled pullup bar can also be used to anchor resistance bands. Best for Minimal Spaces: Two FringeSport Prime Kettlebells
Courtesy of Fringe Sport The Prime Kettlebells from FringeSport are a must-have for your home gym. Instead of getting one, Koziol suggests getting two so you can do swings for conditioning, multi-exercise complexes for strength endurance, superset-style circuit training, or even straight sets of strength moves. His recommendation is to get one lighter kettlebell and one heavier one. The heftier bell can be used for swings and heavy squats, while the slightly lighter one can be used for overhead presses, Olympic lifts like cleans, and other lighter moves like curls. How heavy? It depends on your strength, of course. For the heavy bell, he says, most guys can probably swing a 44- to 53-pound bell. For the lighter one, Koziol suggests choosing one with which you can perform a single-arm overhead lunge. Hold the kettlebell with a straight arm next to your ear, then perform a lunge. If you can do it with that weight, it’s probably light enough for the other moves you’ll want to do, too. Best for New Challenges: Brrrn Board+ Courtesy of Amazon If you’ve seen a slideboard before, you’ve probably watched someone doing cardio like they’re speed skating. And the adjustable Brrrn Board+, which Arent loves, can do that. It’s a form of cardio that’s great for training for skiing, but also for challenging your body in side-to-side motion, a pattern that’s often ignored and can keep you moving more healthfully as you age. But a slideboard can do much more, Arent says, and has become a serious part of his workout arsenal. By placing one foot on the board, you can perform challenging, sliding lunges to the front, reverse, and side while your other foot is anchored on the ground. You can challenge your abs with pikes, mountain climbers, and body saw movements. The Brrrn Board+ is also adjustable in length, so you can slide to a stopping point, reducing the risk of overstretching on moves like a side lunge. Best for Big-Budget Tech Lovers: Tonal 2 Courtesy of Tonal With its resistance that can go up to 250 pounds and the included bench, a Tonal really can replace a whole gym’s worth of equipment, Arent says. The wall-mounted unit uses magnets to create that resistance, so it doesn’t need hundreds of pounds of weights. And the adjustable arms mean you can perform just about any move you could with dumbbells, a barbell, or a cable machine, with workout instructions built in. It’ll cost you, though. In addition to the price tag, the Tonal 2 requires a 12-month membership at $59.99 per month, more than $700 annually. For that price, you can get a fully kitted-out (but decidedly lower-tech) gym with a rack, barbell, weights, and more. What to Look for in Home Gym EquipmentThe most important quality in a piece of home gym equipment that saves space is versatility, Huevara says. While big, commercial gyms can have equipment that’s only good for one exercise, a garage gym doesn’t have that luxury. Try to find items that are versatile. Kettlebells, for example, are great for conditioning through swings, but also sub in well for dumbbells for exercises like rows, overhead presses, and curls. A squat rack, barbell, and bench can be used for almost every type of strength training exercise imaginable. Once you’ve chosen the right equipment for the exercises you want to do, Guevara suggests thinking about quality. With the rise of fake reviews online, this can be tough: It’s hard to know if a reviewer, even one on video, is just a paid promoter. The ShreddedDad creator suggests looking for a few things. First, look for multiple video reviews that highlight the same features or weaknesses, as it’s likely that these aspects are more accurate. Second, look for equipment that doesn’t just have a warranty but that comes from an established company. “Even if a piece of equipment has a lifetime warranty, if the company doesn’t survive, it doesn’t matter,” he says.

Patty Maloney, the 3-foot-11 actress who played a lovable Wookiee in 1978’s infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special, passed away on Monday, March 31 in Winter Park, Florida. She was 89 years old. Maloney’s health first suffered a setback in 2010, when she was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration, which made it challenging for her to read scripts. More recently, she suffered a series of strokes, which eventually led to her death. Related: Iconic 'Star Wars' Actor Dead at 94 “For a little person growing up in a big world, she did everything she wanted to do,” Maloney’s brother, Dave Myrabo, told The Hollywood Reporter. That included an entertainment career that dated back to her teens, when Maloney traveled with a carnival during the summer and worked as part of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. She exited the entertainment world in 1961, when she married Joseph Vitek, a printer from Chicago. Following his death in 1968, however, she was encouraged by friends and family to return to the stage in order to help her overcome the grief brought on by losing her husband. In 1975, Maloney landed a recurring role on Sid and Marty Krofft kid’s TV show Far Out Space Nuts playing Honk, an alien who spoke by honking. She went on to appear on a number of popular TV shows of the time, including Charlie’s Angels, Rhoda, Little House on the Prairie, and The Love Boat. She also landed recurring roles on Marty Hartman, Mary Hartman; The Bay City Rollers Show; and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. She maintained a busy career as a voice actress as well, which included voicing Darla in the animated version of The Little Rascals. She did some voice work on HBO’s Tales from the Crypt, where she also operated The Crypt Keeper. Maloney became a part of pop culture infamy with a starring role in The Star Wars Christmas Special, which aired the week before Thanksgiving in 1978. The variety show-style caper was seen as a quick cash grab to bank on Star Wars’ amazing popularity. While the film’s main stars, including Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill, all appeared, the special was centered around Han Solo’s Wookiee pal Chewbacca and his family back on his home planet of Kashyyyk, where Chewie has returned to celebrate “Life Day” with his friends and family. Maloney played the costumed role of Lumpy, Chewbacca’s young son. In a 2008 interview, Maloney noted how “very, very warm” the costume was because it “was made of all human hair.” Following The Star Wars Holiday Special’s TV debut, and subsequent thrashing by critics, George Lucas stated that, “If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every bootlegged copy of the program and smash it.” Maloney’s final role was in a 2005 episode of My Name is Earl. In addition to her brother, Maloney is survived by her two nieces and her brother-in-law. Медиа: | ↑ |
Paul Rudd has a reputation in Hollywood for being a truly nice guy. However, the actor recently admitted that he can get riled up once in a while. In fact, a person from his past has never been forgiven by the actor, and seemingly never will. Rudd talked to the Wall Street Journal and shared the details on April 1. The person who Rudd harbors long-term animosity toward turns out to be a dentist he went to early in his career. He admitted he doesn't even remember the dentist's name. Despite not remembering his name, Rudd admitted the dentist left him "so furious" after he "screwed up my teeth." "I always had decent teeth, and I never had braces," Rudd explained. Sometime after his breakout role in Clueless, he went to a new dentist. He noted he was in his "late 20s, early 30s" at the time. During his appointment with the new, unnamed dentist, Rudd recalls he was told, "You got six teeth that had cavities and I gotta take out these fillings and put in white fillings." Rudd continued, "And he goes, 'On this one, you also gotta do some preventative stuff.' And he had told my sister she needed to do it, too." He shared that his sister, Mandi Rudd Arnold, declined the additional work the dentist suggested. Rudd, however, felt that the dentist should know what he was talking about, so he went forward with the recommended work. "This guy screwed up my teeth so badly," Rudd revealed. He added, "It's one of the things that I carry around. I'm so furious. It's the only time I ever went to him." Rudd also said, "If he's reading this, I hope he knows he's a terrible dentist."

Citizen’s Eco-Drive Promaster Sea Orca Dive Watch with Blue Dial, $289 (was $525) on Amazon
Whether you’re a serious watch collector or are just starting out, adding a dive watch is a no-brainer—they’re tough, good-looking, and highly functional. This unique take from Citizen on the classic dive watch design is ISO-compliant, anti-magnetic, anti-shock, water-resistant to 200 meters, and has a one-way elapsed time bezel, super luminosity (up to 6 hours), and an easy-to-use stainless steel bracelet that can fit over a wet suit. The design, though, is the biggest selling point, boasting a striking silver-tone stainless case with a blue, three-hand dial and bezel indentations that are reminiscent of an orca’s black-and-white patterns. It’s also light-powered by way of Citizen’s vaunted Eco-Drive tech, so you never have to wind it or worry about changing a battery. Happy customers loved that the stunning dive watch is functional and beautiful. "Looks great—punches way above its weight," said one. Another commented: “I wanted a hearty dive watch that I can wear every day for fishing, swimming, and boating on the bay and ocean—the Orca is perfect for my needs.” A shopper who actually dives liked the bracelet’s adjustability, saying, “The best thing is the metal band has a feature to increase in diameter so it fits over your wetsuit sleeve.” Other shoppers like the overall design and aesthetics of the big diver. One said that the “dial is perfectly executed with fantastic lume on the oversized markers and handset.” And another liked that it’s “built like a tank.” It’s always fun to add a new watch to your collection, but high prices can be a deterrent. At almost $300 off, though, this dive watch is a must-buy. It’s high quality, comes from a trusted brand, and offers a unique and striking design that sets it apart from all other dive watches. Plus, it’s very functional and is ready to take you to the depths. This sale won’t last long, so add it to your collection now before the savings wash away. Медиа: | ↑ |
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is announcing a major recall for liquid egg products. According to the agency, Michigan-based Cargill Kitchen Solutions is recalling approximately 212,268 pounds of liquid egg products that "may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite. The agency's Food Safety and Inspection Service shared that the liquid egg items were produced on March 12 and 13 from Egg Beaters' liquid egg substitute and Bob Evans' Better'n Eggs Made with Real Egg Whites cartons. The products subject to recall bear establishment number "G1804" ink-jetted on the carton. While the agency says "there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products," it is warning consumers and restaurants to immediately dispose these products and not to serve them to customers. There's concern that some products may already be in consumer or foodservice refrigerators or freezers.  "These items were shipped to distributor locations in Ohio and Texas and for foodservice use in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois and Iowa," a USDA statement read. "There is a possibility that the products were distributed nationwide." The agency says the problem was discovered when it "received a tip about the potential contamination of these products."  The affected products have the following labels:

USC’s Juju Watkins shared an emotional message with her team after the Trojans’ 78-64 loss to UConn in the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight on Monday. After suffering a season-ending torn ACL in her right knee a mere five minutes into USC’s second-round win over Mississippi State, Watkins expressed her gratitude for the support fans and teammates showed her. “Thank you all for the incredible love and support. Seeing all your messages has meant the world to me — y’all have given me so much hope,” she posted on her Instagram Story. “I wish I could have been out there battling, but I couldn’t be prouder of the fight we’ve fought together. Thank you all.”
USC, a No. 1 seed, ended its season with the loss to UConn, who advanced to their 24th Final Four. Led by Paige Bueckers, the Huskies are set to face UCLA next. Watkins was instrumental in securing USC’s No. 1 seed, having averaged 24.6 points per game. Her injury occurred during a fast break when she was fouled and fell awkwardly, ultimately requiring surgery. In an interview with ESPN, USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb acknowledged the uncertainty of next season without Watkins. “Those aren’t conversations for right now, but I do think we will dive into how do we stay an elite team regardless of those circumstances?,” she said. “We will have time to figure out how to be great, even if JuJu isn’t out there.” However, Gottlieb had no doubt of Watkins’ eventual return. “But I have no doubt that her comeback’s going to be legendary, and I have no doubt that the strength of the program is not in doubt, and I think we proved that,” she said.

Men’s Journal aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. While not as well-known as The North Face or Patagonia, Prana has been cranking out great outdoorsy apparel that adventurers love. It’s the brand behind the Stretch Zion, one of our favorite pairs of pants for hiking, and right now, REI has a fantastic deal on another pair of the brand's best-in-class bottoms: a stretchy but durable pair of trail joggers for nearly 30% off. Prana Discovery Trail Joggers are just $67 right now, $28 less than the $95 sticker price. No reviews exist at REI, but we found some on Prana's website, and all but one of the dozen rankings is five stars, with shoppers there saying they “fit perfectly” and are “extremely comfortable and reasonably breathable.” REI has them in sizes small through XXL in a solid dark brown color. Prana Discovery Trail Joggers in Clay, $67 (was $95) at REI
If you were to ask if they’re great exercise joggers or great hiking pants, the answer would be yes. That’s because the 87% recycled polyester and 13% elastane blended fabric has the moisture-wicking and stretchy properties necessary for both kinds of activities. There’s also an adjustable waistband drawcord for a secure fit and a zippered pocket for a secure carry. “I bought these to wear in the Ecuadorian Amazon to keep bugs off of me and not be too hot,” wrote one particularly adventurous reviewer. “These are perfect for my needs—ankle fitted, light weight, color. Not the listed purpose, but I couldn't find ‘Jungle pants for bug defense and looking good while covered in Amazonian mud.’” Another reviewer shared that “these pants are extremely comfortable and quite breathable.” That makes them “great for hiking in warm weather.” They added that these pants “seem to be reasonably durable for how thin they are,” an important factor as one of the worst times and places to rip your pants is in the middle of a hike. REI has listed this particular color of the Prana Discovery Trail Joggers as discontinued, so there’s not going to be a restock. That likely means that if you miss this deal, you miss these pants. To avert that tragedy, pick up a pair today. Медиа: | ↑ |
Jack Black appeared on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show on March 31 to hype his new film, A Minecraft Movie. In the process of making a rather grand entrance, Black ended with a move he seemingly did not plan in advance. His pants fell down, but he made the most of the entertaining moment. Black's entrance and wardrobe malfunction were highlighted on The Tonight Show's Instagram page. The actor made his way from the back of the auditorium, through the audience, to Fallon's desk while delivering an enthusiastic guitar solo. He stopped by the band's spot on stage to jam for a second, and as he made his way to Fallon's desk, eagle-eyed viewers could see that his pants were slipping down. As Black arrived at Fallon's desk, his pants fully fell to his ankles. The actor's boxers were visible for a brief moment before he was able to recover from the wardrobe misfunction. Black pulled his pants back up and continued his energetic entrance without missing a beat. He even did some additional rocker moves before sitting down to chat with Fallon. Fallon noted that Black brought "the heat" and lots of energy for his entrance. Black quipped, "I didn't bring a belt. That's what I didn't bring." Fans of Black loved the moment. "He rocked his own pants off, that's how hard Jables rocked," one Instagram user declared. "Best entrance ever," raved another fan. "Nothing better than a pants down hug from Jack Black, ?" added someone else. "The best entrance ???? 100%, ???" read an additional comment.

Five Below is a beloved shopping spot for many Americans who like to find items that are usually priced under $5. The chain of specialty discount stores was founded in 2002 by Tom Vellios and David Schlessinger and is headquartered in Philadelphia. While the chain often appeals to tweens and teens, people of all ages can usually find something to like at the spot. Now, Five Below has made a major announcement, and it should make regular shoppers happy. In a new report about the company's 2024 earnings, Five Below dropped the news that they'll open an impressive 150 new stores this year. “We entered the holiday period with the goal of showcasing more newness with key trend-right, value product, while also improving our operational execution and in-store experience. We were very encouraged to see early positive results from our teams’ efforts and are excited to build on this in 2025 with [CEO Winnie Park] at the helm," the company's COO, Ken Bull, said. It's worth noting that the same report showed that Five Below had a rough holiday season, with the company's comparable sales down by 3% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. But, the company did well enough to warrant opening the new shops. Five Below actually opened 22 new stores during the fourth quarter. Five Below has yet to announce the locations for their new stories, but according to their official website, more than 30 stores have already opened in January 2025. Don't be surprised if you see a few items priced above $5 at the new stores. During the company's latest earnings call, Park said the store plans to go back to its main focus at whole $1 to $5 price points and "raising the bar on adding value to our highly edited assortment of product above $5."

If you’re a home mixologist, you probably have a few bottles that are both indispensable and also often overlooked. They’re the kind of spirits, liqueurs, and ingredients that you always have on hand, but you don’t really spend much time thinking about. In my almost two decades of writing about alcohol, I’ve learned that while you need a good stable of whiskeys, rums, gins, tequilas, and other spirits, your home bar isn’t complete without things like triple sec, curacao, benedictine, and of course the highly underrated Irish cream. The latter is what we’re most concerned about today. Whether you enjoy it as an indulgent, creamy after-dinner drink, mixed into a mug of coffee for a boozy, warming treat, or even poured over vanilla ice cream, Irish cream is a sometimes forgotten but always loved liqueur that deserves a little time in the proverbial sun. You likely know what Irish cream looks like and even what it tastes like, but what else is there to know about it? The time is right to take a deep dive into this velvety, sweet liqueur. Keep scrolling to learn about how it’s made, its history, and see some of our favorite brands. What Is Irish Cream?In the simplest terms, irish cream is a cream liqueur made from a blend of Irish whiskey, cream, and additional ingredients and flavors depending on the brand. It’s known for its slightly boozy, creamy mouthfeel and rich, sweet flavors of vanilla, cream, chocolate, and just a hint of warming Irish whiskey. While your favorite bottle of Irish whiskey is likely around 40 percent ABV or more, Irish cream is typically much lower. It’s often between 15–17 percent ABV. Related: This Whiskey Collector Owns 400 Bottles—but His 5 Favorites Might Just Surprise You How Is Irish Cream made?There are a few different ways to make Irish cream. The most common way is by distilling and aging Irish whiskey and then combining it with cream. But that’s not the end of the process as that would simply make creamy whiskey without much substance. Irish cream makers add things like sugar, vanilla beans, cocoa nibs, spices, and other added flavors. How to Make Irish Cream YourselfIf you don’t have a lot of free time, your best bet is purchasing a bottle of Baileys or another popular Irish cream. But if you want to make it yourself, you can. First you need a bottle of well-made Irish whiskey. Don’t go too cheap or your end product won’t be as flavorful and complex as you’d like. Next, you’ll need heavy cream, vanilla extract, condensed milk, and cocoa powder. To make it at home, all you need to do is add the heavy cream and cocoa powder to a bowl and stir until they’re completely combined. Next add, the whiskey, condensed milk, and vanilla extract and stir or blend until everything is evenly combined. If it isn’t to your liking, you can add more of any of the ingredients. Like it boozier? Just add more whiskey. Pour it into a bottle or mason jar, add a cap, and put it into your refrigerator until you need it. Does Irish Cream Need to Be Refrigerated?When you purchase milk, chances are you tuck it right into your refrigerator when you get home from the market. The same goes for creamer, cheese, butter, and pretty much anything dairy-based. Baileys doesn’t require refrigeration, but if you want it to be consistently creamy and flavorful for longer, you should store it in a cold place like the fridge. Always check the label on any Irish cream to see if it requires refrigeration. Better yet, just keep it all in the fridge. That way, you’ll be more likely to remember to add some to your weekend cup of coffee. Best Irish Cream BrandsNow that you’ve learned a little bit about Irish cream, it’s time to find some to add to your home bar. Below, you’ll find three of our favorites. One of the picks is a classic that you definitely already know. The other two are underrated gems that absolutely deserve a spot on your bar cart. Keep scrolling to see them all. Baileys Irish Cream
Courtesy Image No Irish cream list is complete without the including of Baileys. This 17 percent ABV cream liqueur has been crafted for sipping and mixing since 1974.

The cream, cocoa, and Irish whiskey-based liqueur is known for its flavor profile of vanilla beans, chocolate fudge, nutty sweetness, and whiskey as well as its indulgent, creamy mouthfeel. It’s the perfect addition to a boring cup of coffee or a cocktail like a white Russian. Coole Swan Irish Cream

This is some creamy, sweet, and sublime stuff thanks to the use of double cream, Irish whiskey, Madagascan vanilla, and Belgian white chocolate in the recipe. Who wouldn’t want to add a little of this their morning coffee on a cold day? Five Farms Irish Cream
Courtesy Image With a name like Five Farms Irish Cream, you should have a pretty good idea about what you’re in for. This farm-to-table liqueur gets its name because the cream is sourced completely from five family-owned farms in County Cork, Ireland. This creamy, flavorful Irish cream is made in single batches using fresh cream within 48 hours of collection and triple distilled Irish whiskey. The highly decorated Irish cream is known for its flavors of vanilla beans, butterscotch, toasted coconuts, and maple candy. Irish Cream Bottom LineDon’t let Irish cream get lost in the cocktail shuffle. Buy some or make your own. Mix it into your coffee at an early morning football tailgate on a frigid day. Use it in a white Russian, mudslide, muddy water, or as a rich, creamy after dinner digestif. You won't regret it.

Sydney Sweeney is officially back on the market after it was confirmed that not only is her wedding to Jonathan Davino called off, but their seven-year relationship is over. The 27-year-old actress isn't hiding from the press though — she made a splash at CinemaCon on April 1. The Euphoria star stunned on the red carpet, wearing an outfit that resembled a contemporary wedding dress. The silver-white corset and skirt hugged her curves with its form-fitting silhouette. Even though she isn't walking down the aisle with Davino this spring, she can still own a red carpet looking like a bride. The former duo's relationship had been "rocky for a long time," per People, and Sweeney was ready to put her career in the top position.  "She's exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects," the insider shared. "What did make her overwhelmed though was her relationship and her wedding. She didn't feel right about it." Their 14-year age gap might have also contributed to their differences. The media outlet's source pointed out that "she's not ready to settle down" because of her career opportunities. In addition to promoting The Housemaid with co-stars Brandon Sklenar and Amanda Seyfried at CinemaCon, Sweeney also has another season of Euphoria ahead and the Christy Martin project. As for those Glen Powell dating rumors, his mother squashed the story, telling the Daily Mail that the gossip was "silly" because "they’re definitely not together.” Related: Sydney Sweeney Calls Out Shady Paparazzi Seeking Bikini Photos Медиа: | ↑ |

Hailee Steinfeld has her fiance, NFL star Josh Allen, by her side for support as she does appearances to hype her new movie, Sinners. The couple was spotted at a premiere event for the film in Mexico, and he snuck in a sweet kiss during a quick moment when he saw an opportunity. A video went viral online showing the brief kiss Allen gave Steinfeld as he helped her into a vehicle. Just as Steinfeld went to open the door to the vehicle herself, Allen rushed over. He placed one hand on Steinfeld's back and pulled the door open with his other hand. Steinfeld smiled at her fiance and puckered up, then he leaned in to give her a quick kiss on the lips. After that, Allen guided her into the vehicle and watched as she got situated before shutting the door.
The video was not a high quality one, but fans did not care. The brief clip spread across X, formerly Twitter, and other online websites as soon as it emerged. Fans of Steinfeld and Allen could not get enough of it. "I'm not crying," one tweet read. "So cute," another fan tweeted. "That's a real MVP," someone else gushed. An additional tweet read, "They are so in love and Hailee's pout is so cute!!!" A fan page of Steinfeld's also shared the video and wrote, "IT COUPLE!" Another poster raved, "HER SMILE!" Someone else shared the video on X and wrote, "Josh Allen rushing over to Hailee Steinfeld at the Sinners premiere in Mexico, kissing her, and showing how proud he is-- AW, such a lovely couple!" "They are a wonderful couple," commented a TikTok user in response to the kiss video. Related: Hailee Steinfeld Makes Rare Public Comment About Josh Allen Медиа: | ↑ |
Morgan Wallen seems to have personally moved on from the drama surrounding his abrupt exit at the end of last week’s episode of Saturday Night Live, but viewers have not. Details about Wallen’s musical guest stint on the show continue to emerge, and one new report makes it sound as if the country music star was there to perform his two songs and his two songs only. Related: Kenan Thompson Addresses Morgan Wallen's 'SNL' Walk-Off According to Variety, Wallen was meant to be featured in the musical digital short “Big Dumb Line,” about the peculiar New York City pastime of regularly waiting in slow-moving lines to experience a one-of-a-kind food or collaboration that rarely lives up to the hype (see: the cronut). Toward the end of the song, there’s a bridge that was performed by surprise guest Joe Jonas, much to the audience’s delight. But inside sources told Variety that the writers had written the part for Wallen, who declined to participate. The outlet reported that “NBC could not be reached for comment” on the story. While Wallen has remained tight-lipped amidst all the speculation surrounding his SNL appearance, unnamed sources within his camp told Variety that the “I’m the Problem” singer actually had no problem with Saturday Night Live. Viewers and even SNL cast members sensed there may have been an issue when the singer abruptly left the stage before the credits finished rolling during the evening’s goodnights. Shortly after his departure from Studio 8H, Wallen posted a photo of a waiting plane to Instagram, which he captioned “Get me to God’s country,” which many interpreted as a subtle dig at New York City. Again, unnamed sources within Wallen’s team insisted that he had a great time performing on the show and that his quick exit was pre-planned. Variety spoke with a guest who attended Saturday's dress rehearsal, who confirmed that Wallen left the stage earlier in the night during rehearsal just as he did when the show was airing.

Former boxing world champion Tevin Farmer has shared a deeply personal health struggle for the first time. The former IBF super-featherweight champion and recent WBC interim lightweight title belt contender shared on Monday that he has Tourette's Syndrome. Farmer, 34, said he felt compelled to share the news following "concern" about his "tick." "I've kept this private for a long time but I see the concern and speculation about my tick. I have Tourette's Syndrome," Farmer tweeted. "I've dealt with it all my life. No neurological issues, so no need to worry. I'm still out here putting belt to a**! There you go, the rabbit's out of the hat." He followed up with a tweet adding, "Just an FYI. I'm not going anywhere. I will be 2X Champion and that will be part of my legacy. I'm a DOG, ain't [no] quit in me. NOW YOU KNOW."
According to the Mayo Clinic, Tourette's Syndrome is described as a medical disorder characterized by involuntary movements or sounds called tics. He also shared the news on Instagram and wrote in his caption, "With God by my side, I've been able to face every battle, even ones I never spoke about." He added that he's choosing to share his personal struggle because it doesn't "define" him and "it's part of my testimony." He thanked his fiancee, family and those who support him. Farmer's revelation came one day after his 135-pound rematch with William Zepeda on Saturday in Cancun, Mexico. It appeared as if Zepeda was going to cruise to a victory. At one point, it seemed as if the referee was about to stop the fight. Farmer looked discombobulated and defenseless before he miraculously kept himself in the fight thanks to punishing left uppercuts, particularly in Round 6. Farmer, the American southpaw, gave a valiant effort despite a left hand injury. The electric fight went the distance, but the judges gave Zepeda a majority decision win. While one judge scored it 114–114, the two other judges gave the nod to Zepeda, 116–112, and 115–113, respectively. Related: Boxer Making His Professional Debut Dies After Knockout Punch Farmer's record dropped 33–8–1 while Mexico's Zepeda remains undefeated with a 32–0 record and on track to challenge Shakur Stevenson for the WBC lightweight belt.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart seem to be paying little mind to the rumors that their 15-year marriage is on the fritz. On March 31, the two actors were seen taking the subway in New York City. They shared a kiss while on the platform waiting for a ride, according to photos posted by TMZ. Ford was in town supporting his wife, who is starring in the Off-Broadway play "Curse of the Starving Class." Last month, Radar Online reported there was trouble in paradise due to Ford and Flockhart spending time on separate coasts. A source told the outlet that Flockhart "flourishing" without her husband by her side. "Calista is absolutely loving [New York City]. She loves the crisp winter air, the cozy coffee shops, her cast-mates and getting back to her theater roots," the insider said, adding, "When Calista signed on to do the play, it was meant to end in March. These extra dates mean she'll have been gone almost three months by the time she's done. It's the longest stretch of time that she and Harrison will have been apart for." However, there doesn't seem to be any bad blood between Ford and Flockhart, as evidenced by their recent PDA. The photos come weeks after Ford was derailed by the shingles virus. According to ABC News the Indiana Jones star was forced to sit out the 97th Academy Awards due to the illness — which he appears to have completely recovered from.

The Karate Kid universe continues just after Netflix wrapped up six seasons of its hit show, Cobra Kai. That means there's more work for Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) to tackle. The trailer for the film dropped on April 1, but it's no joke — the movie will hit theaters on May 30. The plot involves a family tragedy that forces a skilled kung fu enthusiast Li Fong (Ben Wang) to move from the comforts of Beijing, China to New York City. Li turns to karate to give him comfort and help end his troubles. That's where the fun really begins. "Li’s kung fu teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso for help, and Li learns a new way to fight, merging their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown," per the official description. There is even a tribute to the late Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) in the clip and of course, there is always a classic bonsai quote. “Two branches, one tree," Daniel tells Li. The film will feature other familiar faces including Ming-Na Wen as Li's mother and Joshua Jackson as Victor, although little has been revealed about his character. Macchio and Wang attended CinemaCon in Las Vegas on March 31 to reveal an extended look at the upcoming film. The 63-year-old actor admitted to Variety that he had some hesitations in returning to the role so soon after Cobra Kai ended. “It was not a quick decision, because it was about protecting the Daniel LaRusso character, and finding where he would be at that point, and then protecting the whole legacy in the Miyagi-verse,” he explained in November 2024. “Once we were able to line that up, for the Cobra Kai story to lead into the new film — even though they’re separate ecosystems — it all made sense for me. Then, working with Jackie was just super exciting. I started this on the big screen. How cool is it to get it back to the big screen?"

Channing Tatum has a new woman in his life. On March 31, he was seen holding hands with 25-year-old Australian model Inka Williams, strolling in West Hollywood. According to Yahoo News, the two were first spotted together at a pre-Oscars party on February 28. A source told People not long after, "They met through friends. She's great. She has her own life. She's young, but seems older." The insider added, "Channing's doing well. [Inka] makes him happy. He's reuniting with Zoe later this spring for another movie project. It shouldn't be too awkward — they ended things on okay terms." Tatum was dating Zoe Kravitz, but the two broke up in October 2024. In an article published by Cosmopolitan, a source shared that their busy schedules affected their decision to split. In another interview, a source told Us Weekly, "Wedding plans were looming, but neither of them were rushing to the altar." Speaking about their press tour for Kravitz's directorial debut, "Blink Twice," the source said, "Ultimately once the project ended, they realized they were on different pages with what they wanted. It fizzled fast after their press tour wrapped." "Blink Twice," a psychological thriller that Kravitz also wrote, starred Tatum alongside Naomi Ackie, Christian Slater, Simon Rex, and others. Tatum shares an 11-year-old daughter, Everly, with his ex-wife, Jenna Dewan. The two wed in July 2009 and called it quits in April 2018. The insider who spoke to US Weekly stated that the actor is a "family man" and "very involved with his daughter."

After numerous interviews in which Keanu Reeves repeatedly said he was done with the role of the famous hitman, news has now broken that Reeves and director Chad Stahelski are officially working on John Wick 5. At CinemCon 2025 in Las Vegas, the news was announced by Adam Fogelson, the chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie will be produced by Lionsgate along with Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, of Thunder Road. "Keanu, Chad, Basil, and Erica would not return unless they had something truly phenomenal and fresh to say with these characters and this world,” Fogelson said at Cinema Con. “We can’t wait for audiences to see where the journey takes us next.” Related: Keanu Reeves Says He Might Be Getting Too Old for 'John Wick 5' Previous to this announcement, Reeves had said in various interviews that he was "too old" for the character. Most recently, he said that there was no way to come back since the character had "died." Before John Wick 5 happens, Reeves will play the character very soon, in the spinoff film Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas as another assassin who goes head-to-head with John Wick. While most assumed this means that Ballerina is set before the events of John Wick 4, this new announcement throws doubt on that. Ballerina might not directly set up John Wick 5, but clearly, this franchise isn't slowing down anytime soon. There is no release date yet for John Wick 5. Meanwhile, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina hits theaters on June 6, 2025.Related: New 'Ballerina' Trailer Proves It's Basically 'John Wick 5' Медиа: | ↑ |
Intouch Insight, a company tracking fast-food drive-thru speed and accuracy for 25 years, reports that Chick-fil-A currently leads in accuracy, as noted by the Washington Post. Over the past six years, Chick-fil-A achieved an impressive 92% accuracy rate, making it the top performer in the market. Burger King and McDonald's followed closely, tying for second place with an 88% accuracy rate. Arby’s secured the fourth spot. KFC ranked lowest with an 81% six-year average, but it showed significant improvement since 2024. It surpassed Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and Dunkin’, which were all ranked higher than KFC in the six-year average. Despite this, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, and Dunkin’ remained among the bottom four in terms of drive-thru accuracy. While KFC’s improvement was notable, it still trailed behind in the overall rankings, underscoring the competitive nature of the fast-food industry’s drive-thru performance. While Chick-fil-A is the deemed the most accurate in terms of "fast food" service, the chain was deemed as having longest drive-thru lines, with an average of five cars ahead of you before you can place your order. On average, customers at Chick-fil-A can expect to wait around eight minutes for their food. On the flipside, KFC's drive-thru usually has just over one car ahead of you, while Taco Bell leads in speed, getting customers served in an average of just 4.3 minutes. A previous study by CouponBirds rated Chick-fil-A as "the best super-chain," awarding it a score of 3.95 out of 5. Медиа: | ↑ |

I’ve dropped it a few times as well, and it is a tried and true Craftsman product.” “I purchased a Craftsman blower and trimmer set and love them,” another shopper said. “However, I needed an endless power supply, so I purchased two more batteries.

The Final Four of the 2025 NCAA Tournament is set with all four No. 1 seeds hoping to punch their ticket to the national title game. No. 1 overall seed Auburn is set to square off against the Florida Gators in the Final Four on April 5. Head coach Bruce Pearl was reminiscent of the team's last trip to the Final Four in 2019 when the Tigers lost to eventual champion Virginia in a one-point game. “The other thing about going in 2019, when we went in 2019 there wasn’t a one seed alive,” Pearl said, via The Paul Finebaum Show. “It was a wide open Final Four with Virginia. Maybe Virginia might have been a No. 1 — I don’t know. I think they were. But Michigan State, Texas Tech on the other side weren’t. “Right now, I believe you have the four best teams in college basketball. Yeah, they were all No. 1s. But I don’t think there’s a single team outside of these four that you would want to make an argument saying, ‘No, no, they’re one of the top four teams.’ I don’t think there’s a fifth team out there that you can make that argument for. These are the best four teams left.” As the team prepares for the Final Four, the cheerleaders are doing the same. On the afternoon of April 1, cheerleader Ella Jordan shared a few photos from the team's win over Michigan State in the Elite Eight. "AU IS GOING TO THE FINAL 4???," she said in the caption of the post. View the original article to see embedded media. Her friends and followers rushed to the comments section to show some love. "Ya ur perfect," one person said. "LITERALLY THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER I BET," offered another. "BEST EVER!!!!!!" added a third. Auburn and Florida tip off at 6:09 p.m. ET on CBS.

In 2028, the world will experience a musical and cinematic event that's never really happened before. Three years from now, in April, Sony Pictures will release four separate (but connected) movies about the Beatles, all directed by Sam Mendes. The four actors playing each Beatle have been revealed, but one person has some thoughts about the other historical figures in the movie. Namely, herself. George Harrison's first wife, Pattie Boyd, recently took to X and fired off a tweet about how the movie would handle her role in the story of the biggest rock band of all time. "I wonder who will be cast to play me?" she said. "That's assuming that I get to feature in any of the movies..."
An international model in the 1960s, Boyd married Beatles guitarist George Harrison in 1966. They later divorced in 1977. Boyd then married famed guitarist Eric Clapton, a friend of Harrison's. In fact, the famous Clapton song, "Layla," was based on Clapton's romantic feelings for Boyd, while she was still married to Harrison. Clapton and Harrison remained friends, despite the fact that Boyd left Harrison for a different guitarist. To this day, Boyd points out that Harrison frequently cheated on her, which is why she formally left him in 1974. In a recent interview, she called Harrison's infidelities "blatant." Clearly plenty of material for a movie! The new Beatles movies will star Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. If none of the Beatles' wives or other relationships are explored at all in any of these four movies, it will be quite curious indeed. The four separate Beatles movies will hit theaters in April 2028.Related: Cast for All Four Beatles Movies Revealed, Unprecedented Release Plan Announced Медиа: | ↑ |
Steve Kornacki has been a constant presence at MSNBC since joining the network in 2012. He's now taking his talents elsewhere, albeit in familiar territory. According to multiple reports, the popular 45-year-old data analyst and election coverage map guru is leaving MSNBC for NBC and NBC Sports. The move comes as NBC's parent company, NBCUniversal, prepares to spinoff the cable news network. Kornacki, popular for his unparalleled, laser-focused analytical skills as he is for his khakis, will serve as chief data analyst at NBC News and NBC Sports. Variety on Tuesday reported that Kornacki will have a contributor role but with a long-term commitment. That he won't be a full-time staffer likely means Kornacki will be free to take on outside projects. Variety also reported that Kornacki will likely make appearances on Meet the Press and Football Night in America, the latter of which created a huge buzz when he made a crossover just a few years ago during NBC Sports' NFL playoff coverage. Kornacki has also shared his insights in the Kentucky Derby and March Madness. Kornacki built a strong following during his time at MSNBC, where his electoral college map analysis was must-see TV during each election cycle. He became MSNBC's election coverage map correspondent in 2014. But analyzing election maps and exit polls is far from his only superpower. It's said that Kornacki, a diehard sports fan who earned a degree in film and television from Boston University, is likely to pursue a game show hosting gig in the future, according to the Los Angeles Times. Kornacki, a huge fan of game shows, apparently got a shot at a game show pilot in 2022. Kornacki's the latest to defect MSNBC for NBC. Venerable journalist Andrea Mitchell recently stepped down as host of her show for a role at NBC News. Медиа: | ↑ |
