Elizabeth Debicki has built a career around following unexpected possibilities. Born in Paris and raised in Australia, the actress grew up surrounded by performance but did not always imagine herself becoming a screen star. Archaeology, history and even law once competed for her attention before acting ultimately became her chosen path. That curiosity has remained visible in a career spanning stylish spy movies, ambitious science fiction and acclaimed television drama. Rather than following a predictable route, Debicki has repeatedly embraced roles that challenge what audiences expect from her.
Debicki was born to professional dancers, a Polish father and an Australian mother of Irish heritage. After the family moved to Melbourne when she was young, dance became an important part of her childhood. She trained in ballet before eventually deciding that acting offered the creative direction she wanted to pursue. Growing up as the eldest of three children also gave her a reputation within the family for being confident and ****** ertive, even though she has described her younger self as more awkward and bookish.
Before settling on drama, Debicki was fascinated by archaeology and the stories hidden within history. She also considered studying law and performed strongly academically. Acting ultimately won, and she studied drama at the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. Soon after graduating, she began attracting professional opportunities that quickly moved her career forward.
One of her important early breakthroughs came when Baz Luhrmann cast her as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. The 2013 film placed Debicki alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, introducing her to a large international audience. She followed it with Guy Ritchie's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in 2015, playing the sophisticated villain Victoria Vinciguerra. The role pushed her into the stylish world of action cinema, despite Debicki not being a driver herself at the time.
Her versatility became increasingly apparent through projects including The Night Manager, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Widows. In 2020, she joined Christopher Nolan's Tenet as Kat, bringing emotional vulnerability to a complicated science fiction thriller filled with elaborate action sequences and unusual ideas about time.

Hosted by Mariska Hargitay and live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards welcomed over 20 first-time nominees, including Chase Infiniti for The Testaments, Hacks star Megan Stalter, Sarah Pidgeon for FX's Love Story, and Carey Mulligan, who is up for two Emmy nominations for her role as Lindsay Crane-Martín in Netflix's Beef.
Mulligan attended tonight's ceremony in a dress designed by everyone's favorite minimalist duo, the Olsen twins. And yet, despite The Row's restrained approach to fashion, Mulligan's resort 27 dress is anything but. It's colorful. It's playful. It's eye-catching. The sky-blue strapless dress teases a reveal of a stark-white underpinning at the neckline, overlayed with patterned embroidery. Mulligan wore for minimal jewelry—no necklace, opting instead for stunning diamond stud earrings and a pearl ring.
The back of the dress features a deconstructed bow that drapes down to meet the hem, where a pair of pointed-toe heels peek out from underneath. See the entirety of Mulligan's look below.

MONTREAL (AP) — Chris Kreider agreed to terms on a contract for this season with the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday after mutually terminating his previous deal with the Anaheim Ducks earlier in the week.
Kreider, a Massachusetts native, wanted to get back to the Eastern Conference to be closer to family after playing last year in Southern California following a trade from the New York Rangers. The 35-year-old winger joins a young team that is coming off reaching the East final before losing to eventual Stanley Cup champion Carolina.
Kreider has been booed in Montreal since colliding with Carey Price during a playoff series with the Rangers in 2014. Price did not play again that spring because of a resulting knee injury.

Back when Pamela Anderson was diagnosed with hepatitis C in the '90s, her doctor said she had about 10 years to live. "The Last Showgirl" star opened up about her diagnosis Sept. 6, as she received an award at the amfAR Gala in Venice. "Back in the late '90s, when I was diagnosed with hepatitis C, there was no cure," Anderson said. "I'm sure that colored and corrupted my decisions. It was not fear of death but fear of what might happen to my young children. It turned my life inside out."
The "Baywatch" actress disclosed her diagnosis in 2002, and said she got hepatitis C by sharing a needle with ex-husband rock drummer Tommy Lee. Lee has denied this. Hepatitis C, a viral infection that primarily affects the liver, can exist quietly in the body and is easy to overlook. The infection is spread from blood-to-blood contact. Sharing needles or syringes is the most common cause of new infections, according to Dr. William Carey, a senior hepatologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

An investigation is ongoing after an Arizona State hockey player collapsed on the first day of workouts with the team this fall.
Sun Devils defenseman Matthew Mayich was participating in a workout on Aug. 20, the first day of Arizona State classes for the fall semester, when he collapsed. First responders arrived after calls of a heat-related illness, and Mayich was taken to a local hospital. He has since been transferred to the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
Temperature at the time was reportedly between 87 and 89 degrees. The workout was being run by an ex-Green Beret soldier, too, who was leading the team through "grueling" drills, his attorney Robert Carey told the Arizona Republic on Monday. Multiple players told Carey that the former soldier, Tim Ziesel, "yelled at them from the get-go … like a drill instructor," and that they were told not to complain. Water, he said, was only available for those who led exercises.
Mayich allegedly showed obvious signs of distress and was unable to complete tasks throughout the workout.
"He was disoriented and struggled well before he collapsed," Carey said.

Marnus Labuschagne has been left out of Australia's ODI squad for the upcoming tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa, raising more questions about his future in the national team.
The batter had a poor run during Australia's recent ODI series in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Although he finished the Bangladesh campaign with an unbeaten 55 after being moved down the batting order, it was not enough to secure his place.
With Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh returning, Australia's selectors decided to leave Labuschagne out. His omission could also affect his chances of playing in the upcoming three-Test series against South Africa, especially after his disappointing performances against Bangladesh.
The six ODIs against Zimbabwe and South Africa are important for Australia's preparations for the 2027 World Cup, which will be hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Australia will be led by Mitchell Marsh in Zimbabwe, while Pat ****** mins will join the team for the South Africa leg. ****** mins and Marsh could share captaincy duties depending on ****** mins' workload. Mitchell Starc will return for the South Africa matches, while Josh Hazlewood has been selected for both series.
Australia's ODI squad:Xavier Bartlett, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Pat ****** mins (SA only), Joel Davies, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Mitchell Marsh, Oliver Peake, Matthew Renshaw, Billy Stanlake, Mitchell Starc (SA only), Adam Zampa.
New South Wales all-rounder Joel Davies has received his first ODI call-up after impressing in the T20I series against Bangladesh. Left-handed batter Ollie Peake has also kept his place.
Australia have added fast bowlers Spencer Johnson and Billy Stanlake. Johnson returns after recovering from a lengthy injury, while Stanlake recently ended a more than seven-year wait for another international appearance.
Cooper Connolly will remain with the ODI squad after his impressive 149 against Bangladesh.
The Zimbabwe series starts on September 15 in Harare, followed by matches on September 18 and 20. Australia will then play South Africa on September 24, 27 and 30.

Mariah Carey was virtually unrecognizable in a rare throwback photo she shared on social media on Monday, which featured her late mother, Patricia Carey, who passed away in August 2024 at the age of 87.
In the photo, Mariah was just a young girl as she sat in her mom's lap while putting food in her mouth. She was adorable in an orange top, with her brunette tresses pinned back by white clips. Patricia smiled in the background, dressed in a patterned green turtleneck with her long brunette locks flowing down past her shoulders.
Mariah shared the rare throwback on the anniversary of Patricia's death (@ Instagram)
"Missing you," Mariah captioned the old photo, alongside a red heart emoji. Her legion of fans took to the comment section of the post to share their love, with one writing: "Nothing like a mama," while another added: "Sending you all of the love, Mariah."
A third chimed in: "Your beautiful mother is with you every step of the way," while another said: "She's with you always."

Mariah Carey's daughter, Monroe Cannon, sparked fear in the songstress' fans on Monday when she shared a throwback photo with her mother alongside a mysterious caption.
The 15-year-old posted a snap of the pair spending time together in a bathhouse, with Mariah lying on the wooden deck dressed in a black outfit with her legs supporting Monroe as she leaned back against her, arms splayed out. The pair both wore smiles on their faces during the silly moment, showcasing their strong bond.
Monroe sparked fear in Mariah's fans with the social media post (@ Instagram)
While the photo captured a sweet moment between the mother-daughter duo, it was Monroe's caption that sent fear into the hearts of Mariah's fans. The teen simply captioned the post with four emojis: a candle, two pink hearts, a yoga pose and an angel wing.
Many interpreted this to mean that something was amiss with Mariah, as the angel wings in particular are often used in social media posts indicating that someone has passed away.

Ireland missed an opportunity to seize control of their World Cup future after losing 3-2 to Spain in a thrilling opening World Cup Pool C game in Wavre.
Ireland went behind twice after goals from Laia Vidosa and Sophia Keenan but fought back with Hannah McLoughlin and Niamh Carey scoring from penalty corners.
Despite Gareth Grundie's side being in the ascendancy, a superb strike from Xantal Gine with five minutes remaining broke Irish hearts.
"We were very disappointed with our second quarter of that game," Irish captain Sarah Hawkshaw told BBC Sport NI.
"We thought we started quite well, and in the second half we dominated most of the momentum of the game. But the second quarter, we were disappointed with that. It put us on the back foot.

Cameron Green's fighting century may have come in a losing cause, but it gave Australia something positive to take away from their heavy Test defeat to Bangladesh in Darwin on Sunday.
The all-rounder scored 104 from 201 **** as Australia recovered from a difficult position to take a 56-run lead.
However, Bangladesh needed just 57 runs in the final innings and chased it down comfortably to complete the win.
Former Australian wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist said Green's innings could provide a model for him to follow in the future, especially given the expectations surrounding the 26-year-old.
"He is a big man who shoulders a lot of responsibility. He has had a lot of expectations on him," Gilchrist said as quoted by Fox Cricket.
"There is a blueprint there for Cameron Green to follow and look to execute now. It is one of the positive stories out of what has been a really tough match for the Australians," he added.
Former Australia cricketer Kerry O'Keeffe also backed Green to become a key part of the batting order, praising how he built his innings.
"Cameron Green has been brilliant. He had the rhythm of a number five (and) the way he's constructed this innings is a good thing going forward," he said.
"If he gets his mental side right, he has the capacity to bat five and score big, but then, when Steve Smith moves on, to bat at four and be a real player for Australia. The inner sanctum have always believed he fits and you can sense a long career ahead of him now," he added.
Australia were bowled out for 198 in the first innings, despite Steve Smith's 71. Bangladesh responded with 426, led by Tanzid Hasan's 101, while Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored 84 and 65 respectively.
Australia then slipped to 73/3 before Green, Smith and Alex Carey helped them recover and take a 56-run lead. Bangladesh's Miraz and Mahmud took five and three wickets respectively before Bangladesh chased down the target without trouble.

Bangladesh moved within touching distance of one of the biggest Test victories in their history after reducing Australia to 161/4 at stumps on Day 3 of the first Test at Marrara Stadium on Saturday. The hosts remain 67 runs behind Bangladesh's first-innings total of 426, leaving the visitors needing just six more wickets to secure a historic Test victory on Australian soil.
Cameron Green remained unbeaten on 43, while Alex Carey was not out on 19 as Australia battled to survive the final session. However, the hosts still face the daunting task of first erasing the deficit before setting Bangladesh a target in the fourth innings.
Hasan Mahmud once again proved to be Australia's biggest problem, taking two wickets in the second innings after claiming 6/55 in the first innings. The fast bowler dismissed both openers cheaply, with Jake Weatherald falling for a duck and Travis Head departing for 17. Both batters chopped the ball onto their stumps while attempting cut shots.
Mahmud's two wickets took his match tally to eight, putting Bangladesh firmly in control.
Bangladesh resumed Day 3 on 351/6 and eventually posted 426, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz playing a crucial role in extending the visitors' lead. Mehidy scored 65 off 154 ****** and added valuable partnerships with Hasan Mahmud, Taijul Islam and Taskin Ahmed to guide Bangladesh past the 400-run mark.
After contributing with the bat, Mehidy returned to make another crucial impact with the ball, removing Steve Smith for 44 late in the day. Smith appeared set to guide Australia out of trouble before Mehidy took a sharp caught-and-bowled chance to reduce the hosts to 122/4.
Josh Hazlewood was the standout bowler for Australia, claiming all four Bangladesh wickets to fall on Saturday and finishing with 6/89. His dismissal of Mehidy was particularly significant as it brought up Hazlewood's 300th Test wicket. He became the fourth member of Australia's famed pace attack to reach the landmark and the ninth Australian bowler overall.
Hazlewood then dismissed Ebadot Hossain for seven to wrap up Bangladesh's innings at 426.
Australia's top order once again failed to provide a strong platform. Weatherald was dismissed without scoring before Head followed for 17, leaving Australia struggling at 37/2. Marnus Labuschagne showed some intent but was eventually bowled by Taijul Islam for 31 off 59 ****** after missing a straight delivery. Smith's dismissal then left Australia reeling at 122/4 before Green and Carey steadied the innings.
Australia's biggest successful comeback from a first-innings deficit at home came in 2010, when they recovered from 206 runs behind Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With Australia still 67 runs short of even drawing level, Bangladesh have placed themselves in an excellent position to create history in the first Test of the two-match series.

Juraj Slafkovsky says money is no longer the priority for Montreal Canadiens players chasing their first Stanley Cup together.
The Canadiens have built a young core (youngest team in the NHL) around Slafkovsky ($7.6 million AAV), Nick Suzuki ($7.875 million), Cole Caufield ($7.85 million), Lane Hutson ($8.85 million) and Ivan Demidov ($9.15 million). Several players have accepted long-term deals that preserve flexibility around the roster.
Meanwhile, players around the NHL are signing contracts that exceed $15 million annually in 2026.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford and acclaimed actor Richard Gere were the "it" couple of the early '90s. In 1992, the pair's Vogue cover made fashion history. Fast-forward 34 years, and her daughter (Kaia Gerber) and his son (Homer Gere) are reimagining the iconic shoot with a bold new cover photo for the magazine.
Crawford and Gere reportedly met in 1988 at the home of photographer Herb Ritts. The would-be legendary supermodel was only 21 at the time. Gere (who had already starred in American Gigolo, An Officer and a Gentleman, The Cotton Club, and other famous films) was a much older 38.

Despite the couple's age gap, they quickly got serious and eloped in 1991. But by 1995 their relationship had soured and the power couple divorced. Crawford went on to briefly date actor Val Kilmer and, in 1998, married entrepreneur Rande Gerber. She and Gerber later had two children: Presley Gerber (born in 1999) and Kaia Gerber (born in 2001).
Meanwhile, Gere welcomed his eldest son, Homer Gere, in 2000 with then-girlfriend actress Carey Lowell. The couple married in 2002 and divorced in 2016. He later married and had two more children with his current wife, Alejandra Silva.

Hezly Rivera rallied perfectly on Sunday to claim her second straight U.S. women's gymnastics ****** le.
Rivera, after starting the final day of competition in fourth, ended up beating the field by more than a full point in Phoenix to win her second consecutive national ****** le. She is now the first woman to go back-to-back in the competition since Jordyn Wieber pulled the feat off in 2010 and 2011, excluding Simone Biles' dominant run in the sport, of course.
Rivera was just about perfect on Sunday. The 18-year-old posted a 56.950 in the second day to get to 111.950 on the weekend. While starting more than a point back, Rivera narrowed the gap to half of a point after the first two rotations. It was then her floor routine, where she earned a 14.300, that finally sent her into the lead.
Rivera made her Olympics debut at the Paris games last summer, where she helped the Americans win gold as a team for the third time in the past four competitions. She also defended her beam ****** le this weekend.
Claire Pease finished in second at 110.800 while claiming the uneven bars ****** le, and Charleigh Bullock, 16, came in third at 110.550. Pease was tied for the lead after the opening day with Skye Blakely. But Blakely, who won silver on bars, fell three times on Sunday to drop down to seventh. Two-time gold medalist Jade Carey finished in fifth, and won her third U.S. vault ****** le in the process.

PHOENIX (AP) — Jade Carey doesn't need to be at the U.S. gymnastics championships. At least, not like this.
That's part of what makes it all so sweet.
The 26-year-old knows she could have walked away following her final season at Oregon State in the spring of 2025, with a resume stuffed with Olympic and world championship medals and her place in the history of the storied U.S. women's program secure.
She tried, kind of. The athlete who had been going nonstop for the better part of 20 years gave her body a bit of a break after her NCAA career ended. It lasted a handful of weeks.
Then one day, she popped into the gym and, in the words of her father and longtime coach Brian, "started playing again."

It’s been nearly two years since Jade Carey last competed in elite gymnastics, but the three-time Olympic medalist is back like she never left. Carey began her LA 2028 Olympic comeback on June 27 at the American Classic competition, taking the floor for the first time since winning two medals at the 2024 Olympic Games.
Competing in all four events at the American Classic, Carey finished second in the all-around behind 17-year-old Tatum Drusch and won gold medals on vault and floor exercise, her specialties.
Though the two-time Olympian competed with downgraded difficulty from her typical Olympic-level programs, she showcased impressive height, form, and endurance in her elite return.
Prior to this weekend’s competition, Carey indicated that she would limit her difficulty level as she eased back into elite training. Thus, Saturday’s result was a resounding success for Carey’s camp.

For the fifth consecutive year, former Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg has been left waiting for a call from the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame announced its Class of 2026 on Monday, and Zetterberg was not among the players selected for induction. Instead, Patrice Bergeron, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne, Keith Tkachuk, Cindy Curley, and executive Brian Burke earned enshrinement this year.
For Red Wings fans, the news is likely to reignite a familiar debate: How much longer will Zetterberg have to wait?
This marked Zetterberg's fifth appearance on the Hockey Hall of Fame ballot since becoming eligible.
To gain induction, a candidate must receive support on at least 75 percent of the ballots cast by the Hall's 18-member selection committee. Specific voting totals are not made public, leaving little insight into how close Zetterberg came to earning a spot this year.

The College Baseball Foundation announced the winner of the 2026 Brooks Wallace Award on Saturday. This year, Nebraska senior Dylan Carey was named the recipient.
The award goes to the nation’s top shortstop based on his performance both offensively and defensively. It is named after former Texas Tech shortstop Brooks Wallace, who played for the Red Raiders from 1977 to 1980 and tragically passed away from leukemia at the age of 27.
The award was first presented in 2004, initially recognizing the National Player of the Year until 2009. Carey is the second Husker to win the Brooks Wallace Award, joining Alex Gordon, who won the honor as the national player of the year in 2005.
Carey earned the honor after concluding a massive collegiate career for Nebraska. The senior also made first-team All-Big Ten and won Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year by earning a .981 fielding percentage with just four errors in 216 chances. He also recorded 29 double plays at shortstop.
In the batter's box, the Castle Rock, Colorado, native hit a .353 average, totaling career-highs in hits (85), RBIs (65), home runs (15), runs scored (53) and triples (two). He also struck 16 doubles. Carey also finished his career with 266 hits, 167 RBIs and 165 runs, becoming the ninth Husker in program history to reach the 200-150-150 mark. He did become the team's all-time leader in career doubles with 63.

Bangladesh registered only their second-ever ODI win over Australia, beating a depleted Australian side by 86 runs via the DLS method in the first match of the series in Mirpur on Tuesday.
Returning to ODI cricket after four years, Mosaddek Hossain made an unbeaten 86 off 70 ****** . Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 67, while opener Tanzid Hasan added 54 as Bangladesh posted 284/8.
In reply, Australia were restricted to 191/9 in 42.2 overs before lightning and rain stopped play. Chasing 285, Australia still needed 94 runs from 46 ****** when the match was halted and it could not be resumed. Cameron Green remained unbeaten on 52 off 66 ****** .
Fast bowler Nahid Rana led Bangladesh's bowling attack with 4/41, regularly touching 140 kph. Mosaddek also contributed with the ball, returning figures of 2/37 from his 10 overs.
Australia's chase got off to the worst possible start when Matthew Short was bowled by Taskin Ahmed off the first ball of the innings. Marnus Labuschagne, who had scores of 0, 5 and 19 in the recent ODI series against Pakistan, managed only 1 before being dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman.
Cooper Connolly scored 35 and shared a 49-run partnership with captain Josh Inglis (19) before adding another 40 runs with Alex Carey (47). However, Mosaddek dismissed Connolly and Rana struck three times in three overs during his second spell to put Bangladesh firmly in control.
Mosaddek's innings included seven fours and three sixes. He was dropped twice before reaching his half-century by Connolly and Oliver Peake, while Adam Zampa missed another chance when he was on 73.
Shanto also survived an early chance on 9 before going on to register his 12th ODI half-century.
For Australia, Nathan Ellis was the most successful bowler with 3/38 after also impressing in the recent Pakistan series.
The victory was Bangladesh's first ODI win over Australia since 2005. Australia had lost the ODI series against Pakistan 2-1 last week and are playing their first bilateral ODI series against Bangladesh in 15 years. The remaining two matches of the series will be played in Mirpur on Thursday and Sunday.
