For spring 2027, Vincent Garnier Pressiat transformed a floor of the recently reopened Bus Palladium — where stars like Serge Gainsbourg and Mick Jagger stayed in the 1970s — into an intimate stage for a woman in the messy aftermath of a breakup.
Guests were invited behind room doors to discover scenes of morning-after disorder: one model struggled to light a cigarette in front of a fan, another got a tattoo on a bed and a third stood beside the sofa holding a chainsaw. On a room-service trolley, a vibrator sat on a dirty plate.

WNBA reverses Angel Reese suspension decision after Dream loss originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Angel Reese will be available for the Atlanta Dream's next game after the WNBA reversed a call that initially carried an automatic suspension. Reese was **** sed her eighth technical foul of the season during the fourth quarter of Atlanta's 101-83 loss to the Portland Fire on Friday. Under WNBA rules, that total would have resulted in a one-game suspension for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Lynx.
The league reviewed the play after the game and rescinded the technical foul, ESPN's Alexa Philippou reported on X. Reese was returned to seven technical fouls and avoided the suspension. The play occurred after Reese and Portland guard Carla Leite became tangled while battling for rebounding position. Reese appeared to push Leite as the two separated, prompting officials to issue the technical.
That decision did not survive the league's review.
Although Reese escaped an immediate punishment, she has little room for error over the remainder of the regular season. Her next technical foul would again be her eighth, automatically triggering a one-game suspension. Additional technicals later in the season could lead to further suspensions under the WNBA's escalating disciplinary system.

Como director Carlalberto Ludi admits advanced talks with Fiorentina for Moise Kean, but warns they are 'stalling' on Samuele Ricci from Milan. 'We're not sure yet.'
The director of sport spoke to Sky Sport Italia in the wake of the Champions League draw, the first in the club's history.
It will see them face the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Manchester United in the tournament, a remarkable achievement considering they were in Serie B just three years ago.

"Did somebody take her? Do they have her somewhere else? Is she alive?"
These are the questions that have haunted Dan Anderson in the nearly four decades since his younger sister, then 23-year-old Carla Anderson, vanished from her apartment in Wadena, Minnesota.
Memories of their childhood still flash into his mind like clockwork: the click of a camera as 9-year-old Carla held a spatula at the stove of their camper in Alaska, or the sound of her record player as she belted out "Delta Dawn" over and over in her room before her brothers pounded on her door asking her to turn it down.
And then the most troubling memory of them all — when Carla disappeared in November 1987, with a rented movie still in her VCR and the apartment door locked with her purse inside.
The Hardee's fry cook affectionately known as "spud" had just spent the night out with her mother and stepfather celebrating her being chosen employee of the month.
These are the questions that have haunted Dan Anderson in the nearly four decades since his younger sister, then 23-year-old Carla Anderson, vanished from her apartment in Wadena, Minnesota.
Memories of their childhood still flash into his mind like clockwork: the click of a camera as 9-year-old Carla held a spatula at the stove of their camper in Alaska, or the sound of her record player as she belted out "Delta Dawn" over and over in her room before her brothers pounded on her door asking her to turn it down.
And then the most troubling memory of them all — when Carla disappeared in November 1987, with a rented movie still in her VCR and the apartment door locked with her purse inside.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nneka Ogwumike had 20 points and a season-high 17 rebounds, Dearica Hamby added 22 points and 12 rebounds and the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Portland Fire 89-72 on Sunday to snap their three-game losing streak.
Ogwumike had her third consecutive double-double and fifth this season. Kelsey Plum finished with 16 points, seven ****** ists, five rebounds and three steals for the Sparks (5-6). Rae Burrell added 10 points.
Megan Gustafson had 16 points and a season-high 12 rebounds, her first double-double since 2023, for the Fire (6-7). Carla Leite and Emily Engstler added 10 points apiece.
Portland committed nine — which included six steals by LA — of its 15 turnovers and was 5-of-14 shooting as it was outscored 23-12 in the third, the Fire's lowest-scoring quarter this season. Plum had nine points and two ****** ists, while Hamby scored seven in the period to help the Sparks take a 64-55 lead into the fourth.
Plum stole the ball from Leite, then threw it ahead to Hamby for a fast-break layup that capped an 11-2 run and gave Los Angeles an 18-point lead with 6:07 to play.

Republic of Ireland striker Amber Barrett said the side "are going to give everything we have" in Tuesday's match against France when they have the chance to secure automatic qualification for the World Cup.
Barrett came off the bench in the 76th minute and scored the winner against the Netherlands in the closing stages of the match in Cork in front of a crowd of more than 12,000.
Now, Carla Ward's side have the opportunity to secure a spot in back-to-back World Cups when they travel to Grenoble to face France, who are top of the group.
Even if they draw or lose, they will have the fallback of a seeded play-off spot, but Barrett insists they are going out to get the job done on Tuesday.
"We do not have anything to lose," Barrett told RTE after the game.
