Gypsy Rose Blanchard had a clear vision for another trip down the aisle: a big wedding, a poofy dress, and her family there to celebrate. Months before Ken Urker's death, Blanchard opened up about the wedding she hoped to have with him after their years of separation and eventual reunion. Having married her first husband inside a prison visitation room, she wanted a very different experience the next time around. Urker was found dead at a Louisiana residence on October 1, his 34th birthday. Authorities have said the investigation into his death remains ongoing.

During a May interview with TMZ, Blanchard discussed her hopes for a future wedding with Urker. "I don't want to have a quick wedding, I want to have the big wedding," she said.
Blanchard wanted the dress and the chance to gather her loved ones for the occasion. She also recalled where her first marriage began, explaining why she wanted a larger celebration. "I want to have the poofy dress, I want to have the family there, because my first marriage, I got married in the visitation room by the bathroom of a prison," Blanchard continued at the time. "I deserve my wedding."

Léa Seydoux has turned her relationship with Louis Vuitton into one of the most recognizable partnerships on the red carpet. The French actress became an ambassador for the fashion house in 2016, and its designs have accompanied her to film festivals, premieres and major awards ceremonies ever since. Her wardrobe can move from sharp tailoring to elaborate crystal covered gowns without losing its distinctive character. Classic French elegance remains at the center, but unexpected shapes, textures and details keep the looks contemporary. Over the years, Seydoux has shown just how versatile a long term relationship between an actress and a fashion house can become.
At the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, Seydoux demonstrated that versatility through several contrasting looks. For the premiere of Under the Silver Lake, she selected an off the shoulder Louis Vuitton column gown featuring a bold geometric pattern. At the screening of Girls of the Sun, she wore another fitted design with a high slit and dramatic neckline. That appearance carried additional significance as Seydoux joined dozens of women on the Cannes steps in a demonstration calling attention to gender inequality within the film industry.
Returning to Cannes in 2019 for Oh Mercy!, Seydoux moved away from the traditional evening gown. Tailored blue trousers, a fitted printed top and a defined waist created a polished alternative to conventional premiere dressing. Red lipstick and Chopard jewelry completed a look that felt sophisticated without relying on elaborate volume.
Her formalwear became increasingly dramatic at subsequent events. At the 2020 Academy Awards, Seydoux appeared in a sculptural white Louis Vuitton gown with a plunging neckline and heavily pleated skirt. For the Vanity Fair celebration afterward, she changed into a flowing red dress. At the 2021 premiere of No Time to Die, she embraced even greater spectacle in a shimmering silver Louis Vuitton cape gown covered with crystals.
The 2022 BAFTA Awards produced another intricate creation. Seydoux wore a strapless black velvet Louis Vuitton gown with a sparkling embellished skirt, continuing her preference for silhouettes that combine simple lines with labor intensive detailing.

In December 2025, about a month before the U.S. invaded Venezuela and captured its president, Nicolás Maduro, President Trump had a secret meeting with Elon Musk, Time magazine reports. This was roughly seven months after Musk left his role in the Trump administration at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
During this meeting, Trump "spent hours" talking to Musk's Grok chatbot, including asking how Venezuelans would respond to the capture of their president, a source told Time. Just a few months earlier, in September, Trump began ordering U.S. military strikes against Venezuelan boats that Trump alleged were involved in drug trafficking.
People had apparently been turning to Grok asking about the boat strikes and political climate in Venezuela, as The Atlantic reported at the time. So Grok told Trump that Maduro was a "deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall," Time reported.
When such celebrations indeed happened after the U.S. invaded on January 3, Trump apparently "came away thinking Grok was ingenious," that source told Time.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that in June of this year, the Pentagon's head of AI said that the military used Grok Gov to deploy and strike targets during the Iran War.

There's no denying that Hailey Bieber's sartorial agenda is infused with 90s style codes. Beyond reinterpreting the decade's classic silhouettes, she frequently dives into the fashion archives to resurrect genuine vintage gems.
For a party at the private Harry's Bar in Mayfair, London, on September 28, Hailey slipped into a Cerruti by Narciso Rodriguez spring/summer 1997 dress sourced from My Runway Archive. The champagne-hued midi dress is adorned with crystal embellishments and features a bias-cut with a plunging neckline, sleeveless design, and a figure-hugging silhouette.
The garment is the same dress that Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wore to her wedding rehearsal dinner in 1996. Carolyn first met the designer in 1990, when they worked together at Calvin Klein, and soon after enlisted Narciso to craft her wedding dress. The pearlescent silk crepe wedding gown was worn on September 21, 1996, when Carolyn married John F. Kennedy Jr.

The celebration was held at the Greyfield Inn on ***** berland Island, Georgia. Carolyn's blonde locks were swept back into a simple bun.

Nicole accessorized her high-fashion look with statement diamond jewelry that caught the studio lighting. As captured in a viral studio video shared on an Instagram post, she showed off multiple large diamond rings across her fingers along with matching drop earrings.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers marked their record-tying 14th consecutive trip to MLB's postseason with a toast of bubbly after Monday night's 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
The bigger celebrations will come later.
"It's hard to say it ever feels routine, but it is the expectation here," third baseman Max Muncy said. "I always laugh whenever we clinch a postseason spot, we just do a nice little toast. The guys that haven't been here, they kind of see that and they expect a little bit more. That happens when you clinch the division."
The two-time defending World Series champions, who joined Milwaukee and Tampa Bay as teams who have secured playoff spots, cut their magic number to three for a fifth straight NL West ****** le and 13th in 14 seasons.
Los Angeles tied the Atlanta Braves' postseason run from 1991 through 2005. The Braves made five World Series trips during that span, but won only in 1995.

A Southern California high school has suspended its varsity football team, and will forfeit its next matchup, for unsportsmanlike actions in a heated rivalry game that also saw the school's mascot flipping off the opposing crowd.
Victor Valley High School defeated Apple Valley 20-7 on Friday in the 56th edition of the annual rivalry game known as the Bell Game. The winning side not only gets bragging rights but also possession of the rivalry trophy, a large bell that is currently painted green to match the school's colors. However, Victor Valley's celebrations, and the antics of their jackrabbit mascot, crossed a line, according to district officials. Victor Valley Union High School District Superintendent Carl Coles and Victor Valley Principal Darius Robinson released joint a statement announcing the team would be suspended as a result.
"There is a clear line between passionate competition and unacceptable conduct," the statement read. "That line was crossed at the Bell Game on Friday, September 11. Members of the Victor Valley High School football team behaved in an unsportsmanlike manner toward the opposing team and its fans, including offensive gestures and language."
With the suspension, Victor Valley will forfeit its upcoming game against Brea Olinda.
While the district's letter did not specify the actions and gestures made that warranted this punishment - the letter also didn't identify offending players - videos circulating on social media seem to provide some insight into what led to the decision. For one thing, the Jackrabbits mascot gave the middle finger to the Sun Devil crowd early on in the game as it walked down the track surrounding the field on Apple Valley's side of the stadium.

Tom Holland and Zendaya are reportedly planning to install a climate-controlled room in one of their several properties to preserve her more than $269,000 wedding gown.
Holland, 30, and Zendaya, 30, said "I do" during an intimate wedding celebration at the Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey, just outside London, on Aug. 4.
The actress marked the occasion by donning a stunning lace Schiaparelli gown featuring long sleeves and a high neckline.
Now, Zendaya is reportedly taking extraordinary measures to ensure the sentimental garment—which has never been pictured or seen publicly—is carefully preserved for years to come.
Sources told The Sun that the actress wants to keep the gown close by rather than entrusting it to an outside storage company. The dress reportedly needs to be stored at a temperature between 59 and 64 degrees.

SAN MARCOS - Texas State football coach GJ Kinne said Saturday's 31-26 loss to UTSA was one of the weirdest games he's ever experienced.
The Bobcats (0-2) outgained the Roadrunners (2-0) offense by 83 yards. The Texas State running backs averaged 7.15 yards per carry on 35 attempts. UTSA was 3-of-15 on third down; Texas State was 9-of-17. UTSA quarterback Owen McCown faced pressure from Texas State's defensive line all afternoon.

And yet, the Bobcats were the team desperately tossing laterals across the field when the clock hit zero, hoping for a miracle play. UTSA stormed the field afterward, whooping and hollering in celebration. For the first time in the rivalry, Texas State was the program defending its status. UTSA clearly had a chip on its shoulder that its San Marcos neighbours used to have. After the game, Kinne treated the loss like any other.
"We can't let this one define us," Kinne said. "It's not the end-all, be-all."

Lil Durk remains in jail despite his Friday acquittal.
On 11 September, a Los Angeles federal jury found the rapper, whose real name is Durk Banks, not guilty of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot that resulted in the death of a man in Los Angeles four years ago.
Prosecutors have confirmed he will remain in custody until his racketeering case, tied to the 2022 shooting death of Stephon Mack, is also resolved. That second trial on racketeering murder and firearms charges is scheduled for 5 October.
Longtime nemesis and fellow rapper 6ix9ine found a way to throw shade at Durk despite Chicago rapper's win in court.
6ix9ine had planned to throw a 'Lil Durk Going Away Party' in the event of a guilty verdict, and still held a celebration of sorts.
Posting a video on Instagram of him letting off fireworks and popping champagne, he reacted to the decision while mocking Durk about his deceased brother, Dontay 'DThang' Banks, and rapper King Von, who was signed to Durk's label, Only the Family.

After an epic 11-inning win Friday night against the Phillies, the Braves were hoping to finish them off in the division race. They got a bit of a boost from the Phillies scratching Jesus Luzardo with long-running shoulder soreness.
Tyler Mahle cruised through the first two hitters before Bryce Harper hit a monster homer and took a comical amount of time rounding the bases, clearly hitting back at the controversy from Zach Wheeler's comments about Ronald Acuna's home run celebrations last week. The Phillies had to be feeling good with a 1-0 lead for a couple innings there, until the Braves essentially ended the game with 8 runs in the fourth inning. Ronald Acuna kicked things off with a towering homer (and a normal home run trot).
La Bestia mode activated 🔥#LocalFordDealer | ronaldacunajr24 pic.twitter.com/blKPAhoG0w
The Braves then got a walk, single, single, single, error, wild pitch, walk, double, and single to score another 7 runs. Drake Baldwin provided the double before things got all the way back around to Acuna for the last single, bringing home the last run of the inning.
Mahle continued to cruise after that Harper homer, finishing 7.0 innings of 1-run ball with no walks, even though he only had 7 whiffs and 3 strikeouts. The Braves added another run on in the sixth with a Ronald ABS strikeout-turned-walk, an error on an Olson ground ball, and an Ozzie sac fly. The Phillies got one back with a solo homer from Crawford in the eighth against Brent Suter. The Braves got another 3 runs against the position-player pitcher for Philly in the eighth, as Kiersey singled, Albies doubled, and Harris hit a homer off the right field foul pole. Suter finished off the Phillies in the ninth, as the Braves only needed to throw Mahle and Suter on the night. The Phillies' bullpen is in rough shape on the other side, after the 11-inning game Friday and the blowout bullpen game they suffered today.
