For the prestigious awards event, Nicole selected a breathtaking cream-colored column gown straight from Chanel. The sophisticated dress features an off-the-shoulder silhouette with a dramatic plunging V-neckline. Soft, white feather-like appliqués line the entire neckline and shoulders, adding rich texture and movement to the structured bodice. A tight, sculpted waist hugging her figure gives way to a sleek ankle-length skirt with a sharp thigh-high side slit that reveals her legs as she moves.
She contrasted the light cream gown with classic black pointed-toe pumps that grounded the soft color palette. 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. A slim black watch on her left wrist added a touch of modern sophistication.

Rockledge was eager to get back on the football field after a dispiriting loss to Eau Gallie on Sept. 11.
The Raiders hosted Class 6A Spruce Creek on Sept. 14 in a rescheduled game from Week 2 after weather forced the postponement of the game on Aug. 28.
Spruce Creek led 3-0 with 1:57 left in the first quarter, but a quarterback change on Rockledge's final offensive drive ignited a game-tying drive to force overtime.
The Hawks scored 2 plays into overtime. On Rockledge's first offensive snap of the extra period, the Raiders threw an interception resulting in a 10-3 defeat.
"We played hard, we played tough," Rockledge head coach John Holmes said. "Just too many penalties."

As we prepare some crucial showdown games in Week 5, let's tie a bow on Week 4 in our latest Touchdown/Chunk Play/First Down/Behind the Chains retrospective:
Touchdown
PURE BULLDAWG: We turn south to Las Cruces, and one of the most impressive wins so far among the Class 6A ranks this season, that being Las Cruces High's 41-0 beatdown of Hobbs.
The offensive sluggishness that defined the early portion of the season seems to be a thousand miles in the rear-view mirror after Las Cruces rolled into Hobbs and put the hammer down on the Eagles.
The transition period for Las Cruces clearly is over, and you can now see the Bulldawgs have gained their bearings in real time.

Could Tamin Lipsey return to Iowa State for another season of college basketball?
The standout point guard has joined a growing list of athletes who are suing the NCAA with hopes of gaining an additional fifth year of eligibility. Court documents indicate Lipsey may return to the Cyclones if given a chance.
Lipsey was among a batch of approximately 90 athletes who entered a class-action lawsuit filed in the state of Indiana against the NCAA. Across the country, many athletes in various sports are suing the NCAA in an effort to get a fifth year of eligibility.
In June, the NCAA Division I Cabinet unanimously approved a new five-year, age-based eligibility model, also known as the "five-for-five rule," which went into effect starting with the 2026-27 academic year. The new rule provides student-athletes across all sports with five years of eligibility over five seasons.
Under the new guidelines, each player's eligibility clock begins upon initial full-time college enrollment or at the beginning of the academic year following the athlete's 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. The "five-for-five rule" pertained to those enrolled in colleges for the 2026-27 school year. So those who concluded their collegiate careers in 2026, particularly high school athletes who graduated in 2022 and played four years of college without redshirting, were initially not included by the NCAA's new ruling.

Sep. 14—Gonzaga released its women's basketball nonconference schedule Monday for the 2026-27 season, and it shapes up as possibly the most challenging out-of-conference slate the Zags have had under coach Lisa Fortier.
Fortier begins her 13th season with a nonconference schedule that features six teams that finished in the top 100 of the NET last season with four teams earning NCAA Tournament berths.
Gonzaga's three most attractive nonconference dates are road games — at Stanford (Nov. 15), at Arizona State (Dec. 6) and a men's/women's multi-event doubleheader vs. Michigan State (Dec. 19), the Acrisure Challenge, in Palm Desert, California.
Eight of 15 nonconference games are at McCarthey Athletic Center. Gonzaga was going to have a 16th nonconference game — the maximum allowed with 16 conference games — but a third opponent in the North Shore Classic in Hawaii — Gonzaga's holiday tournament this year — pulled out last minute.
Whether Gonzaga lands a one-off additional nonconference game remains to be seen.

Brian Ortega has pulled out of his scheduled UFC 331 bout against Renato Moicano with an injury.
'T-City' has endured harship in recent years. The 35-year-old has only managed five fights in the last five years, averaging one per year. But it isn't just his activity that has been slacking. His last win came in early 2024, which is his lone victory in five. Now out of the rankings and looking to move up a division, Ortega needed a stroke of good luck to come his way. That hasn't happened; in fact, bad luck seems to be looming overhead.
After falling out of the fight due to injury in March, Brian Ortega hoped a rescheduled clash against Renato Moicano would go smoothly. But just days ahead of his proposed appearance at UFC 331, injury strikes again.
While classified as an undisclosed injury, a picture has surfaced online that potentially shows the true cause. An image of Ortega with a significant cut and swelling above his left eye has been
With days to prepare for an opponent, Renato Moicano has been removed from the Los Angeles card entirely.

Leeds United made it four unbeaten to start the Premier League campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Newcastle United under the lights at Elland Road.
Riding the momentum and scoring three first half goals, Noah Okafor added to the tally in the second period to shoot the Whites up to third in the top-flight standings.
After the game, Daniel Farke said: "On rare occasions even for a manager, it is a joy to watch a football game, and especially his team playing. But this was one of those rare occasions so I also enjoyed my team playing tonight.
"It was an excellent performance, really, from the first to nearly the last second, and also sadly not a clean sheet in the end. But overall, a top-class performance and I am proud of my boys.
"We wanted to press Newcastle and wanted to dominate this game. But on the other hand, you also have to be aware how much pace they have up front.

Sue Bird took center stage in Apple TV's recently-released three-part docuseries on the history of UConn women's basketball, which focused its second episode on the program's bitter, longstanding rivalry with Pat Summit's Tennessee.
Bird starred for Geno Auriemma from 1998 to 2002, a stretch that included two Final Four matchups with the Volunteers and served as the apex of tensions between the two programs. The Hall of Famer praised the Apple TV production for a nostalgic look back at her legendary run with the program and for spotlighting the themes that have defined Auriemma's four decades leading UConn.
"I finally got a chance to check out 'The Dynasty: UConn Huskies,' the doc that was on Apple TV," Bird said on her "Bird's Eye View" podcast Monday. "And listen, I loved it. I think we can all agree, right from the jump, that it is so well done. It is a wonderful documentary."
"There were certain players or certain eras touched on more, but I think what has always united us as players, whether you played together or not, was that we all had very similar experiences. The journey might have been different, but the arc was really, really similar. So, you definitely got a sense of what it was like to play at the University of Connecticut."
As one of the most recognizable stars from UConn's turn-of-the-century teams, Sue Bird was closely involved with the production in the documentary. The star point guard provided perspective on UConn's rivalry with Tennessee, ranging from humbling regular-season losses as an underclassman to a memorable 23-point drubbing in the 2002 Final Four, while also reflecting on getting busted at a bar with her Huskies teammates and an Auriemma mental breakdown that led him to hide under the Gampel Pavilion bleachers.

Sept 14 (Reuters) - Hollywood designer Bob Mackie, known for making stars such as Cher and ‌Elton John sparkle, died on Monday at ‌87, according to a post on his official Instagram account.
His career spanned five decades and included designing a Barbie doll clothes collection.
Born in 1939 into a middle-class family in Monterey Park, California, he was nominated for ‌more than 30 ⁠Emmys, winning nine. He received Academy Award nominations for costumes worn in ⁠the films "Lady Sings the Blues," "Funny Lady," and "Pennies From Heaven."
"His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world," his ‌team said in an Instagram post. His cause of death was not stated.
Mackie was known for sequins, rhinestones and glitter, but also humor. The highlight of his 11-year run for The Carol ‌Burnett Show was the "curtain dress" worn by Burnett in a sketch parodying 1939 film classic "Gone with the Wind." ‌The costume, now in the collection of the Smithsonian's American History Museum, included a brass curtain rod balanced on Burnett's shoulders and a bit ‌of valance worn as a hat.

NEW YORK – If there's anyone who knows how to command a room, it's Nene Leakes.
The "Real Housewives" OG brought a little Atlanta to New York Fashion Week, attending Sergio Hudson's spring/summer 2027 show on Sunday, Sept. 13. Hudson brought the glamour to NYFW, hosting his show at one of New York's most iconic venues — the Rainbow Room.
Guests including Mickey Guyton, Muni Long and Sunny Hostin ventured to top of Rockefeller Center for Hudson, but it was Leakes who stole the show. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star entered the glittering ballroom moments before the first model took to the runway, but that didn't stop a swarm of photographers and fans from trying to get a snap of the Bravo star. Leakes took her seat next to "Beauty in Black" actress Crystle Stewart as the two posed for front-row photos.
Leakes showed off a classic Hudson creation, donning a bodycon little black dress from the designer's fall-winter '24 collection. The sleeveless LBD featured an extra-long gold zipper extending from the neckline to the hem. The reality star styled the look with black patent pumps and a gold-embellished clutch.
"Me and Nene go way back … When I met her, I was a little ****** ody, and she always treated me really well, so I take care of her, 'cause she always took care of me," Hudson told USA TODAY backstage after his show. "She's a superstar."

Josh Hokit wasted no time making his case for UFC gold after Tom Aspinall vacated the heavyweight ******* le Monday.
Aspinall relinquished his championship after suffering yet another setback in his ongoing recovery from the eye injuries he sustained against Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 last October. The move clears the way for the UFC heavyweight division to resume it's usual activity; Gane defeated Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250 in June to claim an interim ******* le, and will likely be formally upgraded to undisputed heavyweight champion in short order.
And Hokit wants the first crack.
"The fans deserve Me vs Gane. I'll give Ciryl what he has coming. If Alex can win 1 fight in my weight class, I'll give it to him too, early '27. I'll be the most active champ in the company."
Pereira has continued to campaign for an immediate rematch with Gane in the months since UFC Freedom 250, accusing the Frenchmen of using illegal strikes to the back of the head to defeat him in their battle on the White House's South Lawn. Hokit, though, has repeatedly dismissed the former two-division UFC champion, arguing that Pereira should have to earn his way back after being stopped by Gane in less than two rounds.

The Justice Department's push to pursue a sweeping conspiracy probe into former officials behind investigations targeting President Donald Trump has descended into turmoil and possibly new delays following the abrupt resignation of the top prosecutor overseeing the probe.
Joe diGenova, the Washington lawyer and former top prosecutor leading the South Florida-based investigation, resigned a day after a tense phone call Wednesday with Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to two people familiar with the matter. The final clash centered on diGenova's effort to block lawyers dispatched by Justice Department headquarters from ***** isting the probe, following broader disagreements with top Justice officials over its pace.
Among the disputes that added to tensions between diGenova and his bosses in Washington was diGenova's request for a high-security room known as a SCIF to be built at the Fort Pierce office, to make it easier for the prosecution team to store highly classified materials, two people familiar with the investigation told CNN. The team worked in an office with a special room where sensitive, but not the highest-classified, evidence could be handled. Justice Department officials told diGenova he and his team should use a SCIF at an FBI office miles away, two people familiar with the investigation told CNN.
DiGenova also pressed for more lawyers for his team. Justice officials pushed back on any claims that he was denied resources, according to two people familiar with the investigation.
For more than a year, Justice Department officials have pushed to bring criminal charges against former CIA director John Brennan, who is accused of making false statements to Congress and has been the subject of the president's ire for years. Since diGenova joined the probe in April, he's chosen to pursue a broader set of charges against several of Trump's political critics — including Brennan — who were involved in investigations of him over the past decade.

Rookies from across the NFL made their debuts in Week 1 of the regular season. One Houston Texans legend, made his debut in a very different lead role.
J.J. Watt, who finished No. 1 in Chron's Top 25 Texans Ranking and current CBS Sports ******* yst, took the No. 1 color commentator role alongside CBS play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz for Sunday's tilt between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. Watt replaced Tony Romo, of Dallas Cowboys fame, in the top spot after the former quarterback went on indefinite leave following his arrest on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Wisconsin earlier this summer.
Nantz warmly welcomed Watt to the broadcast during the CBS pregame show "NFL Today," and studio host James Brown was collegial in acknowledging the new duo.
"Jim Nantz and J.J. Watt … that rolls right off your tongue," Brown said. "What do you have?"
Nantz, a legendary University of Houston alum, replied with his classic, "Hello, friend," and began pontificating about the Texans-Bills matchup before turning to his left towards Watt and stating he was excited about "being with this guy."

The stars played a big part in getting them there. T.J. Watt returned a fourth-quarter interception for a touchdown to provide the game-winning points. Veteran receiver Michael Pittman Jr. – the headliner of the team's 2026 free agent class – caught three passes for 58 yards. And Alex Highsmith knifed through Atlanta blockers to record two sacks of his own.

The Iowa State men's basketball team's trip to the Phog in March 2027 is going to get an even bigger spotlight.
The Cyclones are slated to make one appearance on ESPN's "Big Monday" during the upcoming season, when they go on the road to Phog Allen Fieldhouse to face the Kansas Jayhawks on March 1, 2027. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. CT in Lawrence.
ESPN started its "Big Monday" showcase in 1987. This season, beginning Feb. 1, 2027, ESPN will highlight some of the top matchups in the ACC and Big 12 through the final Monday of the regular season. The Iowa State-Kansas game at Allen Fieldhouse will round out the "Big Monday" slate for the 2026-27 season.
Last season, the Cyclones and Jayhawks split the regular-season series. Kansas won the first meeting at Allen Fieldhouse, 84-63, on Jan. 13. The Cyclones comfortably evened the series with a 74-56 victory on Feb. 14 at Hilton Coliseum.
Kansas is coming off of a 24-11 season. It lost on a buzzer-beater in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to St. John's. The Jayhawks reloaded through the transfer portal and secured the No. 1 overall high school recruit. Freshman 6-foot-7 wing Tyran Stokes was the consensus top recruit for the 2026 class and he's already on the top of several 2027 NBA mock drafts.

2027 NFL Draft QB rankings: Darian Mensah, Drew Mestemaker on the rise appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The 2027 NFL Draft class was talked up to be loaded with quarterbacks, which was much-needed for many NFL teams coming off of what many claimed was a one-QB class in 2026. Before the college football season, this was billed as one of the most talented QB classes in recent memory.
So far, that hasn't necessarily played out on the field. Dante Moore, our No. 1 quarterback on the board in the preseason, has looked awful, to put it bluntly. Arch Manning and Julian Sayin were up-and-down in their blockbuster Week 2 clash between Ohio State and Texas.
On the other side of the coin, Darian Mensah and Trinidad Chambliss have been very impressive so far in the opening few weeks, and CJ Carr has also played very well against a soft schedule to open the year.
