Spooky season is here, which means Kings Island's Halloween Haunt is in full swing, and a famous Cincinnati native stopped by for all the thrills and chills.
Nick Lachey, the 98 Degrees boy band member and "Love Is Blind" host, shared the family outing to Kings Island in an Oct. 6 Instagram post. Lachey, along with his three children and wife Vanessa, with whom he co-hosts "Love Is Blind," posed in front of one of the park's most beloved (or hated) rides, depending on whom you ask: The Beast.
"Beast Mode activated! Kicked off Fall at Kings Island. Kids loved riding The Beast, the longest wooden rollercoaster in the world! Kings Island … you still got it!" he wrote.
Lachey's recent Kings Island visit was a full-circle moment as the singer, who attended the School for Creative & Performing Arts in Over-the-Rhine, also worked at Kings Island as a teenager. The 98 Degrees member was in a barbershop quartet.
"I started off singing a cappella barbershop music, walking around the park and singing to guests," Lachey said in a 2013 interview, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Lori Loughlin's post-divorce life is shaping up in a way she didn't see coming!
The "Full House" star is embracing a more adventurous chapter after ending her nearly three-decade marriage to Mossimo Giannulli. Now, she is stepping outside her comfort zone and approaching life differently.
Lori Loughlin, best known for playing Aunt Becky on "Full House," spent nearly 28 years married to fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli before their separation and eventual divorce. The former couple, who share daughters Bella and Olivia Jade, had lived separately for months before Loughlin filed for divorce in September 2026, closing a major chapter of her life.

Loughlin never expected a roller coaster ride to become a lesson in how she wanted to live her life. But during a recent trip to Disney World with her "Full House" co-stars, John Stamos refused to let her stay in her comfort zone.

The actress sits down with theGrio ahead of "The Social Reckoning" hitting theaters to discuss her role and the merits of social media.
If you only knew actress Wunmi Mosaku from her social media content, you'd probably gather that her life is just one glamorous cover shoot, followed by one star-studded red carpet appearance after another—but she'd be the first to tell you that isn't the truth.
"I'm always like, be true to yourself, be true to yourself… But I only show one side of myself on social media, the side of myself that's working, and that is it," she admitted to theGrio over Zoom on Sunday, when, in actuality, according to the actress, there's so much more to her story.
Besides the balancing act of being a mom of two and a professional actress, she revealed that life is not always so picture perfect; quite a lot of her career as a performer involves being unemployed and grappling with the anxiety of not knowing when you'll work next.
"I never show that side of it," she confessed. "I just show the sides where I'm at work, where I have hair and makeup done. Like that is literally all I ever show, and I never show the full truth of being an actor, and it is a roller coaster, and I don't show the truth of being a mom. I don't show the truth of being a Brit in America, a Black Brit, a Nigerian in Britain."

AL executive reveals why Phillies are serious World Series contenders originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Philadelphia Phillies have had a bit of a roller coaster of a 2026 season. It's been hard to get a real gauge for what this team really is. Are they a real contender, or are they an inconsistent team that cannot be trusted when it matters most?
Both sides have strong arguments, but in the eyes of one American League executive, there are five strong reasons why the Phillies are legitimate ***** le contenders this season.
Jesse Rogers of ESPN shared the comment from an AL executive on the Phillies, who highlighted five players as reasons why the Phillies can contend for a ***** le this season.
"I know how good the Dodgers and Brewers are, but I'm not betting against [Cristopher] Sanchez, [Zack] Wheeler and [Jesus] Luzardo -- not to mention Bryce [Harper] and [Kyle] Schwarber," this anonymous AL executive told Rogers.

It has been a rollercoaster year for the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, the name given to tech ******* ans Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Tesla, and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). Of the group, only Meta and Tesla are in the red for the year, down 1.2% and 18.8%, respectively, through market close on Sept. 10.
Both have their fair share of issues, but Meta is a struggling stock that seems to have plenty of upside from its current level. And if history is any indication of what's possible, you may regret not investing while it's having an off year.

No single issue is dragging down Meta's stock; it's a combination of factors, with the two main ones being its AI spending and its ongoing regulatory issues.
This year, Meta is slated to spend between $130 billion and $145 billion on AI-related projects, such as building data centers and other infrastructure. In the second quarter (Q2), it spent $31 billion, which, for perspective, is more than all but 26 public companies have made in profits in their past four quarters combined.

Well. Another pathetic showing from a St. Louis Cardinals bullpen resulted in a series sweep against a mediocre opponent. This team has constantly shown it plays to the level of their competition, but the series against the Giants went too far.
After winning five of their last six series on the road, including taking the season series against the Dodgers, the Cardinals had momentum against the miserable Giants only to see the season pretty much come to an end in San Francisco. To get over the emotions this three-game set made me feel, I dusted off the podcast equipment and finally recorded a new episode of Cardinals on My Time.
Joining me on the episode was returning guest Matt Blaker, and nothing against Matt, but I was pumped to have Tanner Larkins joining the pod as well. Chances are, you have no idea who that is and I just came across his profile earlier this week. Tanner is the front man for a band called Bayview Lane and his two singles instantly caught my attention. Add on the fact he was rocking a Cardinals hat in his videos while being from the Chicago area like me, he was the perfect guest to have on with Matt and me.
In the episode, we talked about the rollercoaster ride of the season, roster management, but also focused on the future. To me, the most frustrating point of this season was the roster management, be it playing short-handed through injuries or with a seemingly always "taxed" bullpen. The bullpen conversation was made worse after this series, but the problems revert all the way back to the offseason despite the early season success and breakout of certain guys.
One thing we talked about was that this bullpen creation, or lack thereof, was done intentionally. That is one of the more upsetting things to me (and keep your "this is a rebuild" comments to yourself) because this was a clear hole all year. Of course, bullpens are a ***** shoot every year, but you're telling me adding another one or two higher profile relievers would prevent the rebuild from happening? Worst case scenario, you pull the plug on those arms in a season that doesn't matter, middle case, you flip them at the deadline, best case, you're actually competing for a playoff spot instead of blowing 37 leads.

Mike Norvell's tenure as Florida State football's head coach has been nothing short of a roller coaster.
The Seminoles have gone 39-35 in seven seasons under Norvell and are currently in a multi-season stretch in which the program is 8-18. That run includes a 2-10 season in 2024 and a 5-7 season in 2025. A far cry from the heights of 2023 when FSU went 13-0 in the regular season and won the ACC ****** le before being snubbed from the College Football Playoff.
It's altered the trajectory of Norvell's career, who was once considered to replace Nick Saban at Alabama following his retirement and was widley considered one of the sports best young coaches. The now 44-year-old sits on arguably the hottest seat in the country and is fresh off a 27-24 loss to No. 19 SMU, where he and his team were routinely greeted with boo's from fans at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Sitting at 1-1, FSU faces a stretch of games that will see the program visit the Crimson Tide before games against Virginia, Louisville and Miami in October.
The road doesn't get easier for Norvell, so if the Seminoles elect to part ways with the embattled head coach, here's what it'll cost.

Every baseball fan is familiar with the scam known as the shell game— after all, it's present, in more innocuous form, in the cap shuffle ubiquitous to scoreboards. Tonight Zack Wheeler offered the visiting Braves a shell game, tempting them with three baserunners through three at-bats… but when the Braves selected their shell, there weren't very many runs underneath.
The start was rather subpar for the home crowd, with Wheeler allowing a pair of singles to the first two Braves, then walking Matt Olson to load the bases with none away. But a pop fly and a strikeout (aided by a canny ABS challenge from J.T. Realmuto) put him just a single out away from pulling off the great escape. Ozzie Albies flew out to center, and the Braves trudged back to the dugout with the dreaded ****** LETIGER (No Outs, Bases Loaded, Ending in Team Incapable of Getting Easy Runs, it's a real term) nipping at their heels.
But the Phillies would give Atlanta starter Martin Pérez a rougher start. Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner worked walks to start off the game, with the former dashing for third on a fly out from Bryce Harper, and slipping right past the tag. A single to right from Luis Arraez scored him, and the bases were then loaded on a walk of Alec Bohm. Realmuto walked to bring in a run (an ABS challenge on ball four proved fruitless for the visitors). The inning ended when Ronald Acuña Jr, looking truly superb, leapt into the air to turn a line drive from Bryson Stott into out number three.
Wheeler's second inning of work was a far smoother affair, with three up and three down. Pérez could not say the same. Derek Hill lined a ball to right, and Acuña suddenly looked far less superb, stumbling and allowing Hill to reach third. He then scored when Matt Olson bobbled a grounder at first.
The roller coaster ride that is Ronald then took another sudden swerve in the top of the third as he sent a Wheeler sweeper deep, deep into the left field seats. But the Phillies were certainly not inclined to let themselves be outslugged in their own ballpark: in the bottom of the fourth, Schwarber knocked a Pérez pitch over the fence in right. Two more hits, both with two outs, ensued, and Pérez's night ended.

A.J. Hinch is not waving the white flag.
What exactly is he supposed to do?
The Detroit Tigers enter a four-game series against the Cleveland Guardians with their postseason hopes hanging by a thread. Detroit is 64-75 and sits 5½ games behind Cleveland for the final American League Wild Card spot with only a few weeks remaining.
Yet Hinch continues to insist his team will fight until the math says otherwise.
"This has been a really hard stretch and very much a roller-coaster season. I know in the big scheme of things, there is a lot of frustration around this team, but we're not going to quit."

The New York Yankees called up shortstop George Lombard Jr. last month as he officially made his long-awaited debut on August 4 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Since then, Lombard has had a roller-coaster month. He started off strong, dazzling with the glove and the bat, but started to falter as August came to a close.
The 21-year-old has already committed seven errors on the season and now owns a .253 batting average, .310 on-base percentage and .677 OPS across his first 79 big-league at-bats. Regardless, that is too small of a sample size to judge the former first-round pick and top Yankees prospect.

Unfortunately, Lombard has missed three straight games due to right knee discomfort. He suffered the injury last Saturday during a game against the Boston Red Sox, causing him to leave early and he has not played since.

The family of a 6-year-old New Jersey girl who died after a badminton racket came apart and pierced her skull during a Maine vacation is suing the Massachusetts-based maker of the sports equipment.
"This case represents a parent's worst nightmare," attorney Charles P. Hehmeyer, who is representing the family, said. "The Morgan family was enjoying an idyllic summer vacation here in Maine when they lost Lucy due to what we allege was a dangerous and defective piece of sports equipment."
The wrongful death and product-liability lawsuit alleges Franklin Sports sold a defective and unreasonably dangerous badminton racket that failed during normal use and turned its metal shaft into a projectile.
Lucy Morgan was vacationing with her parents and siblings in Limerick, Maine, on June 1, 2024, when the tragedy unfolded.

Florida State football commenced the 2026 season with a home opener at Doak S. Campbell Stadium against the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday, Aug. 29., where the Seminoles defeated the Aggies 34-17 in a roller coaster of a performance.
FSU started the game on defense after losing the coin toss. Despite the Aggies gaining some ground early on, the defense held strong. The crowd erupted after senior defensive back Quindarrius Jones intercepted a throw in the end zone to put the 'Noles on offense.
Following the turnover, the Garnet and Gold, led by fifth year quarterback Ashton Daniels, engineered a strong drive that brought them into the red zone. However, after Daniels was sacked on third and goal, Florida State was forced to settle for a field goal from senior kicker Gabe Panikowski to take an early 3-0 lead.
Later on in the first quarter, a screen pass from Daniels to senior running back Samuel Singleton Jr. set the Seminoles up inside the New Mexico State 10-yard line once again.
On third down, Daniels scored his first touchdown of the season as he evaded the blitz to give FSU a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter. However, New Mexico State bounced back with a touchdown of their own as New Mexico State junior quarterback Trey Hedden connected with senior receiver Brodie Malone-Bradford to cut the Aggies' deficit to three.

Daytona was roller coaster of a night for Shane van Gisbergen, and it ended in disappointment for the No. 97 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet.
He watched Ryan Preece, Chris Buescher, and Kyle Larson all crash in front of him early in the running, clearing the way for SVG to earn his first-ever oval stage win and secure ten points.
However, Preece pulled off a remarkable save and suffered minimal damage. Even while sliding, he crossed the line in eighth and scored three points. He added another nine in Stage 2, bringing his total to 12.
Van Gisbergen spent the final stint of the race knowing that he had a 29-point cushion, which meant that Preece would have to beat Van Gisbergen by at least 30 positions on track (as SVG would win the tiebreaker) to make the Chase ... unless he won the race.
In a situation where Preece -- who entered Saturday's race 0-248 in Cup wins -- captured the checkered flag, Van Gisbergen couldn't afford to finish any worse than 11th.

During the August 24 episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer pointed to the sharp reversal in AEVEX Corp. (NYSE:AVEX) stock as he said:
What the heck happened to a stock we really like, AEVEX? I mean, here's a company that makes drones for the military, the single hottest part of the defense sector yet, its stock's been [on] a, let's call it, a roller coaster. AEVEX came public at $20 back in April, jumped nearly 35% the first day of trading, ultimately running as high as $42 and change a few days later. Now, though, it's fallen through the offer price, coming down to $18. I can't find out why.
Some of it's because AEVEX reported earlier this month, and Wall Street, I guess, didn't like the numbers. Stock got slammed. Didn't matter that it was a huge revenue beat. The earnings and backlog both came in weaker than expected, but not that much. Still, I think demand remains strong. They keep winning a lot of new business. At the same time, AEVEX is trying to buy BlackSea Technologies for as much as $650 million in stock and cash, which is a lot of money when you're a $2 billion company. This would give them exposure to unmanned ships and submarines, which they could tie into their drone software system.
AEVEX Corp. (NYSE:AVEX) reported $201.8 million of revenue for the second quarter, up 99.5% from $101.1 million a year earlier. Net income improved to $6.7 million from a loss of $11.8 million, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $28.1 million from $3.6 million. Most of the growth came from AEVEX's tactical systems business. Revenue in the segment increased to $174.2 million, up 141.6% year over year, driven by higher UAS product and support revenue.
AEVEX Corp. (NYSE:AVEX) ended the second quarter with $259.8 million of funded backlog, down from $503.1 million at the end of 2025. That represents a decline of roughly 48%. The company said the $243.3 million decline was primarily due to revenue recognized from the EUCOM AOR Deep Strike program. The company also said the balance was affected by an increase in shorter-cycle customer orders. AEVEX continued to secure new business during the quarter, including contracts for UAS and engineering services, mission-support capabilities, and advanced unmanned mission capabilities.

Olivia Munn has a lot going on. The star of Apple TV's "Your Friends & Neighbors" is busy filming the series' third season while parenting her two children, Malcom and Méi, with her husband, John Mulaney, and serving as the new face of Anne Klein's fall-winter 2026 campaign. All of this while getting ready for fashion month and the upcoming 2026 Emmy Awards ceremony.
But Munn is a master of finding beauty in the chaos. Especially after a roller coaster last few years, in which the actress battled back-to-back health issues. Following the birth of her son in 2021, Munn's battled the depths of postpartum anxiety.
Then, in April 2023, the actress was diagnosed with "an aggressive, fast-moving" Luminal B breast cancer in both ****** . Having detected the cancer early, she acted quickly, and by the following year, Munn had five successful surgeries, including a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, and a partial hysterectomy. Then, in September 2024, she welcomed her daughter via surrogate.
Now, with the dust of the last few years settling, Munn is recentering her focus on what brings her happiness, such as going back to work, hanging out with her close girlfriends, date nights with her husband, and all things fashion. And even better yet, advocacy through fashion.
"Women change women's lives," Munn tells USA Today of her partnership with Anne Klein. The famed American designer herself died at the age of 50 from breast cancer in 1974. "Sometimes the most important thing you can do is remind another woman to take that next step with their health. Those are the meaningful connections that sometimes really can lift you out of your fog."

Heather Watson and Harriet Dart will go head-to-head for a place in the US Open main draw as six British players made it through to the third and final qualifying round in New York.
Watson kept alive her hopes of a first US Open singles main-draw appearance in five years by overcoming Spain's Angela Fita Boluda in a rollercoaster encounter lasting nearly three hours.
The 34-year-old was twice a break up in the third set and served for the match - only to be taken to a deciding 10-point tie-break.
However, she held her nerve to seal a 6-4 5-7 7-6 (10-5) win.
That set up a meeting with Dart, who earlier produced a 5-7 6-0 6-3 win against American 16-year-old Kristina Penickova.

SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) stock has gone on quite the roller-coaster ride over the past few years. It was trading below $2 a share in January 2024, but topped out at over $24 per share at the end of that year. It nearly hit that high again in late 2025, but has come down significantly since then, and now trades at just over $7 per share. While hype about the company may have driven its stock up and the vacuum left behind when that buzz dissipated caused it to sink, SoundHound AI has been doing pretty well on the business front.
It has several exciting propositions that could make it a giant in the AI ***** e, but could it be your ticket to becoming a millionaire?

When measuring a single stock's potential to make an investor a millionaire, I think setting the initial investment at $10,000 is reasonable. Starting from an investment of that size, the stock would need to deliver a 100x return to transform the stake into a $1 million position.
Does SoundHound AI have that kind of upside potential? Today, it has a $3.12 billion market cap, so it would need to grow into a $312 billion company -- which is still smaller than another hot AI software stock, Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR), which is now valued at $420 billion. Palantir's tools for integrating AI features into business workflows have become quite popular. If SoundHound AI's audio recognition and AI integration software gains a similar level of popularity, then I think it's entirely possible the stock could deliver life-changing returns to long-term shareholders.

DETROIT — I'm calling it. The Tigers are toast.
It's been another rollercoaster of a season for Detroit's baseball team, which two years ago bucked 0.2% odds, and last year blew a 16.5-game lead in the division. Both seasons, the Tigers ended up in the playoffs and actually won a playoff series. Not this year. This year, the rollercoaster has crashed, burned and there's no coming back from that.
The Tigers entered last weekend's home series against the Chicago White Sox with a chance to take over first place in the American League Central with a sweep. They got swept, and that was the beginning of the end.
Since the start of that series, the Tigers have lost seven of eight games, including the first two games of this weekend's series against the Royals in Kansas City. They now are 61-68, seven games under .500 for the first time since mid-July. They are six games back of the White Sox.
And, the worst, they are 2.5 games back of the final wild-card spot, which doesn't seem all that daunting, until you consider this: There are seven teams in the hunt for that final playoff spot, and the Tigers sit seventh in that race. Jumping one, two or even three teams is doable, still with 33 games to go. Jumping six? Yeah, they're toast.

Jessica Pegula rallied from a break down in the final set to topple defending champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 on Saturday and reach the final of the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters.
World number three Pegula needed nearly three hours to dethrone Swiatek as the duo rode a rollercoaster of breaks and re-breaks before the 31-year-old American took a 5-4 lead in the final set after Swiatek saved three break points but double-faulted on a fourth.
Pegula quickly closed it out, firing a service winner on match point to reach Sunday's championship match in the US Open tune-up.

During their wild roller coaster 2025 season, which included several comeback victories, the Chicago Bears energized the city and their fanbase to great lengths, also getting their first playoff victory since the 2010 season.
In head coach Ben Johnson's first season, Bears fans were going viral on social media for their celebrations. But after their loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional playoffs, no one in the Bears organization is resting on year of fun, including All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney.
Thuney's arrival was part of an extreme makeover to the offensive line ahead of the 2025 season, and as he went on to win the NFL's Protector of the Year award, the Bears offense went to another level with quarterback Caleb Williams. Recently, Thuney said he enjoyed all the viral moments the team and fans had last year, but that the team is not settling on their success from last year.
"It was special, so many videos after the game of close wins, seeing families hugging and crying together," Thuney said. "Chicago is such an iconic franchise, and it's great getting back into the playoffs, getting a win, and winning the NFC North. But there are still more things to achieve. ******* ody in this building is satisfied or resting on that. There's still a very strong, burning hunger to push for more and keep improving."
It's very clear the atmosphere that Johnson has created inside the Bears organization. And when it comes to Thuney, he's a leader in the locker room for reasons such as these comments. Chicago hopes to keep building on their 11-win season from 2025, and it is apparent that the team recognizes they'll need to sustain long-term success while also positioning themselves as Super Bowl contenders.

Barcelona bid farewell to Ferran Torres after four and a half seasons at the club, with the Spanish forward securing a move to PSG ahead of the new season.
The 26-year-old leaves the Catalan giants after a remarkable rollercoaster experience during his time there, but with his stock at the highest it has ever been.
Ferran's exit leaves Barça without a recognised striker option in the senior squad, as the club try to address that situation in the final weeks of the transfer window.
Since his exit was made official, farewell messages have followed, and Dani Olmo has now shared an emotional message for Ferran.
The Barça midfielder posted a picture alongside Ferran on Instagram, taken during the club's **** le celebrations, and made clear that the 26-year-old will be missed inside the dressing room.

Offshore fishing teams are used to battling huge waves, but big waves are no comparison to the emotional roller coaster experienced by two Charleston crews in the White Marlin Open fished Aug. 3-8 in Ocean City, Md.
Anxiety! Stress! Pride! Mister Pete and Bull Pen were in line to earn paydays soaring into the millions, but at the same time they were thinking of that famous line by Yogi Berra: "It ain't over till it's over."
But when it was over, Mister Pete had earned the top prize in one of the largest (334 boats) and most prestigious billfish tournaments. And Bull Pen finished third but earned the second-highest payout in the tournament. Mister Pete, a 60-foot Spencer owned by brothers Bob and Rusty McClam and captained by Alan Neiford, won $3,503,891.54 for catching an 80-pound white marlin on Aug. 6.
The day before, Bull Pen, a 62-foot Bayliss owned by Todd Wigfield and captained by Cordes Lucas, had brought in the first eligible white marlin, a 70-pound catch that could have been worth more than $5 million if Mister Pete hadn't landed its fish. Bull Pen won $1,818,546.84, more than five times the amount of the second-place fish. Reel Hunter out of St. Michael's, Md., caught a 71.5-pound white marlin on Aug. 7 but didn't enter as many divisions as Bull Pen and finished with a $360,721.49 payday.
To be eligible for prizes, a white marlin must measure 70 inches from the tip of its lower jaw to the fork of the tail, and it must weigh at least 70 pounds. And those were the exact measurements of Bull Pen's fish caught by James Hood.

Dolly Parton was forced to miss another event this week due to her ongoing "health issues."
The 80-year-old pulled out of her appearance at Dollywood on Friday, August 14, at the last minute on orders from her doctor.
Dolly was due to attend the opening of the theme park's new $60 million roller coaster, NightFlight Expedition, but her health woes forced her to appear virtually instead.
Just as the event was about to kick off, Dolly appeared in a video with large, colorful **** erfly wings flapping on her back, and revealed she had been ordered to stay at home.
"I've had my **** erfly wings flappin' since May 15 when we were due to open the first time, and again in June," she said in the video shared by the president of Dollywood.
