Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has legally dropped her father's last name and chosen a surname that honors her mother instead, according to a Page Six report.
Rather than adopting Holmes as her last name, Suri opted for Noelle, her mother's middle name. While it's unclear when she officially changed her last name, Page Six reported that she registered to vote in Allegheny County, Pa., under the name Suri Noelle during her freshman year at Carnegie Mellon University in October 2024. She first made headlines in June 2024, when she graduated from New York City's LaGuardia High School and was listed as Suri Noelle in the ceremony pamphlet.
The reported name change comes after years of estrangement from Cruise. Following her parents' divorce in 2012, Suri moved from Los Angeles to New York City with Holmes, who was granted full custody, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The Mission: Impossible star was ordered to pay $400,000 annually in child support, plus medical, dental, education and insurance expenses, until Suri turned 18, the outlet reported.
Before moving to Pittsburgh, Pa., Suri, who has often been described as the spitting image of her mother, was frequently spotted out and about in New York City.
"We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests," read a joint statement from Holmes and Cruise following their divorce in 2012. "We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have suspended defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander for three weeks without pay following a drunken driving charge for an incident earlier this year.
The Vikings announced the punishment Tuesday as they began training camp. Alexander's suspension began Friday and will be in effect until Aug. 13, two days before their first preseason game at the New York Giants.
"I take full responsibility for the situation I put myself in and apologize for not meeting the mark," Alexander said in a statement released by the Vikings. "I know it's unacceptable. I understand the suspension and am committed to learning from the matter and ensuring I come back a better version of myself."
Alexander, who was also given the ****** le of defensive passing game coordinator, was hired in February to replace Daronte Jones, who became defensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders.
According to Hennepin County court records, Alexander pled guilty July 16 to a gross misdemeanor charge of third degree driving while impaired for refusal to submit to a chemical test. A fourth degree driving while impaired charge was dismissed. He was sentenced to 48 hours of community service, placed on two years of unsupervised probation and fined $603.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's 'Double Nickel' plan would freeze property taxes at 55, saving roughly 3.3 million homeowners $950 a year.
No-income-tax states like Florida and Tennessee are most likely to adopt similar policies, while high-tax states like New Jersey may pursue means-tested versions.
Homeowners near 55 should check existing county exemptions they may already qualify for and file appraisal protests before any new legislation passes.
Two retirees, same $1 million, same 4% rule, buy one finished with $1.4 million, the other hit $0 in 12 years. Our free reader guide explains the flaw that separated them, and the income-first method built to avoid it.
Texas is floating a proposal that could reshape how millions of homeowners think about turning 55. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick's "Double Nickel" plan would drop the qualifying age for a homestead property-tax freeze from 65 to 55, giving eligible homeowners an extra decade of protection from rising tax bills. The idea is being studied ahead of the 2027 legislative session in a state where property taxes supply 40.7% of state and local tax revenue and the effective rate on owner-occupied homes is 1.40%. That raises a fair question for homeowners elsewhere: Could this spread?

A "reckless" young driver who killed two people in a crash while speeding has had her prison sentence increased at the Court of Appeal.
Attorney General Ellie Reeves KC referred the case of Liberty Mitchell to the court under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, and it was increased from six years and eight months to nine years and three months.
Taxi driver Octavian Codreanu died at the scene and passenger Moyra Whelan died in hospital after the crash on the B4425 in Gloucestershire in December 2022.
Mitchell, 21, who passed her driving test three weeks before the crash, had admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by driving while uninsured.

When Florida State was preparing for the 2025 season, defensive tackle Kevin Wynn was looked at as one of the top incoming freshmen and a player who could have an immediate impact. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned for the former four-star prospect.
Wynn suffered an injury late in fall camp that held him out of FSU's win against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the season opener. He ended up playing in just four games last season and recorded one tackle. Now, Wynn is healthy, and he's also about 30 pounds lighter at 317.
According to defensive line coach Terrance Knighton, Wynn has made the most of his opportunities during the summer. He feels that Wynn has taken more strides than anyone.
"Juju, I think, had the biggest jump this summer. He's lost 40 pounds," Knighton said via Warchant. "He's moving well, which is helping his body with the day-to-day. Now, he's able to, like I said, focus on football. He's in great shape, and he's ready to show he can be an every-down player."
Wynn was an absolute force during his high school days at Greene County High School in Greensboro, Georgia. He racked up 84 tackles for loss and 14 sacks (seven as a senior). He displayed an incredible burst and great power, which is why he lived behind the line of scrimmage and became a top 100 recruit.

Demolition derbies are all about the destruction, but a crash in Ohio resulted in one driver being airlifted to the hospital as well as a lifetime ban for the other driver involved.
The crash happened at the Fayette County Fairgrounds, roughly halfway between Cincinnati and Columbus, on Saturday, July 25. The Washington Court House Record Herald reports that driver Hunter Wolf of Lynchburg, Ohio, delivered a direct hit to the driver-side door of a competitor, causing serious injuries to that driver.
Emergency crews extricated the victim from his vehicle and established a landing zone at the fairgrounds for a medical helicopter due to the severity of the driver's injuries. The Record Herald reports that the victim has not been identified and the extent of the injuries are not known.
Derbydog Inc., which organized the demolition derby, issued a lifetime ban to Wolf on Monday, July 27, according to a statement posted to Facebook by owners Jeremy and Frances Hejduk.
"While we can't absolutely know the intentions of every driver, the obvious nature of the direct driver's door hit by Hunter Wolf proves he has absolutely no concern for safety for fellow drivers," the Hejduks said in the statement. "This type of behavior will not be tolerated by Derbydog."

Every ball counts. It is a slogan made for The Hundred competition - the pyrotechnic-charged, music-pumping version of cricket bankrolled by billionaires.
It is a world away from what you get on the fringes of the professional game, where first-class cricket meets well-manicured English village grounds that so often host second XI matches.
At least, you would think so.
For some, playing for the 'twos' is a tightrope cricketing existence and a last shot at trying to make it as a professional. Every ball really could count.
But unlike The Hundred, where top earner Harry Brook will pocket £465,000 for a month's work, some second XI players on trial runs with County Championship sides are rocking up to play in matches on the UK daily minimum wage of just over £100, with a little more on top for expenses.

For Travis Perry, playing basketball at Kentucky was the dream.
The former Lyon County star grew up watching the Wildcats and eventually received a scholarship offer from former head coach John Calipari, committing to the program and staying with Kentucky even after Calipari departed for Arkansas and Mark Pope took over.
Then after one season in Lexington, Perry made the difficult decision to leave the program he always dreamed of representing.
Perry entered the transfer portal with two hours remaining before the deadline, choosing to find a new opportunity after Kentucky's roster moves created a challenging path toward consistent playing time. Pope had already added Pitt transfer Jaland Lowe, Florida transfer Denzel Aberdeen, returning guards Otega Oweh and Collin Chandler, and five-star freshman Jasper Johnson to the backcourt.
Despite limited opportunities as a freshman, Perry showed flashes during the season, averaging 2.7 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.6 ****** ists per game while shooting 31.3% from the field, 32.1% from 3-point range and 80% from the free-throw line.

One of the largest nuclear verdicts in history against trucking was handed down Thursday in a Dallas courtroom, a more than $600 million judgement that has quickly thrust C.H. Robinson into the post-Montgomery legal landscape.
A jury in Dallas County Court handed down a verdict of approximately $604 million in a case involving a March 2021 crash in Jackson, Mississippi. The case was filed in the Texas courtroom because the carrier whose truck was involved in the wreck, Lupus Superior, is based there.
C.H. Robinson (NASDAQ: CHRW) hired Lupus Superior to move products from Arizona Beverages.
Three persons were killed in the crash alongside numerous injuries to other automobile passengers in a pileup that occurred after a Lupus Superior truck driven by its employee, Gorgonio Gonzalez, plowed into several cars. Gonzalez also was killed in the crash.
The lead named plaintiff in the case is the estate of Peyton Lipe, who was one of the deceased.

Tonight's A's starter is 28-year-old lefty Jacob Lopez. He throws a low-90s fastball, a slider, cutter, change and sinker. When he fools hitters, he's good at minimizing hard contact, but he doesn't fool them often enough and he walks a lotta guys, which equals a 6.64 ERA (and 5.77 FIP) for this season.
The reasons the A's left Oakland are complex, but here's the very simple version: John Fisher is a useless failson s**theap who wants as much public money as he can possibly get, because he sucks.
The slightly longer version? The Oakland Coliseum was an old-ish building in poor repair (several instances of raw sewage in the dugouts, a much cuter invasion of feral cats), and — more importantly — featured very little in the way of luxury/premium seating. The team had wanted a new building since at least 2001, and had floated the idea of leaving the city altogether but staying in the Bay Area. A notion of moving to San Jose (40 miles away) was nixed by the Giants, who had territorial rights there; one of moving to to Fremont (25 miles away) was nixed by the city of Fremont.
The A's signed a 10-year lease renewal in 2014, with the understanding that the team would seek a new stadium in the same county as Oakland. The team proposed several dumb, greedy ideas which were shot down, and eventually useless failson Fisher got his heart set on part of Oakland's Howard Terminal. The city was half willing to work with him on that one, since they had their own ideas about redeveloping the area, but there were significant problems including interference with other industries, infrastructure costs, environmental concerns, inevitable sea level rise, and so on.
Still, when the city and the team were only about $100 million apart on a $12 billion project, the deal fell apart in 2023. Useless failson Fisher announced he would be moving the team to Las Vegas. There's lots of details behind this, but the best explanation came from the then-mayor's chief of staff: "I don't think he [Fisher] got cold feet. I think he got an accountant."

Jamichael Stillwell is a proven performer in the Big 12 Conference, and the former Central Florida forward committed to the Texas Tech men's basketball team on Friday, July 24.
It remains to be seen whether the 6-foot-8, 245-pound forward will ever play for the Red Raiders. He'll need a court injunction to do so. Stillwell is among 16 men's basketball players suing the NCAA for an extra year of eligibility in a complaint filed July 9 in Cobb County, Georgia, according to the Daytona News-Journal.
Stillwell has played four seasons of college basketball in four years. That lumps him in among the many players who are considered out of eligibility under the NCAA's newly approved age-based eligibility model, commonly known as the 5-for-5 rule. The NCAA has said it is not granting a fifth year under the new model to athletes who completed their fourth year of competition during the 2025-26 school year.

Tony Romo has largely stayed out of the headlines since retiring from the NFL nearly a decade ago, but the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is now making news for a very different reason.
The 46-year-old CBS Sports ******* yst was arrested Thursday night in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating while intoxicated (OWI), according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. Romo was reportedly stopped while driving on southbound Interstate 43 after deputies observed signs of impaired driving. Authorities said he was unable to complete standard field sobriety tests before being taken into custody. He was later booked and released.
Mega
The arrest marks the first known legal issue for Romo, who has maintained a relatively low profile since retiring from the NFL in 2017 and transitioning into broadcasting. As the lead NFL ******* yst for CBS Sports, he's become one of football's most recognizable television personalities, earning praise for his game ******* ysis after spending 14 seasons as quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
The incident reportedly happened while Romo was back in his home state of Wisconsin, where he grew up and has remained active in the golf community. According to reports, he had recently competed in the Wisconsin State Amateur golf tournament before his arrest.

Charlotte could one day host a Super Bowl, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the city will need more hotel rooms before it can make that happen. Goodell made the comments to Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper on Thursday night.
The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority said the Charlotte region currently has more than 46,000 hotel rooms across 442 properties, including more than 32,000 rooms at 263 hotels in Mecklenburg County. The city's urban core includes nearly 3,900 luxury and upscale hotel rooms.
ALSO READ: Renderings show what Bank of America Stadium will look like in the future
CRVA Chief Communications and Advocacy Officer Gina Sheridan said attracting a major event like the Super Bowl requires more than just increasing the number of hotel rooms.
"When you look at destinations that regularly host events of this scale, success isn't measured by room count alone," Sheridan said. "It's about having the right mix of hotels in the right locations to meet the needs of visitors, event organizers, sponsors and media while creating a seamless experience."
