LeBron James has spent more than two decades setting records that once looked out of reach. Yet former NBA center Olden Polynice believes one of the game's rare statistical feats should have belonged to James long before Russell Westbrook made it his own.
Polynice is not questioning James' greatness. His argument is almost the opposite. He believes James had so much size and all-around ability that failing to post a full-season triple-double stands out as a strange omission from an otherwise historic career.
Speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Polynice said James should have reached the milestone before Westbrook ever did. He pointed to James' unusual combination of strength, skill and playmaking as the reason.

"I love LeBron. I really do. I think he's one of the greatest ever. Ever," Polynice said. "What he's doing right now we've never seen before. And I won't even get into the off the court. He's by himself over there."

Stephen "The Bullet" Bunting's love for darts was formed at a young age while watching his dad play at their local pub.
"I think I was about 12 or 13," he remembered. "Hood up, sneaking around, sitting at the back, being very quiet with a bag of crisps and a fizzy orange."
Nearly three decades later, and now a father himself, everything has gone full circle for Fazakerley's finest.
His elder son now watches him play... albeit in sold-out arenas across the country rather than in their local boozer.
"In darts, if it goes wrong there's only you that can change it," said the 41-year-old Bunting, who now lives in St Helens.

Franco Mastantuono's time at Real Madrid was anything but memorable as he suffered with poor form and fitness and never really got going as many expected him to.
The youngster thus left the club in the summer transfer window, just one season into his Real Madrid stint, and is currently on loan at Fiorentina for one season.
Los Blancos, meanwhile, have brought in Yan Diomande as a record signing to strengthen the left flank – the same position Mastantuono used to play while at the club.
Last night, Mastantuono started Fiorentina's Serie A clash against Venezia which ended a 4-1 win for his side, and it was the young Argentine who played the pioneering role.

For 23 years, it has been the world's most annoying sports trivia question: Who's the last American man to win a Grand Slam singles ****** le?
Ben Shelton has always been the one with the ability to change it.
No disrespect to any of the others who have carried the red, white and blue banner for more than two decades across the men's tennis tour since Andy Roddick won his US Open ****** le in 2003. John Isner served his way to millions of dollars and a few nice tournament wins. The likes of Mardy Fish and Sam Querrey did the best they could in the Roger Federer/Rafael Nadal/Novak Djokovic era. Taylor Fritz has worked tirelessly to improve his game and continues to be a factor among the best players in the world.
But there is no divine right for any country, even one as big and athletically successful as the USA, to produce Grand Slam champions in a global sport where only a select few are going to rise to the top. It takes everything: Talent, development, the right set of circumstances and maybe a little bit of luck.
And for Shelton, the 23-year old who was born in Atlanta, raised to be an NCAA champion in Gainesville, Fla., and unleashed onto the world stage by a meticulously patient father/coach, only one more match stands in his way of the ultimate American story.

The 2026 Venice Film Festival runs from September 2 to September 12, 2026, with A-listers like Kendall Jenner and Robert Pattinson in attendance.
Stars traditionally hit the red carpet in couture gowns, statement-making pieces, and custom tuxedos.
InStyle looks back at the festival's best fashion moments, dating all the way back to 1958.
The 83rd Venice International Film Festival is officially underway. Film junkie or not, you can't deny that Hollywood's finest arrive in Italy ready to bring their best-dressed game. After all, when you're surrounded by your peers competing for some of the industry's highest honors, why wouldn't you dress the part? C'mon. First held in August 1932, the Venice Film Festival has long been one of the industry's most glamorous events, welcoming everyone from Jane Fonda to Lady Gaga over the decades. I'd argue the red carpet is a spectacle all its own, with our favorite fashion houses playing a starring role.
From the water-taxi arrivals to the actual carpet, celebrities often use Venice to offer a glimpse at fashion's next era, stepping out in fresh-of-the-runway Chanel, Dior, Versace, and more. Robert Pattinson, for instance, pulled up in Dior 2027, while Timothée Chalamet famously tested the waters in a daring backless ensemble. Or Zendaya in that Dune-coded Balmain look in 2021? And of course, we have to pay our respects to the style icons who came before them—ahem Jane Birkin—who brough their signature effortless staples to the Lido.

Pierce Brosnan is ready to say goodbye to his slice of Malibu paradise, after decades of dodging wildfires, worrying about earthquakes and shelling out a fortune to keep his sprawling $100 million compound afloat.
The former James Bond star, 73, and wife Keely Shaye Smith, 62, are preparing to move on from the spectacular oceanfront estate they have called home for more than two decades, with Brosnan admitting that life along California's famously volatile coastline has begun to lose some of its ****** er.
"We've been spared by the fires a few times now. But I think it's time to move," Brosnan told The Times. "Everything changes, everything falls apart."
After 26 years and more than a few close calls with wildfires, Pierce Brosnan said he's ready to leave Malibu. Brett D. Cove / SplashNews.com

Paola of Belgiumturns 89 this September 11: the Belgian press isn't publishing big special features on her, and so far the official channels also haven't marked the day with a new photo or a public gesture, as they tend to do when it's a milestone birthday. It's been a while since the woman who was queen consort for two decades stepped into the background; she suffered a stroke in 2018, from which she recovered, and now lives a quiet life between Belgium and the south of France.
Her public appearances are now rare; here she is with her husband, Albert II, and the current monarchs, her son, Philippe of the Belgians, and his wife, Queen Mathilde. The picture was taken in 2023 during National Day. (@ Patrick van Katwijk)

Judd Nelson made a rare public appearance in West Hollywood this week, looking a lot different than he did as an '80s teen icon.
In photos shared by the Daily Mail and published on Friday, September 11, the Breakfast Club star, 66, stepped out in an eclectic layered look — camo pants, a brown shirt and a loosely ***** oned plaid overshirt in blue, red and white, all topped off with a black trench coat. He rounded out the outfit with a gray ball cap and sunglasses. But the real transformation came from his beard: long, gray and scruffy, it obscured much of his once-famous face.
David Edwards / MEGA
Nelson grinned as he geared up, strapped on a sticker-covered black helmet, hopped on his motorcycle and headed off into traffic.
The Suddenly Susan alum tends to avoid the red-carpet circuit and public events, but he's a familiar sight to Angelenos who spot him weaving through the city on two wheels. His love of motorcycles even led to a memorable mishap decades ago on his first day filming 1991's New Jack City alongside Ice-T and Chris Rock.

Prince Harry reportedly had his sights set on one of Princess Diana's most famous fashion pieces. The Duke allegedly wanted Meghan Markle to own the iconic "Revenge Dress."
The striking Christina Stambolian creation was heading toward a major auction in New York. Its potential sale also carried decades of royal history, making Harry's alleged interest especially intriguing.
According to Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack, Harry wanted to buy Diana's famous black dress. Sotheby's planned to auction the off-the-shoulder gown in New York on December 9. The auction house estimated its value between $150,000 and $300,000.
According to a source cited by Shuter, Harry viewed the dress as more than royal memorabilia. "Harry sees that dress as a symbol of his mother taking back her power," the insider told Naughty But Nice. The source said Diana wore it while pushing back against Charles, Camilla and the institution.
Diana wore the daring Christina Stambolian dress in 1994. That same day, then-Prince Charles publicly acknowledged his infidelity. The fashion moment quickly became one of Diana's most recognizable public statements.

Pete Davidson is remembering his late father, Scott Davidson, as the United States marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks.
The comedian was only a child when Scott, a New York City firefighter, died while responding to an attack. More than two decades later, he continues to honor his dad while acknowledging how difficult the anniversary is for him.
This year, however, Pete Davidson is channeling that grief into something positive by encouraging Americans to perform acts of kindness in remembrance of those who lost their lives.

Pete was only seven years old when his father lost his life responding to the September 11 attacks. Now, 25 years later, he is reflecting on Scott not only as his dad but also as a firefighter who devoted himself to helping others.

Sandra Bullock has learned to love who she becomes during life's darkest times.
The 62-year-old actress has lost two deeply close loved ones in recent decades – her longtime partner Bryan Randall, who died in 2023 at age 57, and her mother, Helga Meyer, who passed away in 2000 at age 58.
In the second part of an interview with Hoda Kotb for the Today show, Bullock opened up about how she has dealt with being in the room when those closest to her slipped away.
"It's hard because there isn't a guidebook. Nothing has served me in a more fulfilling and enlightening way than being with someone in the room when it happens," Bullock – who was being interviewed alongside her Practical Magic 2 costar Nicole Kidman, 59 – told Kotb. "And I've been there and I've seen it and it's been different every time. But I love how I am in that moment. That's something about myself that I don't know where it came from, but I love how I am to the person in that moment."

President Donald Trump hasn't been permitted to drive on public roads since taking office in 2016, in accordance with long-standing Secret Service protocols. These rules, introduced after the **** assination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, prohibit both the president and vice president from driving themselves — even after they leave office.
HELLO!'s US Royal News Correspondent Alexandra Hurtado shared her expert insight into the topic. "After becoming president in 2017, President Trump himself said he liked to drive, but could no longer do so. While he may have given up the driver's seat of a car, he has been seen during his presidency behind the wheel of a golf cart," she shared.
Like all modern U.S. presidents, Trump was chauffeured in "The Beast," a heavily armored Cadillac limousine. Despite no longer getting behind the wheel, Trump has maintained an impressive car collection over the years, featuring luxury brands such as Cadillac, Rolls-Royce, and Lamborghini. **** O! takes a closer look at the luxury cars Donald Trump has owned over the years.

Just before his first election in 2016, Trump was spotted behind the wheel of a brand-new Rolls-Royce Phantom – a fitting choice for someone with a taste for luxury. Decades earlier, he also owned a 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, believed to be one of the first cars he ever purchased. According to reports, he would take it out for a spin on special occasions, making it a cherished piece in his early collection.

Nicole Kidman reached the top of her profession in 2003 and discovered that the view from there could still feel painfully empty.
The actor won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Virginia Woolf in The Hours, but she now says the celebration behind one of the defining photographs of her career did not match what she was experiencing privately.
"I was beyond lonely," Kidman said during the Sept. 10 episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane. "I had the pinnacle of my success, and I went home and was so lonely."
The win came two years after her divorce from Tom Cruise. Looking back more than two decades later, Kidman said the absence of a partner to share the achievement with became impossible to ignore, leading to one of the most profound realizations of the night, "I've got to get a life."
Kidman's parents were with her at the 75th Academy Awards, but the relationship she found herself missing was a romantic one. "I had my mom with me and my dad, but I was like, 'Where's my partner, someone that I can share this with?'" Kidman recalled, according to PEOPLE.

Apple is skipping the base iPhone 18 this fall in favor of three premium devices: the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable — rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, Duo, or Fold. The foldable is the headline. It's expected to feature a 7.8-inch internal display, a 5.3-inch external screen, an A20 Pro chip, and a thickness of just 4.5mm unfolded, with pricing estimated between $1,999 and $2,399 and limited initial supply. It marks Apple's entry into the foldable category years after rivals — a potentially major new product cycle for one of the world's most valuable companies.
Here's the pattern every ETF investor should understand before today's close. Nearly two decades of data show that Apple tends to "sell the news" on launch day itself. AAPL averages a roughly 0.3% decline on iPhone launch days, with a median drop of about 0.6% — the classic case of anticipation being priced in before the reveal.
But the weakness rarely lasts. Apple has averaged a 0.5% gain the very next session (positive in 15 of 24 releases), and the longer-term picture is decisively bullish: AAPL has gained in the 60 days following an iPhone reveal 17 times since the original 2007 launch. The biggest such move was a 20% gain in the 60 days after the iPhone 11 reveal in 2019. In other words, launch-day dips have historically been buying opportunities, not warning signs. **** ysts have also downplayed fears about the ~$2,000 foldable price tag, arguing a premium halo product is unlikely to dent Apple's overall economics.
Apple is not just a stock — it's one of the largest weights in the entire ETF universe. As one of the biggest companies in the world, it sits near the top of the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100, and virtually every technology index. That means a move in AAPL ripples through hundreds of funds, and millions of investors have significant Apple exposure without realizing it. When Apple moves on event day, these are the ETFs that move with it.
A handful of funds carry outsized Apple weights and will feel today's move most acutely. GXPT (Global X PureCap MSCI Information Technology ETF) holds roughly 19.2% in Apple — the highest of any diversified fund. FTEC (Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF) holds about 16.3%, VGT (Vanguard Information Technology ETF) about 16.2%, TRUT (VanEck Technology TruSector ETF) roughly 15.1%, and TOPT (iShares Top 20 U.S. Stocks ETF) around 14.5%. For these funds, Apple is a dominant driver of daily returns.

Spectacular goals, peerless technique and a true Nerazzurri heart: born in Belgrade on 11 September 1978, Dejan Stankovic celebrates his 48th birthday today. Deki spent nine years in Nerazzurri colours, from January 2004 to 2013, making 326 appearances, scoring 42 goals and lifting an incredible 15 trophies: one Champions League, one FIFA Club World Cup, five Scudetti, and the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana four times apiece. Those achievements also earned him a place in the Club's Hall of Fame, fitting recognition of his deep bond with the Nerazzurri. To mark his birthday, Internazionale Morning Club looks back on his Inter journey through the story of one unforgettable match: the 4-3 derby victory over AC Milan on 28 October 2006.
Take a moment to picture the goal you would most like to score if you were a footballer. Your first thought is probably the right one: a goal from the halfway line. Perhaps even on the volley. Now imagine not merely dreaming of it, but actually doing it. And then doing it again in a Champions League quarter-final. This is no dream. This is Dejan Stankovic.
And yet, on reflection, perhaps there was no single position in which Dejan Stankovic was irreplaceable. He could play anywhere in a flat 4-4-2 or a midfield diamond. Look at it just as objectively, however, and it becomes impossible to leave the Serbian midfielder out of any all-time Inter XI. Indeed, he is almost always there. He went straight into the Club's Hall of Fame in 2019, receiving more votes than any other midfielder.
It is difficult to name an aspect of the game at which Deki did not excel. We have already mentioned his shooting: there were plenty of goals, and they always seemed to matter. Four came in derbies, for starters. Two arrived during the 2009/10 Champions League campaign, helping Inter emerge unbeaten from testing group-stage encounters away to Rubin Kazan and at home to Dynamo Kyiv - two important steps on the road to Champions League success.
Choosing one defining moment is no easy task. It would be all too obvious to celebrate those two masterpieces from the halfway line - or, in truth, from even farther out. Their time will come. Instead, we have chosen another: a goal scored in a derby that all but confirmed a shift in the balance of power in Milano. After two decades in which the Rossoneri generally held the upper hand, from 1986 to 2006, the 20 years since have largely belonged to the Nerazzurri.

Ever since Keely Hodgkinson became Olympic champion two years ago, she has not just taken talk of breaking track's longest-standing world record in stride but embraced the possibility.
For 43 years Jarmila Kratochvilova's time of 1:53.28 has stood unbothered, a mark that even World Athletics president Sebastian Coe has previously said he is wishing out of existence following decades of innuendo and suspicion around it being clean.
Now, at last, eclipsing it feels inevitable; although in the **** e of three months Hodgkinson is no longer the favourite to do so.
The summer of 2026 has belonged to Audrey Werro, irrespective of whether the Swiss can round off a perfect season at this weekend's inaugural Ultimate Championships in Budapest.
And while only a fool would write off Hodgkinson becoming the fastest of all time in 2027, the latest rival to have demoted the British superstar to a major championship silver medal seems the most likely.

A California appeals court has ruled that Jay-Z cannot sue a personal injury attorney for extortion or defamation.
The musician's bid to sue was in response to a lawsuit that accused him of raping a 13-year-old girl.
In 2024, Tony Buzbee accused Jay-Z, known legally as Shawn Carter, of raping a child alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs decades earlier, then dropped the case just months later.
Jay-Z denied the allegations and fought back, claiming the lawyer had fabricated the claims to extort him.
In a new ruling, California's Second Appellate District has decreed that the rap icon cannot sue Buzbee for extortion or defamation over the salacious accusations, even if they were quickly dismissed.
"The record contains no evidence Buzbee accused Carter of raping Jane Doe while knowing those statements to be false or with reckless disregard as to whether they were true," the appeals court wrote in a decision obtained by Billboard.

Tina Knowles is starring in her first solo fashion campaign at 72, fronting the relaunch of American luxury label St. John under Humberto Leon.
Tina Knowles has spent decades dressing other people. At 72, she has finally been asked to stand in front of the camera herself.
Vanity Fair reported that Knowles is fronting the creative relaunch of St. John, the American luxury house founded in California in the 1960s, in what amounts to her first-ever solo fashion campaign.
The move is overseen by the label's new creative director, Humberto Leon, who co-founded Opening Ceremony and previously shared creative duties at Kenzo alongside Carol Lim.
The timing is worth pausing on. Knowles established the family's presence in fashion long before either of her daughters, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles, became style figures in their own right, working as stylist, costume designer and creative force behind Destiny's Child.

Let's just get this out of the way: Mark Wahlberg is as A-list as it gets. He broke out in 1997's "Boogie Nights," and in the nearly three decades since, he's built one of the highest-wattage careers in Hollywood: two Academy Award nominations, a Golden Globe nod for "The Fighter," multiple Emmy nominations as a producer (HBO's "Entourage" among them), and a filmography that spans crime dramas, comedies, and action blockbusters. Right now, he's back on screen in "By Any Means," a manhunt thriller set during the 1966 Mississippi civil rights killings.
He's also signaling where he's increasingly turning his attention. Wahlberg will sit down with Bruce K. Lee, Founder and CEO of Keebeck Wealth Management, on the main stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to talk about his own progression. Grab your ticket here so you don't miss a moment of this session and Disrupt 2026. Ticket prices increase on September 25.
Image Credits:TechCrunch
His acting career is really just part of the picture. Over the past two decades, Wahlberg has built a production company, a restaurant chain, apparel and fitness ventures, a slate of angel investments, and the now 25-year-old Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which supports inner-city kids and teens. He's used his Hollywood success to launch big projects well outside the movie business — and in a fireside chat at this year's Disrupt, he's going to give us a peek into how.
Wahlberg, who's leaned almost entirely on entrepreneurial instinct about people, culture, products, and markets, is now someone who's been building institutional-level investing discipline, with Lee as his guide, and with a growing focus on healthcare and wellness startups. It's a rare, unvarnished look at how someone with Wahlberg's cultural intelligence has worked his way into some of the most sophisticated rooms in business and finance.

What's a birthday party without confetti and a few tears? There were certainly both at Coach's Spring 2027 show, at which the brand celebrated its 85th anniversary. But while eight and a half decades in business is a pretty big deal, creative director Stuart Vevers wasn't interested in a mere anniversary spectacle rehashing the label's greatest hits. Instead, he used the milestone as a chance to revisit the pieces and ideas that have come to define Coach by pulling them apart (quite literally in some cases—see the Inside-Out Brooklyn Tote) and putting them back together in ways that felt totally fresh.
"I didn't want to make a retrospective," Vevers said in a press release, explaining that his latest collection is centered around the concept of memory, and the way familiar things change and evolve as we live with them. After 85 years, Coach has plenty of history to draw from, but Vevers isn't interested in preserving it with museum-level precision. He'd rather draw straight from the source material and turn it into something simultaneously familiar and brand new.
To that end, the show opened with hallmark Coach silhouettes rendered in cool neutrals: oversized trench coats, tailored jackets, structured leather bags, and chunky pendants, all in shades of dove gray, black, white, soft brown, and natural leather. Some of the tailoring was made from garment-dyed, sun-faded jersey, which gave a blazer or trench coat's shape a hoodie-like softness. It was a clever way of presenting Coach's heritage in a manner that felt lived-in rather than preserved behind glass, as if these brand signatures had been worn, washed, and loved over the course of many years. Meanwhile, bias-cut dresses and skirts came in everything from repurposed lining fabrics and overdyed georgette to denim and lamé, adding another layer of innovation to the line-up.
Multi-textured layers of grey on Coach's Spring 2027 runway.

Midway through the show, the parade of earth tones gave way to something much brighter and bolder. Models took to the catwalk in head-to-toe sequin dresses and maxi-skirt sets in powder pink, periwinkle, mint, and metallics. Alongside them came gift boxes reimagined as purses, leather birthday hats, and crowns, pushing the subtle anniversary theme into a full-blown party motif.

Tommy Hilfiger has highlighted Travis Kelce's fashion-forward approach and signature style as the NFL player takes on the role of the brand's global ambassador.

Speaking during Live From E! Stream: Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2027 Runway Show, Hilfiger said, according to E! News, "Travis Kelce is the ultimate superstar American athlete—he is friendly, he's fun. But when he dresses, he's serious. He really likes fashion."
Commenting on the campaign looks, the 75-year-old fashion designer said, "When he's wearing his camel coat and his hoodie, that's classic and modern. He's wearing the varsity jacket, which is classic and modern. He's wearing variations on all of our preppy classics. He makes them look great."
Speaking further about the collection, Hilfiger said, "It's a remix of the preppy classics we've been doing for four decades. What I wanted to do was evolve it, make it current for today, make it fun, colorful and full of surprises. We're bringing back our original crest embroidery. The flag is, of course, our corporate logo, but the crest is really a new addition."
Gigi Hadid appeared alongside her best friend Taylor Swift's husband in the Fall 2026 campaign, ****** led Only in New York. The campaign brings together Tommy Hilfiger, his wife, Dee, and several famous faces throughout the hotel, including singer Jisoo, DJ Peggy Gou, tennis star Frances Tiafoe and former basketball player Carmelo Anthony.

Rachael Foster was 17 when she landed one of her first catalog jobs modeling for dELiA*s
After discovering the brand had returned at Target, she went to see how the new collection compared with the dELiA*s she remembered
Foster still has around 30 original catalogs, along with containers of keepsakes her mom saved from her decades-long modeling career
Rachael Foster was scrolling through TikTok when a logo she knew better than most appeared on her screen: dELiA*s, the brand she had modeled for as a teenager nearly 30 years earlier. After learning it had returned at Target, Foster knew looking at the collection online wasn't going to be enough.
"Then actually going to Target and standing there next to dELiA*s again was surreal," Foster tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It immediately took me back to being 17, being on those sets with the other girls, the music playing and all of us just having fun."

Demi Moore and Rob Lowe just had the sweetest Brat Pack reunion!
A whopping four decades since the height of their Brat Pack days, and some months after the premiere of the documentary on the era, Brats, the St. Elmo's Fire co-stars delighted fans by getting together in Los Angeles.
And as the West Wing alum surprised fans to support the The Substance actress for a screening of the body horror film, they left fans marveling over just how little they have changed.
After Rob made a surprise appearance at a The Substance screening last week, Demi took to Instagram over the weekend to thank him for it.
The current Golden Globe nominee shared a photo of the two posing side-by-side; she was wearing a brown plaid blazer and skirt set paired with a coordinating cardigan, while Rob wore a gray striped t-shirt under a satin bomber jacket paired with black jeans.

U.S. stock futures were little changed to moderately higher on Wednesday as investors ***** sed further military developments involving the United States and Iran, movements in oil and bond markets, developments in artificial intelligence and renewed trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada.
At 02:48 ET (06:48 GMT), S&P 500 futures were up 6 points, or 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 57 points, or 0.2%. Dow futures were broadly unchanged.
Wall Street equities declined on Tuesday following exchanges of attacks between the U.S. and Iran and strikes against Saudi Arabia by Houthi forces in Yemen.
Technology stocks were also affected by market reaction to OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model, with software and services companies declining while some AI infrastructure-related companies, including chipmakers and data centre-linked industrial groups, received investor interest.
U.S. government bonds have also come under selling pressure. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was trading just below 5%, close to its highest level in almost two decades.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) stock soared nearly 50% in May, as Wall Street began seeing the legacy automotive company as a hidden-gem infrastructure play as the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and data center energy explodes. The stock has since given back about half of its May surge, and that gives investors who see long-term growth an opportunity to jump back in at a better price.
Here's why investors should be intrigued.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
In May, the Detroit automaker announced its wholly owned subsidiary, called Ford Energy, which will develop and offer a battery energy storage system (BESS) for utility customers, AI data centers, and other large industrial and commercial customers. Savvy investors may have seen this coming, but for the most part, Ford built the new business behind the scenes, securing supply chains and preparing manufacturing. Ford Energy will manufacture battery cells, **** emble modules and containers, and offer sales and service support, which could be the lucrative part. That's because the automaker's Ford Energy DC block was designed to have a stable and predictable lifetime performance for about two decades.
To help connect the dots for investors wondering, AI data centers run intense workloads that put immense strain on the electrical grid. Ford's BESS give AI data centers security in the event of electrical grid fluctuations or blackouts, as the centers need an uninterrupted power supply. The systems will also provide power during AI workload spikes, charge when electricity is cheap, and discharge when prices peak, ultimately lowering costs and providing downtime protection.

U.S. Soccer has announced that Don Garber will serve as the chair of the federation's Soccer Forward initiative.
Garber has served as MLS commissioner since 1999, but will be replaced by Larry Berg starting on Jan. 1, 2027.

As part of his new role, U.S. Soccer said that Garber will "bring new partners to the table, grow support for U.S. Soccer's long-term priorities, and offer soccer to more people in more places than ever before."
"I've spent more than four decades working in professional sports, and I've always believed that our greatest progress comes through strong partnerships and a shared vision," said Garber.

Actress Nicole Kidman has major plans to spend more time in London moving forward—though, as the "Nine Perfect Strangers" star has revealed, the city has quietly been a part of her life for decades.
Nearly a year after her split from husband Keith Urban, 58, Kidman, 59, let slip to British Vogue that she's had an apartment near Notting Hill for quite some time.
"I've had it for 20 years … 21 actually," the actress, who admitted that she has been "lonely" at home following her divorce," said.
It marks the first time that the "Moulin Rouge!" actress has confirmed she owns property in London—having already amassed homes in Beverly Hills, CA; New York City; Nashville, TN; and Australia. While all of those properties have appeared in numerous headlines, her U.K. abode has remained surprisingly under the radar.
"I'm stealth," Kidman shared of her ability to keep the property so tightly under wraps.
