Donna Air's temporary move to Los Angeles has brought an unexpected companion into the picture: Paul "PK" Kemsley.
The British actress and television personality, 47, was photographed leaving Chateau Marmont with Kemsley, 59, after the two reportedly dined together at the West Hollywood hotel. The Sun published Backgrid photographs showing them walking outside together before getting into the same car.
An onlooker told the outlet that Air and Kemsley appeared "really cosy" as they laughed and talked during the evening. Kemsley supplied the clearest description of the outing himself when a fan reportedly approached him and he responded, "I'm on a f***ing date, stop interrupting."
The sighting comes only weeks after TMZ filmed Kemsley vacationing in Greece with Tatiana Kharchylava, whom the outlet described at the time as his girlfriend.
The Sun's photographs show Air and Kemsley emerging from Chateau Marmont side by side after spending time together inside. They were later photographed entering the same waiting vehicle.

For spring 2027, Vincent Garnier Pressiat transformed a floor of the recently reopened Bus Palladium — where stars like Serge Gainsbourg and Mick Jagger stayed in the 1970s — into an intimate stage for a woman in the messy aftermath of a breakup.
Guests were invited behind room doors to discover scenes of morning-after disorder: one model struggled to light a cigarette in front of a fan, another got a tattoo on a bed and a third stood beside the sofa holding a chainsaw. On a room-service trolley, a vibrator sat on a dirty plate.

Oct 3 - Women, some citing their own experiences of ******* ual ******* ault, are posting on social media that they are Jane Doe, in solidarity with the woman using the pseudonym in accusing fraternity members of raping her at Cornell University in 2024.
In a case that has drawn national attention, the woman is suing seven fraternity members and the Ivy League school in Ithaca, New York, among others.
And although New York law allows "Jane Doe" anonymity for ******* ual ******* ault lawsuits, the Cornell student has become distressed at attempts by some online skeptics of her account to discover her name and publish it, her lawyer said.
"I want us to support Jane Doe in coming to her own way of identifying herself in her own time," said Twanna LaTrice Hill, a writer and actor in Denver who has declared #IamJaneDoe on social media in recent days. "And if she never does, that's fine. But the flip side of that is that the people like me need to speak up if we are able to."

Angelina Jolie put her storied Los Feliz estate on the market in May, marking the latest chapter in a house that has already had more than a few famous owners. Now it has a new one: Madonna, who has reportedly bought the former Cecil B. DeMille estate for $24.75 million.
Jolie bought the property for $24.5 million in 2017 and listed it this spring for $29.85 million. It ultimately sold for just $250,000 more than she paid nearly a decade ago. Madonna apparently didn't need to spend much time getting acquainted with the place. According to the New York Post, her team arranged a private tour after she expressed interest in the property, even though she wasn't in Los Angeles at the time.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Mackie, the fashion designer whose visually provocative Hollywood style defined glamour for the 1970s — including putting Carol Burnett in some of her kookiest getups and Cher in her raciest ones — died Monday. He was 87.
"He lived his 87 years to the fullest, fulfilling his dream of being a Fashion and Costume Designer, which is all he ever wanted to do," a read statement on his social media accounts. "His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world."
Dubbed the "Designer to the Stars," Mackie won nine Emmy Awards, a Tony Award and was nominated for three Oscars, including one for Barbra Streisand's "Funny Lady," in which she wore a sheer batwing gown. He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Science's Hall of Fame in 2002.
He designed gowns for Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Sharon Stone, Diana Ross and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and concert costumes for Pink. When Marilyn Monroe delivered a breathy, seductive take on "Happy Birthday" at a fundraiser for President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic National Committee, she did it in a sheer, beaded gown that Mackie dreamed up in a sketch.
His influence can be seen in the styles of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. His archival pieces are worn today by the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Miley Cyrus and Zendaya, the latter who wore a Mackie gown to honor Cher at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. When Taylor Swift wanted to look like a showgirl on the cover of her 2025 album "The Life of a Showgirl," she turned to some Mackie originals.

I'll never forget the first time I encountered Grindr. In 2009, I was enjoying happy hour at Cobalt, a since-shuttered gay bar in D.C.'s Dupont Circle. My friend, spying the mustard skull on an iPhone (first released in 2007!) from across the room, nudged me. "That's the gay hookup app," he whispered scandalously.
When I got over the stigma of downloading Grindr, I was astounded how easy it was to flirt with nearby queer men — and to network. During RuPaul's Drag Race season 3, I changed my username to "Team Jujubee," a nod to a frontrunner, which helped me find a viewing-party friend in my neighborhood. When I lived in New York, I would sometimes engage in friendly chats with the app's gay founder, Joel Simkhai, who'd pop up on my grid from time to time.
For good and ill, tech and our relationship with it has changed a lot since the aughts. Gay apps are no longer a battery-draining novelty; for many, they're as quotidian as texting, a digital town square where a Madonna takeover and catfishing are commonplace. Many, like Grindr, are also now owned by straight people. And no need to comb the upper reaches of Cablevision's channels to find Drag Race anymore — there's an app for that too (several, in fact, depending on the region and season).
This is Out's Tech Issue, and we could think of no better cover stars that encapsulate this queer new media landscape than Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova. These queens went through the TV crucible of the House of Ru to emerge as stars of social media and the podcast world. (Their popular podcast, The Bald and the Beautiful, just signed a three-year deal with SiriusXM.) In their cover story on page 36, the media mavens discuss their dizzying rise through the digital spheres — and how their real-life friendship has kept them grounded.
Elsewhere in cyberspace, the advent of artificial intelligence has brought many miracles but also new terrors in how our data can be exploited. Learn how to protect yourself in the online dating world via Last Call (page 58). Technology does have its benefits; find ways it can improve your looks in our Beauty guide (page 26). But it's also important to find ways to unplug. In Out Picks, our editors highlight products that help them blissfully disconnect (page 8).

Man City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League after squeezing past Coventry 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium, although Enzo Maresca's side were made to work considerably harder than they might have expected.
Erling Haaland scored the decisive goal, his third of the season, while Elliot Anderson produced another commanding midfield display. Coventry remained within touching distance throughout and came close to stealing a point late on.
City had already received a warning before taking the lead, with Gianluigi Donnarumma required to intervene as Coventry threatened.
A late change had brought Enzo Fernandez into the starting XI after Nico O'Reilly suffered an injury during the warm up, and Fernandez quickly settled into proceedings.
His pass released Antoine ****** yo, whose delivery was met by Haaland. The Norwegian produced a powerful header to put Man City ahead and seemingly establish the platform for a more comfortable afternoon.

Manchester City have won 1-0 today against stubborn Coventry City side at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon. A Erling Haaland header in the 26th minute was just enough for City make it three wins from three matches to start the new Premier League season.
When the starting lineups were announced, Enzo Maresca had made only one change to the starting lineup which dispatched Crystal Palace 4-1 last weekend. Iliman Ndiaye replaced Phil Foden in the starting lineup as the Senegalese international made his Premier League debut from the start today. Enzo Fernandez was on the bench for today's game. However, that changed 15 minutes before kickoff. Nico O'Reilly suffered an injury in the warm up and Enzo Fernandez replaced him in Manchester City's starting lineup.
Manchester City began the game dominating possession, however it was Coventry City who should have taken the lead inside the opening eight minutes. First, Abdukodir Khusanov played a ball back to Gianluigi Donnarumma on his own goal line. The Italian had a poor first touch which almost trickled over the goal line to give Frank Lampard's side the lead in the 6th minute.
However, two minutes later, Coventry City should have taken the lead. Antoine ****** yo played a dangerous ball from the right into midfield which Coventry City striker Taiwo Awoniyi intercepted. Awoniyi surged clean through on goal with only the keeper to beat. But he fired his shot wide of the post with Gianluigi Donnarumma rushing out to save his team's blushes. Taiwo Awoniyi's chance was a clear warning shot to Enzo Maresca's side that today's match wouldn't be a walk in the park.
Manchester City's first shot on target would arrive in the 16th minute. Elliot Anderson was fouled in midfield and he quickly took the free kick and set free Rayan Cherki. Cherki surged into ****** e and played in Erling Haaland with a quality through ball. Haaland fired in a powerful low drive from inside the Coventry penalty area across goal which Coventry City keeper Carl Rushworth got down well to save.

Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland have already been confirmed as two of the Manchester City captains for the 2026-27 season. All that was unknown was who would be joining them in City's captaincy group. Enzo Maresca has revealed who will be joining Haaland and Dias in City's captaincy group. On first glance, Maresca has made two obvious and quality choices when naming the other two players who will complete Manchester City's captaincy quartet.
Enzo Maresca faced the media earlier today ahead of Manchester City's upcoming Premier League fixture against Coventry City at the Etihad Stadium. The Manchester City manager was asked what new signing Enzo Fernandez would bring to Maresca's squad and if the Argentinian midfielder would be in Manchester City's captaincy group for the upcoming season. While answering what Fernandez adds to City's squad, Maresca also revealed who Manchester City's four captains would be. He said: "I know Enzo quite well, I know what he can bring. He's a winner, he has a winning mentality, World Cup, Club World Cup. The main thing is that he's a winner." Captain? "No, the captain is Ruben, Erling, Marc Guehi and Gigi Donnarumma."
Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland were obvious choices to be two of Manchester City's captains for this season. They were in City's leadership group last season and were two clear stand-out candidates to return to their posts under Enzo Maresca. The question was who would join them. Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi are the players who claimed that ***** le.
Both of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi are quality leaders. Marc Guehi was Crystal Palace's captain before he joined City. Guehi leads by example in a quiet and unassuming manner and his leadership style do combine well with Haaland and Dias. Gianluigi Donnarumma is a pillar at the back for City. He is a vociferous character and he does set the tone in goal. It is often Donnarumma who celebrates his teammates defensive contributions and his is key pillar of this City side.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marc Guehi, Erling Haaland, and Ruben Dias will form Manchester City's captaincy group for the 2026-27 season. Each player brings their own strengths to the role and they will be hoping to lead Manchester City to success this season.

Chicago State University kicked off a new chapter in its history Saturday, taking the field for its first-ever college football game as it opened its inaugural season at SeatGeek Stadium against Roosevelt University.
Tailgates, grills and enthusiastic fans filled the stadium grounds ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, which drew alumni, students and supporters eager to witness the program's debut.
For some Chicago State alumni, the moment was years in the making.
"There was promises of it when we were in school 20 years ago and it didn't happen so 20 years later to see it were excited," said Chicago State alumni Tameca and Jordonna.
Others said they wanted to support the university as it launches its new program.

Others said they wanted to support the university as it launches its new program.

Enzo Maresca hailed Rayan Cherki's "unbelievable" performance in Manchester City's 4-1 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Friday.
City boss Maresca admitted Cherki was frustrated to be left out of the starting line-up for last weekend's 2-1 win against Bournemouth in their Premier League opener.
The France midfielder responded to the snub in emphatic style.
He came off the bench to provide a pair of **** ists against Bournemouth and seized his chance to start at Selhurst Park with a masterful display that underlined his qualities.
The 23-year-old bagged a brace after an own goal from City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had cancelled out Erling Haaland's opener in rainy south London.

Manchester City faced off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a positive result on the road in the Premier League. The Mancunian giants made a quick start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 17th minute thanks to Erling Haaland's goal. Enzo Maresca's men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Rayan Cherki doubled his team's advantage in the 54th minute. However, Crystal Palace got a goal back due to an unfortunate own goal from Gianluigi Donnarumma just a couple of minutes later. Cherki struck again in the 59th minute before Haaland killed the game off in the 84th minute. The match ended with Man City earning a dominant 4-1 win away from home.
Let's take a look at how each Manchester City player fared during the clash against the Eagles.
Donnarumma failed to make a save at the back and couldn't do much about Yeremy Pino's free-kick.
RB: Abdukodir Khusanov – 7/10

Deja Kelly wasn't sure what to expect when she signed with the Charlotte Crown back in May.
After playing her college ball at Oregon and North Carolina, Kelly spent some time in training camp with the Las Vegas Aces in 2025, played in Athletes Unlimited last winter, and also worked in television for the Big Ten Network. As summer approached, she wanted to keep playing basketball, but knew options were limited - especially if she wanted to play in the U.S. where her friends and family could watch her.
Then the Upshot League started, of which the Crown are one of four teams in its inaugural season. Founded by former WNBA president Donna Orender and backed by Zawyer Sports and Entertainment, the Upshot League sought to fill a gap in the U.S. women's basketball ecosystem by providing an environment in which the players squeezed out by the WNBA's limited roster sizes could still play team basketball, develop their skills and get paid for it.
While not affiliated with the WNBA, a simple way of thinking about the Upshot League is that it's the women's basketball equivalent of the NBA's G League.
"Whenever you're part of something for the first time, it's kind of nerve-wracking because it could be all over the place. It could go either way," Kelly told USA TODAY Sports. "I think overall, once we ironed out all the wrinkles, this is really high-level basketball. The talent level is there, so it's really good competition every single night. That's something that definitely exceeded my expectations.

The Italian edition of Vogue might not hold the prestige that it once did under the late great Franca Sozzani, but that doesn't stop Francesca Ragazzi from dropping covers starring a bevy of buzz-worthy talent. After all, names like Vittoria Ceretti, Madonna, Bella Hadid, and Sabrina Carpenter have graced the cover of the Italian fashion bible of late. Next up on the cover of Vogue Italia is Dua Lipa, who graces the September 2026 issue of the magazine. The British-Albanian singer-songwriter makes her Italian Vogue debut via the lens of the photographer Carlijn Jacobs. Shot on location in New York, the Grammy Award-winning star is styled by Imruh Asha, dripping in diamonds and rubies from Bulgari.

Madonna's ex Guy Ritchie reportedly took advantage of Meghan Markle's current controversy and shifted the spotlight to his own upcoming project. For those unversed, multiple reports have shared that the Sussexes are returning to the UK along with their children by the end of August. Simultaneously, there were rumors that the former actress would join Ritchie's Netflix series "The Gentlemen."
As per Rob Shuter's latest report, Guy Ritchie profited from speculation that Meghan Markle was attached to "The Gentlemen." While the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex are reportedly moving back to the UK, there has also been speculation that Markle is returning to acting.
Multiple outlets reported that she was in advanced talks to star in "The Gentlemen." However, interestingly, according to Rob Shuter, the talks were in their nascent stage.
No role has officially been offered, and Markle has not signed on the dotted line. Moreover, a few reports even hinted at whether Season 3 had even received a formal green light. The second season premieres on September 3, and Ritchie needed people to talk about it. Hence, he capitalized on Markle's recent news coverage and pivoted the conversation to his project.
The source dished: "Guy didn't need to cast Meghan — he needed people talking about The Gentlemen. And overnight, everybody was."

Enzo Maresca's Manchester City came from behind late on to win his first Premier League game in charge. It was also Marco Rose's managerial debut for Bournemouth.
Below is how I rated the players, and then how you rated the players.
What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean?
Gianluigi Donnarumma: Could do nothing about Bournemouth's opener but made superb saves to deny Justin Kluivert's low effort and Daniel Jebbison's flicked header. 6
Rico Lewis: Inverting into midfield from right-back, Lewis got forward and had an early effort saved but lacked quality overall before being taken off. 5

Manchester City host Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon in Enzo Maresca's first competitive Premier League match in charge of the club.
Maresca succeeds Pep Guardiola after a decade in which City won six league **** les and the Champions League. The Community Shield defeat to **** nal was a difficult beginning, and Sunday offers the first opportunity to put that result behind him.
Jeremy Doku will not feature. The Belgian winger aggravated a calf issue during the Community Shield defeat and has been ruled out for two to three weeks. Savinho is also unavailable, with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the works, and Omar Marmoush is expected to be in the same position should his own move to north London be finalised in time. Matheus Nunes is back in contention after sitting out the Community Shield with a minor muscle problem and could replace Abdukodir Khusanov at right-back.
With Doku sidelined, Maresca is expected to turn to Jack Grealish on the left flank, a role he filled after coming on in the Community Shield. Antoine **** yo, who joined from Bournemouth in January, operates on the opposite side, with Phil Foden retained centrally behind Erling Haaland. Elliot Anderson, a big-money summer signing, continues to partner Mateo Kovačić in central midfield as City look to bed in one of their most significant additions.
Haaland has scored seven goals in his last four Premier League opening weekends and 22 in just 14 appearances during the month of August throughout his career, giving City's attack a reliable focal point regardless of the upheaval elsewhere. Gianluigi Donnarumma continues in goal behind a back four of Nunes, Rúben Dias, Joško Gvardiol and Nico O'Reilly.

US pop star Madonna unexpectedly became the centre of a row between two Greek politicians on Saturday.
It began with a post on Facebook, in which the left-wing Member of Parliament (MP) Elena Akrita complained about special arrangements that were allegedly made on the holiday island of Corfu for the superstar's birthday party.
"According to a media report, residents in the village of Kouramades on Corfu were asked to close their windows, allegedly to protect Madonna's privacy from 'prying eyes,'" wrote Akrita.
If that were true, she continued, the question would not be whether Madonna had demanded it, but whether people had obeyed her. "Because this country is not a plantation in the south where we bend over to pick cotton so as not to spoil the lady's birthday," she posted.
Conservative Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis reacted immediately to the critical post by Akrita.

This week has been dominated by players either leaving Manchester City or edging closer to an exit from the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders. Rodri and Tijjani Reijnders have left City this week. Savinho is on the verge of completing his 'dream' move to Tottenham. There is also the real possibility that Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez could also depart City before the transfer window closes. Om top of that, Enzo Maresca's side was well beaten by **** nal 3-0 in the FA Community Shield last Sunday. All of these factors combined have seemingly dampened the excitement of a new season beginning.
However, this Sunday the Enzo Maresca era officially gets underway against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium. City will begin a new Premier League season at home. That is an exciting moment in itself. Despite the fact that players have left Manchester City this week and will do before the transfer window closes, Enzo Maresca has enough to work with to ensure that the early stages of the 2026-27 season can begin on a positive note.
Last season saw Pep Guardiola put the building blocks in place for the next era at Manchester City. Building team spirit and teaching the players City hope will continue Guardiola's legacy how to win trophies was the final act of Pep Guardiola as the Manchester City manager. Those lessons will now look to be carried over by Enzo Maresca.
The Enzo Maresca era didn't get off to the best start last weekend. Maresca's first official match in charge ended in a chastening 3-0 defeat to **** nal in the FA Community Shield. Whether or not the Community Shield is an official match or a glorified friendly is a matter of personal opinion. What isn't in dispute is the manner of City's defeat and the departures of key players or impending departures of others have taken focus off a new Premier League season starting this weekend.
Putting all of that aside, Manchester City take on Bournemouth this Sunday at the Etihad Stadium. In terms of what starting eleven Enzo Maresca could select, he has plenty of quality options to choose from. A possible starting eleven of Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol, Anderson, O'Reilly, Foden, Cherki, **** yo, and Erling Haaland is packed with quality. That seems to have been forgotten throughout this week.

St. Thomas Aquinas is all alone as the No. 1 team in Florida.
The Raiders received all 11 first-place votes in the USA Today Florida Network Super 25 heading into Week 1. Aquinas received eight first-place votes in the preseason poll.
Apparently, a dominant road win over a defending state champion in the Kickoff Classic was all the evidence voters needed to prove itself to the voters.
Aquinas raced out to a 36-0 halftime lead and beat Cardinal Mooney, the 2025 Class 3A state champion, 49-0 on Aug. 14.
IMG Academy, Chaminade-Madonna, Carol City and American Heritage round out the top five.

The Raiders received all 11 first-place votes in the USA Today Florida Network Super 25 heading into Week 1. Aquinas received eight first-place votes in the preseason poll.
Apparently, a dominant road win over a defending state champion in the Kickoff Classic was all the evidence voters needed to prove itself to the voters.
Aquinas raced out to a 36-0 halftime lead and beat Cardinal Mooney, the 2025 Class 3A state champion, 49-0 on Aug. 14.
IMG Academy, Chaminade-Madonna, Carol City and American Heritage round out the top five.
