Vin Burnham has made a name for herself as a costume designer behind some big Hollywood blockbusters and hits on both the stage and screen.
And her decades-long career has seen her collect a rich seam of stories, including the time she nearly accidentally delayed the filming of a Batman movie.
Burnham helped create the iconic Batsuit worn by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's Batman, which she later refined for the sequel Batman Returns.
On the very first day of filming Batman, she said she was in the dressing room getting the cowl ready when she mistakenly put her thumb through the front of it.
"There was only one and that is a complete crime," Burnham added.

On its third-quarter 2026 earnings call, held on Nov. 3, 2026, Eaton (NYSE:ETN) raised its full-year 2026 organic revenue growth guidance, which excludes acquisitions and currency shifts, to a midpoint of 14%.
Management also raised its full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance, a profit measure that excludes one-time items and non-cash expenses, to a midpoint of $13.75. Expanding factory capacity allows the company to convert a record backlog, which represents unfilled customer orders, into long-term margin expansion.
Three things management said stand out.
Eaton restructured its international operations early and expanded its product lineup in high-demand markets like data centers. Electrical Global, the division serving international power markets, sharply accelerated its organic growth by gaining share with the same global customers that Eaton serves in North America.
We now expect organic growth about 16% in 2026, well above our prior guidance, and more than double the 7% we delivered in 2025. This acceleration is no accident. It reflects deliberate strategic moves we made over the past few years.
-- Paulo Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer

The first full week of the 2026-27 NBA regular season has come and gone for the Boston Celtics, and it has been a busy one for the storied franchise. The Celtics notched their first three wins of the season against the reigning champion New York Knicks, the Chicago Bulls, and Brooklyn Nets after dropping their season opener to the Detroit Pistons the week prior, for starters.
The beef (or lamb chops and gravy or whatever we want to call it) between Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown not only took on new life, but picked up new combatants. Around the rest of the league, a number of teams have surprised early, others disappointed, and injuries are running rampant across the ******* ociation before we hit the month of November. To talk it all over and then some, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with Nets Wire editor Sharif Phillips-Keaton.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about a ******* py but mostly good start to the 2026-27 season.

Diane Keaton's former Laguna Beach, Calif., home and "last renovation project" has hit the market for $10.3 million
The current owners preserved most of Keaton's designs and have decided to sell as they need more ***** e for their growing family
Most recently, Keaton's L.A. "Pinterest House" sold for $18 million in August after years of renovations
Diane Keaton's former Laguna Beach, Calif., home has hit the market for $10.3 million nearly one year after her death.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom property was the star's "last renovation project" before her death at age 79 in October 2025, according to Luxre Realty agent Brooke Wainwright, who holds the listing with partner David Koffs.

On August 6, Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:WPM) reported second-quarter net earnings of $543 million on $929 million of revenue, both records. Through the first half, net earnings rose 106% to $1.1 billion. During the quarter, the company also made net upfront cash payments of $4.5 billion relative to mineral stream interests, and it now carries $2.0 billion of total debt against $100 million of cash on hand. Here is what that trade looks like up close.
Start with what the streaming model does when prices climb. Wheaton sold 14% more gold equivalent ounces than a year ago, but the average realized gold equivalent price jumped 61% in Q2, and that higher price explains most of the revenue surge. Costs per ounce rose from $406 to $568, yet the cash operating margin per ounce still grew 65% to $3,875, faster than gold itself appreciated. Operating cash flow hit $650 million in the quarter and $1.4 billion for the half.
The second argument is that plenty of growth hasn't arrived yet. Only about 3% of this year's production comes from **** ets still in construction or ramp-up, and the company forecasts a rise of roughly 50% to 1,200,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2030. Some of that ramp has dates attached. Ivanhoe now expects commercial production at Platreef in the fourth quarter of 2026, and Montage Gold is targeting first gold at Koné in late Q4. Effective April 1, Wheaton expanded its share of silver production from Antamina from 33.75% to 67.5% through the newly acquired BHP Antamina PMPA.
Growth on this scale wasn't free. Wheaton had no bank debt at the end of 2025. On April 1, it drew $1.5 billion on a new two-year term loan to help pay for Antamina, and finance costs that were negligible a year ago now take a real bite. Net debt stands at $1.9 billion. Taxes are heavier too. Wheaton paid $109 million of global minimum tax on June 24, and another Cdn$346 million is due around March 31, 2027.
Operations also gave investors a few reasons for caution. Gold ounces produced slipped 2.6% year over year, so the 6% rise in gold equivalent production leaned heavily on the Antamina purchase. Gold output at Salobo fell 11% on lower grades. At Constancia, it fell 35% after mining at the higher-grade Pampacancha pit finished in the fourth quarter of 2025. Hemlo Mining said on July 20 that its second-quarter output fell below the first quarter's, and Rio2 said on May 15 that Fenix missed planned tonnes and grade in Q1. And because the revenue jump came mainly from price, the same leverage works in reverse if metals slip.

The Chargers will take the field for the first time in 2026 with an opening weekend matchup against the Cardinals on deck.
Here's what Los Angeles needs to do on offense to come away with a win.
One of the biggest appeals of hiring Mike McDaniel this offseason to coordinate the offense is what it might do for Herbert, who is being lauded as a potential MVP candidate with McDaniel's system attached. Chargers fans caught a glimpse of what that could look like in the preseason game against the Rams when Herbert hit Quentin Johnston for a long-range touchdown. A full game of Herbert operating the McDaniel offense should be a thing of beauty, but both men will need to show that this marriage lives up to the hype in order for Sunday to feel like a success.
McDaniel put up wanted posters for fullback Alec Ingold and running back Keaton Mitchell in the Chargers facility before LA was able to sign both players, in addition to adding tight ends Charlie Kolar and David Njoku. Sunday will be LA's first chance to show why those players in particular make this offense hum - what sort of usage does Ingold see as a fullback? Is Kolar going to be a more well-rounded receiving threat? What does the rotation look like between Kolar, Njoku, and second-year player Oronde Gadsden II? How much will Mitchell eat into Omarion Hampton's touches? The Chargers should be looking for proof of concept in Week 1, and that will come by answering at least a few of those questions and introducing fans to some of their new contributors on offense.
An interior offensive line of left guard Kayode Awosika, rookie second-round pick center Jake Slaughter, and right guard Cole Strange isn't anything to write home about, but McDaniel has made do with seemingly substandard trios on the inside before. Nolen looked like a potential game-wrecker in limited action for Arizona last season and now returns as the cornerstone of a defensive line who will look to take advantage of what has to be LA's greatest weakness on offense. If the Chargers can keep Nolen from making a big impact by sending help towards him and getting the ball out quickly to start the game, they should be able to keep things humming on offense.

The Princess of Wales looked stylish as ever for a milestone family moment on Tuesday. It's a momentous day for Prince William and Princess Kate who dropped their son Prince George off for his first day of secondary school at the prestigious Eton College today.
The royal couple braved the rain as they accompanied their 13-year-old, who looked so distinguished in his suit and tie, to the campus in Berkshire this morning. Kate was every inch the proud mum as she stood next to her grown-up son beneath an umbrella to meet with Eaton's head master, Simon Henderson, and Sir Nicholas Coleridge, the school's Provost.
The Princess of Wales was glamorous as ever as she braved the rain in a flattering green midi dress that cinched at the waist. The long-sleeved dress, which looked to be the Emilia Wickstead design she wore in 2023 while hosting Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince Daniel at Windsor Castle, featured a rounded neckline and fell to below the knee in an A-line silhouette with a floaty skirt that swished as she walked. Kate

The Boston Red Sox made a late-season roster move Sunday, calling up utility player Nate Eaton rather than top prospect Kristian Campbell.
Interim manager Chad Tracy explained the decision, noting that Eaton is simply the better option in the outfield right now. Eaton has appeared in 14 games with Boston this season, posting a .125 batting average with one home run, five RBIs and two stolen bases across 32 at-bats.

His value is not in his bat but in his glove, as he has shown the ability to play third base, center field, right field, shortstop, left field, designated hitter and second base at the big-league level.
Campbell, 24, remains at Triple-A Worcester, where the Red Sox want him getting consistent at-bats rather than sitting on a bench in a limited role.

Division III powerhouse Mount Union lost its first regular-season game since 2016 on Saturday.
The Purple Raiders fell 24-23 to Wheaton in their 2026 season-opener after Wheaton blocked a game-tying extra point with 22 seconds to go. Mount Union's Kayden Minner scored on a 1-yard run ahead of the failed extra point, and the Purple Raiders elected to go for the tie and potential overtime instead of what could have been a game-winning two-point conversion.
After blocking the PAT, Wheaton then recovered Mount Union's onside kick.
The loss snapped a regular-season win streak that lasted 85 games. Before Saturday, the last time Mount Union lost a non-playoff game was on Nov. 12, 2016, when John Carroll scored a 31-28 win. Most of the members of that Mount Union team are now in their 30s.
Mount Union made the semifinals of the D3 playoffs that season and won the 2017 national ****** le with a 15-0 season. Since then, the team has, remarkably, not won a national championship as the regular-season win streak lived on. Over the past six full seasons, Mount Union has lost the Stagg Bowl three times and was eliminated in the third round of the Division III playoffs in 2025 after an 11-0 start.

Patricia Heaton says Hollywood conservatives once felt so uncomfortable discussing their political beliefs at work that they created a secret group to find out who was "safe" to talk to on set.
The Everybody Loves Raymond alum, 68, opened up about Friends of Abe, a private network of conservatives in the entertainment industry during the August 24 episode of Andrew Gold's Heretics podcast.
"There were a lot of people that felt like they couldn't say anything who were conservative. And we ended up having to make a secret group," Heaton explained.
The former star of The Middle said the organization became known as FOA, or Friends of Abe, a reference to Abraham Lincoln, and members had a discreet way of figuring out if someone else had a similar political mindset.
"So you could say to somebody, 'Are you a friend of Abe?' Or, 'Are you FOA?' And if they said, 'Yeah,' then you knew there was another conservative or independent or, you know, or someone who is not a Democrat," she continued.

Audrey Hepburn was a legendary actor and humanitarian. But she was also a major fashion and beauty muse who made a huge impact on Hollywood and pop culture, even long after her death. In fact, some of Audrey Hepburn's biggest skincare secrets are still so useful today. What you may not have known, however, is that she has an equally gorgeous and talented granddaughter named Emma Ferrer (full name Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer). Ferrer shares many similar traits with her famous grandmother, including the fact that they both studied ballet and pursued artistic endeavors. However, Ferrer took a different path, pursuing visual arts rather than acting, and she has a sleek signature style all her own.
Theo Wargo/Getty
Hepburn was often known for wearing cigarette pants, turtlenecks, and flats that were sleek and very trendy at the time. For her more formal looks, Hepburn was often seen in elegant and feminine A-line gowns (though column dresses were also a favorite of hers). Ferrer, though, has played around with more modern styles and doesn't shy away from shorter, form-fitting dresses and strappy heels — quite a departure from her grandmother's wardrobe. The artist has also shared photos of her outfits on Instagram, where she favors casual, menswear-inspired styles (much like Diane Keaton's iconic "Annie Hall" look).

Aug. 29—I got about 8 minutes with Illinois coach Brad Underwood ahead of Wednesday's 25th Annual Illini Rebounders/Lou Henson Golf Outing. A short conversation he squeezed in before heading off to the ninth hole at Atkins Golf Club to hit some celebrity shots for the 38 groups playing in the outing.
It wasn't even entirely clear if I'd get that opportunity. I made the trip to Urbana mostly to see and be seen and got a chance to catch up with most of the Illinois coaching staff. Mission accomplished. The short conversation with Underwood was a bonus, that just so happened to deliver some and a few thoughts from the Illinois coach on the he was able to ******* emble.
Underwood spent a bit more time with CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein for his latest episode of "Inside College Basketball Now" on Thursday. Topics of conversation included Illinois' Final Four run, this year's team, which player might make the biggest leap and moving on without Keaton Wagler.

Head coach Lane Kiffin put together a talented roster ahead of his first season leading LSU football. Six of those players, returners and transfers, were recognized as being among the best in the game on ESPN's top-100 college players list.
LSU signed the nation's top transfer portal class, bringing in over 40 transfers. The new crop includes the portal's top player in quarterback Sam Leavitt and the top offensive lineman in Jordan Seaton. Kiffin also brought Princewill Umanmielen and others over from Ole Miss, where he coached for six seasons.
The Tigers also retained some of their biggest weapons from last year. Tight end Trey'Dez Green and linebacker Whit Weeks will run it back as well as freshman All-American cornerback DJ Pickett. The future NFL stars will attempt to take LSU back to the postseason for the first time since 2019, when Joe Burrow led the program to the national championship.
Offseason buzz puts LSU among the best programs in the nation with College Football Playoff expectations. Whether it can knock off some of the SEC ****** ans on its schedule remains to be seen but the talent on the team is undeniable.
Here are the six players named to ESPN's top-100 college football players list.

The Brooklyn Nets are about one month away from their training camp that will prepare them for a 2026-27 season that they hope will be better to watch than the previous campaign. Heading into the 2026 NBA offseason, Brooklyn made various moves to improve the roster, including trading for Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle to bolster the starting lineup.
Now that the Nets are done with the 2026 NBA Draft, summer league circuit, and free-agency, the focus now is making sure everyone is ready to put their best foot forward next season. Randle will be joining sharpshooting forward Michael Porter Jr. as the main offensive engines while being flanked by young guards Mikel Brown Jr. and Egor Demin along with center Day'Ron Sharpe.
Head coach Jordi Fernandez and general manager Sean Marks are heading into the third year of their partnership and both are likely hoping for more wins and more development for the youngest players on the team. This article will be a crossover between Nets Wire and Ky Carlin of Sixers Wire to discuss the Nets and how they stack up against the Philadelphia 76ers:
Sharif Phillips-Keaton, Nets Wire: That should be the goal for next season given that the Nets won't have their pick for next year, but the Eastern Conference has gotten better as a whole this summer. It's entirely possible that Brooklyn wins more games next season than they did this past season and still finish the year as one of the worst teams in the league. There is too much talent and experience in the Eastern Conference.
Ky Carlin, Sixers Wire: I think it's fair to see the Nets be a bit more competitive in the coming season. They've won 20 and 26 games in the previous two seasons, respectively, and it's time for this franchise to take another step forward. The front office has gathered some nice, young pieces, and it will be on coach Jordi Fernandez and the veterans to help them grow, but Brooklyn has to take a step forward at some point, and this year feels like that year.

When you find out an actor whose work you enjoy is blatantly racist and antisemitic in real life, does that realization ruin every movie they've been a part of?
What about an author who has expressed harmful opinions about a marginalized group? What about a smart, witty comedian who turns out to be a serial ******* ual ******* aulter? Where do you draw the line between a creator and their creation? As someone with his feet in both worlds, actor Wil Wheaton weighed in on that question and offered a refreshingly reasonable perspective back in 2021.
"Question: I have more of an opinion question for you. When fans of things hear about misconduct happening on sets/behind-the-scenes are they allowed to still enjoy the thing? Or should it be boycotted completely? Example: I've been a major fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer since I was a teenager and it was currently airing. I really nerded out on it and when I lost my Dad at age 16. 'The Body' episode had me in such cathartic tears. Now we know about Joss Whedon. I haven't rewatched a single episode since his behavior came to light. As a fan, do I respectfully have to just box that away? Is it disrespectful of the actors that went through it to knowingly keep watching?"

TUSCULUM, Tenn. (WJHL) — The college football season will get underway for its 78th year on Thursday night when the Tusculum Pioneers host Bluefield State University at Pioneer Field.
Third-year head coach Billy Taylor returns 42 lettermen from last year's squad who gained valuable playing time and experience. Tusculum will also feature several new faces on this year's roster, including transfers at key positions like quarterback.
The recent results have not been what they wanted, posting a 2-18 record over the last two seasons. However, now that most of these players have significantly more experience, they are hoping to turn things around.
"I think the leadership that we have on this team, I think we have a lot of guys that came in and guys that were already here step up. I think the leadership is going to be the biggest difference between last year and this year," quarterback Tedros Gleaton said.
"We're as one, you know what I mean?" linebacker Camron Garnett said. "So I feel like it's not offense, defense, or special teams, we're all in this together. I feel like the leadership role and just the grit we have is our overall strength."

Interested in Eaton Vance Risk-Managed Diversified Equity Income Fund? Here are five stocks we like better.
Closed-end funds can offer high monthly dividend yields while diversifying away the company-specific risk tied to individual high-yield stocks.
ETJ, MEGI, and ARDC provide yields of 9.3%, 9.9%, and 10.9%, respectively, but each carries distinct fees, strategies, and risks.
Investors should weigh trade-offs such as MEGI's 2033 liquidation date, high expense ratios, and exposure to below-investment-grade debt in ARDC.
Ultra-high dividend yields for individual stocks may appeal to investors seeking additional income—after all, who doesn't want high dividend payments? At the same time, though, a very high yield can sometimes be a giant red flag for investors. If the yield is high because of a value trap in which the price of the stock is failing and the company is distressed, there is a growing risk of either a dividend cut or a continued decline to share price, or both.

"Family Ties" launched Michael J. Fox into fame, but it also introduced many people to his stunning wife, Tracy Pollan. Pollan landed the role of Ellen Reed, the love interest of Fox's character Alex Keaton. The New York-born actor made her mark after filming one season of the '80s sitcom, and despite becoming her husband's caretaker, she's worked on different shows and movies in the following decades. "Family Ties" fans definitely know what the cast looks like today, but they might need a reminder that Pollan is such a beauty without makeup in her 60s.
In March 2025, the actor posted on Instagram to wish her friend Jennifer Grey a happy birthday. Pollan and the "Dirty Dancing" star took a selfie outdoors with both of their hands resting under their chins. Pollan' cheeks looked smooth as she gave a close-mouthed smile. She had slight signs of aging around the mouth and the eyes, but her forehead also seemed pretty creaseless. The wind blowing on her hair also made the "Family Ties" alum look effortlessly gorgeous.

The Chargers dropped their second preseason game on Thursday, falling to the 49ers by a final score of 41-17. Justin Herbert and the starting offense played one series, in which they went three-and-out, and the starting defense technically played one series as well, albeit without Khalil Mack, Derwin James Jr., or first-round pick Akheem Mesidor.
Here's what to take away from the game.
It's becoming increasingly apparent this preseason that the Chargers have a problem behind Justin Herbert. Neither Trey Lance nor DJ Uiagalelei were impressive on Thursday, combining for 17-of-31 passing for 153 yards and a touchdown, which Uiagalelei was credited with after receiver Jerand Bradley was not touched down and jogged into the end zone. Lance did rip off a 37-yard scramble, which accounted for more than half of LA's rushing yards on the night, but neither player looks capable of holding up for long if Herbert has to miss time. Then again, for a team like LA, things will go sideways if Herbert is hurt anyway, so it remains to be seen if the Chargers will address this hole on their roster or if they'll keep the status quo.
Undrafted rookie Avery Smith had his second standout game in a row as he competes with Nikko Reed and Eric Rogers for the last spot in the cornerback room. Smith tied for the team lead with 6 tackles, which included another ferocious run stop at the line of scrimmage, and was sticky in coverage even if San Francisco completed more passes on him than Houston did last week. But his fellow undrafted rookie Rodney Shelley is pushing the envelope, too, breaking up two passes and logging four tackles as he looks to put his name in that competition. Smith did incur a holding penalty in the end zone on fourth-and-goal, and Shelley was around the ball a lot on Thursday because he was frequently targeted, so both still have room to improve, but their stock has to be pointing up after their performances.
If you take out Gregory Desrosiers' 4 carries for 21 yards, all of which came late in the fourth quarter when San Francisco led 41-9, Chargers running backs combined for 10 yards on 13 carries on Thursday. Omarion Hampton lost a yard on his only carry, a toss play to the right. Keaton Mitchell lost a yard on his three carries. Kimani Vidal churned 6 yards in 4 tries. Amar Johnson lost a yard on two carries after scoring twice last week. Jaret Patterson was the least ineffective of the bunch, racking up 7 yards on 3 attempts. Part of that falls on run blocking, which was spottier than it was last week, but it also seemed like LA's running backs were trying to stretch plays rather than look for cutback lanes at times.

BATON ROUGE – When he took over LSU football back in December, Lane Kiffin knew that help was going to be needed along the offensive line.
Not just the pursuit, and eventual landing, of top-rated transfer portal offensive tackle in Jordan Seaton from Colorado, but bodies were going to be needed, depth was going to be a necessity.
According to Kiffin through the Tigers' first 14 practices of fall camp, that depth piece of the offensive line hasn't matriculated quite yet.

Eight LSU football players landed on the preseason Coaches' All-SEC team. That's the third-most total, after Georgia and Texas with 11 apiece, then Oklahoma with 10. The Tigers tied with the Longhorns for the most first-team selections with five each.
Tight end Trey'Dez Green, offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, defensive lineman Princewill Umanmielen, linebacker Whit Weeks and punter Grant Chadwick landed on the first team. Cornerback DJ Pickett is on the second team while safety Ty Benefield and center Braelin Moore are on the third team.
A mix of veterans from the 2025 roster and the transfer portal, along with young stars, characterizes this year's LSU team. Its All-SEC selections reflect that as well. Weeks and Moore fought through injuries with the Tigers last year, both returning to lead the purple and gold in its first year under head coach Lane Kiffin.
Umanmielen played under Kiffin at Ole Miss last year, ending the year as a third-team All-SEC selection. Chadwick also earned a spot on the All-SEC third team last year as LSU's punter. Benefield and Seaton came to Baton Rouge as two of the top players out of the transfer portal.

Patricia Heaton has revealed the moment that led her to go sober, explaining it left her "mortified".
The Everybody Loves Raymond alum's daily wine habit turned into problematic drinking during a period of her life when her usual routine had been disrupted.
"My children had left home and I wasn't working. The things that had always anchored me - my family and my work - were gone," Patricia, 68, told Woman's World magazine. "I started thinking, 'What am I supposed to do today?'"
The actress, whose sitcom credits also include The Middle, recalled how her drinking habits slowly escalated.
"A glass of wine while cooking became wine with dinner, wine while cleaning up and wine while watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!," she explained. "One night I realised I had almost finished an entire bottle by myself."
At that point, Patricia said, she knew something had shifted in her attitude to drinking, and she turned to religion in hopes of finding an answer.
