Kellon Deryck will never forget the day he met Megan Thee Stallion. It was 8 years ago, and the celebrity hairstylist was trying to keep it professional on his first job with the rapper. But Megan wasn't having it, he recalls, laughing.
"I'm normally pretty shy when I first meet someone, so the first day we worked together, I was quiet; I was just there to do my job," he explains. "She **** near tickled me into laughing and talking like, 'Who is this up in here? Who are you?' She made me show my personality. She pulled it out of me." And from that day forward, they were inseparable.
"Even when we're not at work, we're on FaceTime talking about what we're about to do next or how our night was, what we ate, and what TikTok we're about to do, and what food we want to try," says Deryck. "We literally do everything together."

The Boston-born, Atlanta-bred hair pro has been behind some of Megan's most unforgettable hair moments, from 2025's Met Gala, for which he crafted an artful, architectural copper-red ponytail inspired by Josephine Baker, to the towering, out-of-this-world sculptural updo he molded for InStyle's September cover. "I always know what story she's trying to tell with her hair," Deryck explains. And over the years, he and Megan, ever the hair chameleon, have done nearly "every kind of look." Their résumé runs the gamut from candy-colored finger waves and Marie Antoinette poufs to jet-black clouds of curls, glossy flipped bobs, Old Hollywood waves, and Rapunzel-length tumbles. His work has even made its way into Megan's lyrics: In "Don't Stop," she raps, "40-inch weave by Kellon, don't tangle."

NEW YORK (AP) — The Alex Eala fans came bearing Filipino flags, and wearing hats telling her to fight on ("Laban Alex"). They cheered her sizzling groundstrokes, documented her volleys and serves in photos and video, and in some cases FaceTimed with friends or family.
And this was only at the practice courts.
It was about four hours before Eala was to take the court for her first-round U.S. Open match Monday night, and every seat at the practice court was filled. Many of Eala's fans didn't have tickets for the evening session. But they'd come to see their idol hit some tennis ******* .
It was hardly surprising, given the enormous, ardent, ever-growing fan base that now surrounds the charismatic 21-year-old. This summer has seen Eala beat Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon and win her first tour singles ******* le, at Washington. She's at a career-best 18th in the world, and many think she'll continue her ascent.
One of the fans watching on a rainy afternoon was Andrea Belen, at 21 the same age as Eala. Belen, a premed student at New York University, explained that she hadn't been a big tennis fan until Eala came along — someone who looked just like her.

Miami running back Jordan Lyle was estimated to be driving 130 mph while attempting to flee a traffic stop in South Florida last month, according to a probable cause affidavit released on Tuesday, via the Miami Herald.
Lyle was arrested last week on charges of aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement, each of which are felony complaints in Florida. He is also facing a misdemeanor complaint of reckless driving.
He turned himself into the Sunrise Police Department on Thursday after an arrest warrant was issued. He was then released on bond that same day.
According to the report, Lyle was spotted driving north on the Sawgrass Expressway shortly after 7 p.m. on July 10 and was clocked by an officer driving 92 mph. The speed limit in the area is just 65 mph. When the officer tried to pull Lyle over, Lyle allegedly sped up and got to as fast as 130 mph while making "rapid, abrupt and unsafe lane changes to maneuver between vehicles." At one point, Lyle allegedly made a U-turn from a through lane after exiting the expressway.
Eventually, the officer turned off his lights and sirens and let him go to avoid further danger. An investigation later determined that the car was registered to Lyle, and it was linked to him via his parents' home surveillance system. Police spoke to Lyle via FaceTime on July 15, and he arrived at the police department with a lawyer to give a sworn statement later that day.

David Davidov said he stood for 20 seconds in shocked silence when a longtime customers Facetimed him this summer to show off a once-in-a-lifetime prize that had come from his strip-mall store west of Boca Raton.
It was a unicorn in the world of baseball trading cards: a 2026 Shohei Ohtani Topps Chrome card, the only one made.
It features the Los Angeles Dodger's signature in both English and Kanji, characters used in the ***** anese writing system. In the center of the card there are two game worn Major League Baseball logo jersey patches marking Ohtani's consecutive National League MVP awards in 2024 and 2025.
It's become one of the world's most expensive sports cards. The person who scored the card later sold it to the online network Secure Collectibles for $11 million.
People come to Boca Sports Cards all the time to buy a pack of baseball cards, which can range from $7 to $500, but since the unicorn emerged, Davidov said his business, in the Sandalwood Plaza shopping center along State Road 7, has welcomed a revolving door of new and old customers and the phone hasn't stopped ringing as others hope to capture some magic of their own.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor became a grandfather again following the news that his daughter Princess Eugenie welcomed her third child last week. However, the disgraced former Duke of York is reportedly 'unlikely' to see his newborn granddaughter, a royal author has claimed.
After being stripped of his royal **** les last year following renewed scrutiny over his links to convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew retreated from public life and has been living in exile on his brother King Charles' Sandringham estate. Meanwhile, his daughters, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, have continued to lie low as they navigate the ongoing media scrutiny surrounding their father and mother, Sarah Ferguson.
"Relations with their father are particularly fractured and complex as daughters take on board each new disturbing disclosure about Andrew," Andrew Lownie, author of Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York, alleged to the Daily Mail.

Nick Cannon understands the absurdity of the amount of children he has, and now he has filmed a comedy sketch about the lengths he's willing to go to avoid paying child support.
"Nick, it's time to pay child support," his girlfriend Bre Tiesi says at the start of the comedy skit, which can be seen below. "Como say what?" he replies, seemingly shocked. She insists that he needs to pay up, only for him to respond in Amish garb, "No, I don't, I'm Amish." She's confused about what that has to do with her request, and he pivots to blaming a vaccine and then suggesting that he doesn't have to pay if he has over ten children.
Cannon has 12 children with six different women, but as Tiesi points out, his excuse about not having to pay up because of the number of kids he has would only apply in foreign countries. He then vanishes and gives her a FaceTime call from China, showing just how far he's willing to go to not pay child support.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
This isn't the first time Cannon and Tiesi—who share one child together, Legendary Love Cannon—have filmed a skit about their relationship. Back in 2023, they shared a video in which he jokes about her making more money than him.

Ryan Reynolds stayed connected with his family while secretly exploring San Diego Comic-Con dressed as a denim-clad Deadpool.
Blake Lively shared a screenshot from a July 26 FaceTime call involving Reynolds and their 3-year-old son, Olin. The image offered a rare glimpse of the couple's youngest child, although Lively continued protecting his privacy by covering his face with a bear emoji.
Olin was reading a Captain America book when Reynolds called from the convention, still wearing part of the costume that had allowed him to walk among fans without being recognized.
Reynolds later carried the disguise into Marvel Studios' Hall H presentation, where he interrupted an Avengers: Doomsday panel and jokingly attempted to secure Deadpool a role in the completed movie.

Tennessee **** ans coach Robert Saleh had the following message to share with San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan before the start of training camp as Shanahan is dealing with non-life-threatening injuries sustained in a car crash earlier this month that are keeping him away from the 49ers facility on a limited basis.
Saleh said he has spoken with Shanahan since the accident.
"I talked to him a couple days after it happened," Saleh said. "He's very fortunate. We're all very fortunate that he's still here. I know just talking to him and his wife Mandy. (What) you see now, isn't what it was two weeks ago.
"Thank God he's OK. Thank God his family is in tact. He's doing great. He looks great. Saw him on FaceTime a couple days ago. The surgeon did a great job. Not easy for him to go through what he went through."
Shanahan and Saleh have a history that dates back to 2006 when Saleh was a quality control coach with the Houston Texans and Shanahan was the team's wide receivers coach. Shanahan hired Saleh as his first defensive coordinator upon becoming San Francisco's coach in 2017, then re-hired Saleh ahead of the 2025 season for a second stint with the 49ers. In total, Saleh and Shanahan have worked together across nine NFL seasons.

A tour guide who takes Beatles fans around Liverpool told how fans were stunned to see Sir Paul McCartney while waiting at traffic lights.
The chance encounter got even more surreal, when the Fab Four fans realised Sir Paul was at that very moment talking to fellow Beatle Ringo Starr on a video call.
"It was surreal," said Neil Morton, who has driven the Magical Mystery Tour bus around various Beatles sights in Liverpool for the last two years.
"I had pulled up at the traffic lights on Hope Street when who should I see - Sir Paul with Ringo on Facetime", he added.
"He waved to us and everybody took photos," Morton said.

Terence Crawford is pushing back on Conor McGregor’s claims that he turned down a $200 million offer to fight “The Notorious” in boxing and MMA, but his current comments don’t quite line up with what he said about the fight two years ago.
According to McGregor, Saudi boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh was trying to set up a two-fight $200 million deal where he and “Bud” would compete in both combat sports. A lot of MMA fighters have crossed over into boxing, but it’s much rarer for boxers to cross over into MMA. It didn’t work out well for James Toney, although Ray Mercer did KO former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia in 2009.
As Crawford saw it, there were some talks but an offer never came in.
“That was a lie. It was cap,” Crawford said on the Ariel Helwani Show. “It wasn’t never no $200 million offer. Now they asked me what I do, and I told them. I said, ‘Man, you ain’t about to be kicking on me, Conor.’ Because we was on FaceTime, and I did tell them that. But they didn’t say, ‘Hey, you got $200 million [if] you fight ’em in boxing and fight them in MMA.’ That was never the case.”
“If it was just said to me, then I could say it was a offer. But if if nothing is previewed to me, I can’t say what is what. He’s making up numbers, in my head.”

Social media influencer and professional golfer Paige Spiranac has become the focus of internet wrath over complaining about people using FaceTime in public on speakerphone at maximum volume.
On her page on X, she noted that having FaceTime conversations "at max volume in public deserves jail time."
The message found a lot of support among internet users, who showed their agreement with the complaint by liking and commenting under the post, suggesting different kinds of punishment for those using speakerphones. These punishments included hard work and even taking away people's devices.
Several users shared their frustration with people talking loudly on their phones in public places. One of them mentioned that oversharing private conversations in public was a symptom of "main character syndrome" and added that "it's boggling" how excited some people get about telling everyone around everything about themselves.
One more user joked that there should be jail cells for loud FaceTime speakers right next to jail cells for people playing music in public without earphones.

The Terrion Arnold news could have the Cowboys and Lions talking about a trade. What's going to happen to the former first-round pick regarding his felony kidnapping and robbery charges remains to be seen, but his release has left Detroit with a hole in their secondary... and Dallas suddenly finds themselves in a position to do a deal. To top today's Cowboys headlines, we explore why Caelen Carson might bring the best return in a swap with the Lions.
Elsewhere in Cowboys Nation, we get to know Curtis Robinson, the newly-added veteran linebacker who may be flying under fans' radars, and we learn that a new poll has the Cowboys coming in second when it comes to identifying who is truly "America's Team."
Looking at the Cowboys' upcoming opponents, it's worth noting that Micah Parsons not only played in but won a star-studded pickleball tournament recently. While Parsons is expected to miss the first four games of the season for the Packers, he's certainly making moves toward getting back on the field. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk may have blown his chances with the Commanders, and the Rams are looking very much like the team to beat in 2026.
Elsewhere in the league, the NFL's kickoff weekend may suddenly have a scheduling conflict. Republicans have just announced a midterm convention- to be held in Dallas- that will clash with the first two games of the NFL's primetime schedule: the Sept. 9 Patriots-Seahawks kickoff, and the Sept. 10 Rams-49ers tilt being played in Melbourne, Australia. No word yet on whether either side will budge. We're learning more about Dianna Russini's wild story where she supposedly FaceTimed an NFL coach during a traffic stop. Bodycam video shows a different reality... and actually pulls the Minnesota Vikings and quarterback J.J. McCarthy into the drama, too.

Newly released police body-cam footage reveals former NFL reporter Dianna Russini was caught on camera trying to name-drop her way out of a traffic ticket - and appearing to contradict a previous tale she shared about the incident.
Russini, who is married, resigned from her job at The Athletic in April after tabloid photos showed her hugging and holding hands with married New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, drawing scrutiny over her relationships with top NFL officials.
After the scandal broke, an anecdote she shared on a podcast about getting out of a traffic ticket resurfaced - where she had claimed she evaded punishment by allowing the police officer to FaceTime with the coach of his favorite NFL team.
However, body camera footage obtained by news website The Center Square Monday paints a different picture of the traffic stop in Ridgewood, New Jersey, this past January. In the footage, the journalist is seen behind the wheel after being pulled over for using her phone while driving. The footage shows Russini explaining that she was texting because of a breaking news story.
"I'm an NFL reporter, and I just broke that Sean McDermott got fired from the Bills. And that what I was just sending to send, a tweet. I was gonna pull over, because I have to make calls. I know you don't care, but I'm just letting you know my reason why. It was a working thing, it was an emergency for what I do," Russini is heard telling the officer on the body-cam footage.

June 20 (Reuters) - Days after scoring in Norway's 4-1 win over Iraq, Norway defender Leo Ostigard has become a father, following the birth of his first child over FaceTime as he continues his World Cup campaign with the squad.
Ostigard, who has been receiving parenting tips from teammate Erling Haaland, provided long-distance support to his partner Aurora Eidmann as she gave birth to their son on Friday.
"I'm completely exhausted myself, it was absolutely amazing. She did so well, there wasn't much I could say, I just had to help her work and get him out. I'm proud, amazing," the 26-year-old said in a video published by the Norwegian FA on its social media channels.
"When I saw him for the first time, I was blown away. It's absolutely insane. I'm so happy and proud. It's definitely the greatest thing I've ever experienced," he told reporters.
Ostigard told reporters that shortly after his son was born, the family's peace was broken by a knock on his hotel room door.

It’s been nearly two months since Fernando Mendoza officially became a quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders. Tom Brady owns a 5% stake in the franchise and is the most popular name attached to the team’s ownership.
Mendoza recently met with the Raiders for the first time at the combine. While he shook hands with everyone available, Brady was on FaceTime to welcome the 2026 No. 1 draft pick to his new home.
The interaction between them went viral and didn’t sit well with some fans, as they labelled it “cringe.”
“What’s up, Mr. Brady? How are you doing?” Mendoza said to Brady. The NFL legend asked the young quarterback to call him by his name, as “Mr. Brady” is usually ******* ociated with his father.
It was a lighthearted conversation, but fans on the internet had mixed reactions to it.

Lewis Hamilton had just crossed the finish line nearly 20 seconds clear of George Russell to claim his first Formula 1 victory in Ferrari red, ending a 686-day winless streak. The first person to get through to him wasn’t a journalist, a team principal, or a sponsor. It was Kim Kardashian, on FaceTime, on speaker, in the middle of the media pen.
The moment was captured and shared by F1 photojournalist Kym Illman on X, who wrote:
“Fresh from his victory in Barcelona, Lewis Hamilton made his way to the media pen with a very familiar name on the other end of a FaceTime call. Kim Kardashian appeared on speaker.”
Hamilton stood there in his Ferrari kit, phone in both hands, visibly beaming, while the pen churned around him.
Kardashian’s voice spoke. “I can’t believe it.” “You killed it!” “We’re so proud of you.” “We’re so excited!” Hamilton’s response to her opening question of how he was feeling? Per Illman’s account: “Unreal.”
