Eva Mendes has showcased her tattoo, dedicated to her partner Ryan Gosling, giving fans an insight into her relationship with the actor.
The Ghost Rider actress posted a series of photos on her Instagram on Friday, Aug. 28, including one of herself sitting in a car while holding up her wrist tattoo that reads "de Gosling."
"It's the only one I have, the only one I've ever wanted," Mendes wrote in the comment section.
Mendes originally debuted her tattoo in 2020 and again in 2022, but this is the first time she has spoken about it. Gosling and Mendes have been in a relationship for 15 years but have been notoriously private about their life together.

Harry Styles has settled in for his residency at Madison Square Garden, and he couldn't help from joking about a certain other major event that happened there this summer.
While performing at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Aug. 29, the "As It Was" singer made a cheeky reference to his ex Taylor Swift's wedding to Travis Kelce, which was held at the legendary New York City arena in July.
"We're at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks," Styles said on stage, according to videos from the performance shared on social media. "And they also do weddings!"
Styles and Swift dated from 2012 to 2013, and their relationship is believed to have inspired several of Swift's songs, including "Style" from her 2014 album "1989." Styles' song "Two Ghosts," meanwhile, is thought to be about Swift.
Since 2025, Styles has been romantically linked to Zoë Kravitz.

Celtic are in advanced talks to send winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha to Belgian Pro League club K.A.A. Gent on loan, according to Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph. The structure of the deal includes an option for Gent to sign him permanently for around £3.5 million. Balikwisha, 25, has received permission from Celtic to fly to Belgium and complete a medical.
The DR Congo international was brought in from Royal Antwerp for £5.5 million, but the Scottish champions have now deemed him surplus to requirements. His representatives had been searching for a suitable destination for several weeks.
Balikwisha's time at Celtic has been nothing short of a disaster. The Congolese winger arrived from Antwerp last summer with genuine expectations, only to post 0 goals and 0 ****** ists across 14 appearances throughout the 2025/26 season. He hasn't touched the pitch once in the current 2026/27 campaign.
Those numbers tell a brutal story. In the Scottish Premiership, he failed to register a single shot on target, his dribble success rate sat at a miserable 44%, and he contributed just 2 key passes all season. A ghost, in every statistical sense.
The tactical direction under the Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has moved firmly against wide players who lack structural discipline. Balikwisha's profile, an individualistic, flair-driven attacker, simply didn't fit the system's demand for pressing intensity and defensive positional awareness.

There's a ghost following Cooper Hoffman. Luckily for me, he brings it up first.
We're only around 20 minutes into breakfast at the West Village staple Morandi the first time Hoffman mentions his late father, the beloved actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. The restaurant has long been one of his family's favorite haunts, and the booth three spots over is where Hoffman recently celebrated his younger sister's high school graduation and acceptance to either Michigan State or the University of Michigan (Hoffman, laughing and shamefaced, keeps forgetting which). When the conversation turns to the New York Knicks' unbelievable playoff run, a decades-in-the-making miracle that Hoffman had to watch "drunk in bed" while in London attending a wedding, he invokes the memory of a man he lost just a month before his 11th birthday.

Rebel Wilson is being accused of funding efforts to publicly harm a Hollywood producer's reputation.
Amanda Ghost's latest filing in her defamation case against the actress, 46, includes alleged correspondence between Wilson and publicist Melissa Nathan that Ghost claims shows them discussing the creation of anonymous websites about her, according to documents filed Aug. 25 in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by USA TODAY.
Wilson's attorney, Allyson Thompson, addressed the allegations in a statement to USA TODAY, calling Ghost's motion "by its very nature, one-sided and thus incomplete. This case is in active litigation and involves thousands of documents and a large number of witnesses."
"There are two sides to every story and Ms. Wilson looks forward to telling her side at the trial in this disputed matter. There are key defense issues that will be addressed in due course," Thompson concluded.

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have had their share of strife over the past 10 days, dealing with another pitching injury and the fallout of having one of their best players ghost the team during a playoff race.
Rookie Ryan Waldschmidt changed the mood in a hurry on Tuesday night.
The 23-year-old entered the game as a pinch hitter with two outs in the ninth and smashed a two-run, game-winning homer to stun the Chicago Cubs 5-4. It was the team's 40th comeback win of the season, which leads the big leagues.
The D-backs trailed 4-0 after seven innings on Tuesday before scoring three runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth.
"I think they have the mentality that they're just a bunch of dogs and they're not going to stop," manager Torey Lovullo said. "They're going to keep getting after it every single day and that's just ingrained in them. They have a great makeup.

"Ghost" is indeed back. But not at Arizona State.
Myles "Ghost" Rowser has decided to play in the Big 12, but will do so at Houston.
Rowser, like many other NCAA athletes who started their careers in 2022, has been given an extra year of eligibility courtesy of a court ruling. Rowser played one year at Campbell, one at New Mexico State, and was in Tempe for the last two seasons. He has a combined 317 tackles.
Rowser totaled 162 tackles in his two ASU seasons, with a high of 98 coming in 2024.
He was not selected in the NFL draft, but did get a mini-camp invite from the Seattle Seahawks.

"The Girls Next Door" alum Holly Madison has listed her historic—and allegedly "haunted"—Hollywoodland home as a $9,500-a-month rental, just a few weeks after she opened up about why she feels unable to sell the iconic abode.
Madison, 46, has owned the storied property since 2012, snapping it up for just under $1.5 million four years after she ended her seven-year relationship with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and moved out of his infamous mansion.
Interestingly, the reality star's own L.A. abode features a similar Tudor-inspired design as the Playboy mansion, albeit on a much smaller scale. However, it features a number of very quirky additional features that help it to stand out from the crowd.
The charming dwelling sits in a "really cute community full of fairytale homes" that the star first fell in love with while filming an episode of the Playboy-centric reality show, and it was even investigated for paranormal activity on a 2021 episode of "Ghost Adventures."
In a house tour the former Playmate shared to her personal YouTube channel in March 2026, Madison recalled the moment she first set her sights on the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood she'd one day call home as the cast was driving to Sunset Ranch to produce a horseback riding scene.

Real Madrid are on a mission to undo the ghosts of the past two seasons, especially the fact that they have not won a single major ******* le in over 700 days now.
As they head into the new season, they do so with a refreshed dressing room, new signings that transform the look of the entire team and a manager who arrives with his clear set of ideas.
Jose Mourinho has been chosen as the architect of Real Madrid's project and has received tremendous support from the higher-ups.
With game-changing defensive and attacking signings, there is barely any room for excuses for Real Madrid not to win a ******* le. The season officially kicks off for them this weekend, and the manager has a lot to figure out before kick-off on the night.

If you've been playing fantasy football long enough, chances are you've faced the dilemma of whether to draft Christian McCaffrey.
The latest tightness saga to come out of 49ers training camp has fantasy drafters feeling nervous about selecting the 30-year-old running back in the first round.
Though the Niners claim it's simply precautionary, the ghost of 2024 CMC still haunts us all.
Until McCaffrey retires from football, we'll be battling this decision in our heads every draft season. It's quite simple: when you draft CMC, you either get the best player in fantasy football or light your first-round pick on fire.

Charlotte Knights 9, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 8 (10 innings)
The Knights (65-56) struck first in the second inning. Edgar Quero led off with a double, and Caden Connor drove him in for a quick 1-0 edge. Shane Smith, still lost, flooded the basepaths with traffic in the bottom half and let the RailRiders swipe the lead right back. Jairo Iriarte took over in the third and immediately served up a two-run homer. By the fifth, Tanner McDougal was getting shelled for four unearned runs, and Charlotte was buried, 8-1. Ouch.
Apparently, though, the Knights offense wasn't interested in going quietly. Charlotte finally came alive with three runs in the eighth, highlighted by a two-run bomb from Junior Perez and four walks, before erupting for four more tallies in the ninth. Mario Camilletti delivered the big blow with a bases-clearing double, and Andy Weber added an RBI single to complete the surge and knot things at 8-8. Jaden Woods kept the RailRiders off the board in the ninth to send it to extras, where Rikuu Nishida started at second as the ghost runner. Michael Turner moved him to third with a ground out, and Ryan Galanie brought him home with a sacrifice fly for the 9-8 lead. Garrett Schoenle handled the bottom of the 10th, working around a walk to finish off a remarkable comeback win for the Knights.

CHILLICOTHE, Ill. (WMBD/WYZZ) -- The new coach at IVC is very familiar with central Illinois football.
Cameron Bailliez, a 2016 Pekin High School grad, is the new coach of the Grey Ghosts. He comes back to central Illinois after coaching six years in North Carolina.
Bailliez succeeds Tim Heinz, who retired after 21 years at IVC and a school record 99 career wins. Heinz guided IVC to 10 playoff appearances, the most recent in 2019.
"On offense, we will be more position-less. You'll see guys shift in motion all over the place. We'll see a guy playing tight end now might be a receiver. He might be a running back, he'll be all over the place," said Bailliez.
The players seem to like the new playbook.

Dating is never easy, but dating while famous? Probably even harder — especially online.
Many celebrities stick to dating techniques like being set up by friends or crossing their fingers for a traditional meet-cute. There are some stars, however, who have joined the masses in swiping for love, trying the celeb-exclusive app Raya or more mainstream platforms such as Tinder and ***** ble.
Some scored matches, others got ghosted and more than one — including Zayn Malik and Andy Cohen — was accused of catfishing. A few, like Dakota Fanning and Charlize Theron, were urged to sign up by pals, and that just meant they could judge matches together (looking at you, BFFs Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix!).
While several enjoyed trying the online dating pool, Olivia Rodrigo got the ick from the experience.
Ahead are the celebs who've gone on the record about trying out dating apps.

Former child star Hayden Panettiere has died at 36. While the actor is perhaps best known for her roles in TV series like Heroes, where she played an indestructible cheerleader, and Nashville, where she portrayed a rising country star, to horror fans, she'll forever be known as one of the Scream franchise's most iconic final girls, Kirby Reed.
Scream 4 marked Panettiere's first appearance in the film franchise. Her character was a cool Woodsboro High School student who sported a pixie cut and could rattle off horror film trivia. Her passion for horror was central to the movie's final act, in which her character is caught by Ghostface and forced to play one of his twisted games. Ultimately, she is stabbed by one of the Ghostface killers and left for dead.
Kirby's fate was never revealed in that movie, and fans always hoped that she would return to the franchise in a sequel. In 2022, the long-anticipated Scream premiered as both a sequel and a reboot of the franchise, but Panettiere did not appear in the film. Her fate was revealed through an Easter egg in the movie, when a character is looking at a YouTube page and an interview with Kirby, a survivor of the Woodsboro stabbing, appears.
Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts in Scream 4.
"We wanted to answer the Kirby question in some way from the beginning," co-director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin told Nerdist in 2022. "We just didn't really know what that would be. There was a period during the pre-production where we thought we might be able to even get her in this movie. We had a zoom with her and she was lovely. And she was like, 'I love Kirby, I'd love to be in it.'"

Just when it seemed we wouldn't have to spend our Sunday dredging up ghosts of past transfers, the Italian media has breathed new life into the seemingly moribund Rodrigo Mora saga. The 19-year-old Porto midfielder popped up on Roma's radar earlier this month, whipping fans into a frenzy with visions of a Portuguese Messi dancing through our heads.
Although prohibitively expensive by Roma's customary standards, the Giallorossi were poised to smash their transfer record, handing over €50 million to acquire the talented teenager, albeit in a convoluted fashion. Unwilling or unable to pay the full freight for Mora, Sporting Director Tony D'Amico spent the better part of a week blazing creative paths toward the fifty-million mark.
With the two sides reportedly agreeing to a 50/50 split that would see Roma pay €25 million this summer and €25 million next summer—the latter essentially serving to remove the rumored 40% to 50% sell-on fee—it seemed the deal was as good as done. There were also reports that the deal was structured as a loan with an obligation to buy—either way, the final cost would be in the €50 million neighborhood.
But then Porto President André Villas-Boas began moving the goalposts, demanding easier benchmarks to make the deal permanent. With the negotiations halted, Mora and his representatives voiced their displeasure, reportedly attempting to persuade the Porto brass to accept the Roma deal.
To date, Villas-Boas and Porto haven't budged, but there may be hope on the horizon. According to nearly any Italian transfer journalist or agent mouthpiece you can think of, the deal is back on. In fact, Gianluca Di Marzio contends that the deal is making progress and that the two clubs are close to a €25 million transfer with a 50% sell-on clause.

Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham has alluded to the possibility of adding another player. Some thought that it could be safety Myles "Ghost" Rowser. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
Rowser, who spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons at ASU, announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on his social media accounts.
Rowser, like many other NCAA athletes who started their careers in 2022, has been given an extra year of eligibility courtesy of a court ruling. Rowser played one year at Campbell, one at New Mexico State, and was in Tempe for the last two seasons. He has a combined 317 tackles, with 182 coming in his two years in Tempe.
He was not selected in the NFL draft, but did get a mini-camp invite from the Seattle Seahawks.
The thought that he could return to ASU was heightened when the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder alluded to a possible return on social media after the announcement, with the proclamation: "Ghost always comes back to haunt."

Demi Moore stunned in a Balenciaga micro minidress featuring a scale-like texture that rode up her thighs. The "Ghost" star opted for the dress for her daughter Tallulah Willis' wedding after-party. The X (formerly Twitter) page, House of Vanity, shared a photo of her look on August 11.

Demi Moore wore a strapless mint green micro minidress from Balenciaga for her daughter's wedding after-party. Designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli, the dress featured a scale-like woven texture and a straight-across, rimmed neckline on the boned bustier bodice. It cinched at the waist before flowing down into a tulip-shaped bubble miniskirt.
Deep box pleating around the waist gave the skirt its rounded, architectural volume, creating an hourglass silhouette. The strapless neckline highlighted her bare shoulders while the short skirt left her long legs on full display. The dress also had concealed pockets on both sides.

I can still picture my prized holographic BOOK IT! pin, the one with pages that turned as you tilted it. It filled up with stars I earned through a full Baby-Sitters Club obsession and anything even remotely ghost-related, then kicked around various jewelry boxes and bins of ephemera for years. As a kid I proudly identified as a voracious reader, and the pin was the proof. The Pizza Hut pizza was simply a bonus.
Recently, I sat down to talk with Chrissy Teigen about her partnership with Pizza Hut's BOOK IT! program, and it quickly turned into a delightful nostalgia-fest. What doubly delighted me was how authentically excited she is about reading and about passing that love down to her kids. "The little exclamation point is like what excited me the most," she told me about her own childhood pin, and we were off.
There's real substance behind the nostalgia. Pizza Hut created BOOK IT! in 1984 with a simple mission, to turn "have to read" into "want to read" for kids everywhere, and it worked. It's now the longest-running corporate-supported reading program in the country, and by Pizza Hut's own count it has encouraged more than 70 million children to read since it launched, handing out an estimated 1.5 billion pizzas along the way.
Teigen, who turned 40 this year, has spent the past few years reconnecting with her childhood friends from Snohomish, Washington. The things that got them excited as kids are the same things they text each other about now, which is exactly why a reading program wrapped in 90s vibes and pizza was an immediate yes. As a senior millennial, I understood the impulse completely.
Her four kids read in four completely different ways, which any parent of more than one totally understands. Miles (8), her biggest reader, goes nonstop, plowing through Dog Man and the I Survived series in the car and on the way to camp because he loves facts more than almost anything. Luna (10), her oldest, is aging into book reports, summer reading lists, and the very specific social world of tween reading, where friends race through the same book so they can all watch the adaptation together. Then there are the littles. Esti (3) is deep in Madeline and The Very Impatient Caterpillar, which Teigen reads aloud in full character voices while the caterpillar keeps asking "am I a **** erfly yet?" and everyone shouts back, no. Wren (3), whom she affectionately calls "a much simpler man," wants Little Blue Truck and a "beep beep" on every page.

Scooping ice cream, lifeguarding swimming pools, and restocking retail stores during the summer has long been teenagers' rite of passage. For most, it's the first time they build real-world skills and earn their own pocket change. But now, teens are up against the worst summer job market since the Great Recession. Landing a job at the back of a mom-and-pop shop feels almost as hard as scoring a full-time corporate role.
"I didn't know it was going to be this hard. I thought it was going to be quite easy. And with all the applications I sent through, I feel a bit discouraged," Simon Chow, a 17-year-old who spent months applying to dozens of summer gigs, tells Fortune. "I'm looking everywhere, and I'll take anything at this point."
Around 790,000 jobs in May, June, and July of this year opened up for teenagers—down from around 801,000 gigs from 2025—according to a recent report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas. And if the study's prediction plays out, this stretch of summer would mark the lowest teen hiring since 1948, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking the data. Beyond the previous year, the only other time this figure dropped to a low this concerning was in 2010 (960,000), when the U.S. was reeling from the Great Recession.
Now, teenagers are having to get crafty to land their minimum-wage summer gigs. Like many job seekers, they're playing the numbers game, sending out dozens of applications only to be ghosted. Others are employing the old-fashioned strategy deployed by their parents, strutting up to storefronts with resume in hand and elevator pitch memorized. And after months of searching, some tough realities have become clear: landing a seasonal job in this market can require connections, experience, and the guts to put themselves out there.
Teenagers across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., tell Fortune this year's summer job market has been miserable—but some are finding a way in.

SEATTLE (AP) — Preliminary testing showed the bullets that killed two bystanders during a shootout at a crowded Seattle food festival last weekend didn't come from the gun a 15-year-old arrested at the scene was seen firing, police said in court documents filed Wednesday.
The teen repeatedly shot an untraceable ghost gun into a crowd, police said, and the King County prosecutor's office filed charges of first-degree ****** ault with a firearm and unlawful possession of a handgun.
In a statement supporting the charges, police said preliminary testing of bullets recovered from the two bystanders killed showed they did not match that weapon.
The shooting in the waning hours of the Bite of Seattle festival near the ****** e Needle left three people dead, including a 19-year-old suspect, and at least four bystanders injured, including a toddler. Police believe it was gang-related, and they continue searching for others who might have been involved.
Police Chief Shon Barnes had previously said there was possibly another person with a gunshot wound that investigators were looking to speak with, but the department said Wednesday there was no eighth victim.

Job seekers are exhausted. Tired of shooting résumés into the void and getting ghosted, many have started paying for AI tools that blast their application out to every open role they can find. But according to Greenhouse CEO Daniel Chait, employers are just as miserable—and he's got a name for the hiring nightmare: an AI doom loop.
"This is the first time when really both sides have been unhappy," Chait told Fortune. "The market just isn't working for either side."
Job seekers, he says, are "piling more and more job applications into the black hole and not getting any progress." It doesn't matter how many they send—they "just don't get anywhere."
So they've turned to AI tools that make the process less painful. "You can go search on Google, and there are tools that advertise, use AI to automatically apply to every Greenhouse job," the jobs board boss said. "Someone goes and buys that tool, it's like 20 bucks, and now they can just shoot out job applications willy-nilly to as many jobs as they want."
On the other side of the inbox, recruiters are drowning. There are currently 175,000 live jobs on Greenhouse's platform—and on average, for every job ad posted, around 254 job seekers are applying, pushing applications per recruiter up by 412%.
