A Dallas County jury last week hit freight broker C.H. Robinson with a share of a $604 million verdict in Peyton Lipe et al. v. Lupus Superior, LLC et al. The case stems from a deadly 2021 crash on Interstate 20 in Mississippi. A tractor-trailer operated by Lupus Superior and driven by Gorgonio Gonzalez plowed into stopped traffic. The wreck sparked a multi-vehicle fire that killed Jennifer Lipe, Benjamin Brewer, and Rhoderick Coleman. Two others were seriously hurt. Gonzalez also died.
The jury found the driver, the motor carrier, and C.H. Robinson all negligent. The jury ******* igned Gonzalez with 45% responsibility, Lupus Superior with 32% responsibility, and C.H. Robinson 23% responsibility. Lupus Superior, a Grand Prairie, TX based motor carrier, holds a satisfactory safety rating with the FMCSA. More importantly, the jurors decided Gonzalez was acting as a "borrowed employee" of C.H. Robinson and was carrying out a mission under the broker's control. That finding opens the door to full vicarious liability for the driver's negligence. C.H. Robinson has said it will appeal.
This verdict lands right after two major court decisions that reshape how courts treat liability in trucking and logistics. Understanding the difference between vicarious liability and negligent hiring is key to seeing what happens next.

Jennifer Lopez is feeling humiliated after her first husband, Ojani Noa, gave a bombshell interview about her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, a source tells In Touch.
"J. Lo is very sensitive when it comes to Diddy. His name is totally off limits and everyone in her world knows better than to bring him up," reveals the source. "So the fact Ojani is out there dredging up these old stories and shining a light on that very unfortunate part of her history is infuriating and deeply triggering."
Speaking to The US Sun, Noa, 52 — who was married to the Selena star from 1997 to 1998 — alleges that she cheated on him with Combs, 56, and that he got into a heated confrontation with the rapper at her **** istant's birthday party in 2001.
"Truth is, J. Lo's ashamed she ever dated him and this just underlines to her what terrible judgment she showed at the time," the source says of her two-year romance with Combs, who is currently serving time behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Jennifer Garner hasn't forgotten how scary it was when paparazzi chased her young children to get photos of her and ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
The "Alias" actor opened up about photographers trailing her kids during a stop by Evan Ross Katz's Netflix series, "Shut Up Evan." Garner has long advocated for child protections from paparazzi, and opened up about her own kids' experience.
Buzz: Ben Affleck And Jennifer Garner's Daughter Slams World Leaders In Impassioned UN Speech
"It was totally ludicrous. And it felt like, 'Poor little me, my poor little kids who have everything in the world,' but it was a danger to everyone around us," she shared in the episode.
Garner shared that if she "went through a yellow light, 15 cars would go through the red behind me."

If you thought being hounded by paparazzi was difficult for celebrities, imagine how much worse it could be when they have their children with them. In Jennifer Garner's experience, a media frenzy around her family caused "a danger to everyone around us," and it sounds so scary.
The 13 Going on 30 star, who shares kids Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 12, with ex-husband Ben Affleck, opened up about invasive photographers when her children were little in a July 21 interview on the Shut Up Evan podcast.

Jennifer Aniston's signature style is built on timeless wardrobe staples like white tees, relaxed denim, maxi dresses, and sleek black gowns that always feel polished yet effortless.
The actress relies on simple styling formulas—think wedges, pendant necklaces, aviator sunglasses, and neutral accessories—to make minimalist outfits feel elevated and endlessly wearable.
From tailored **** on-downs to cargo pants and jumpsuits, Aniston proves that repeating versatile basics and refining your personal uniform is the key to mastering quiet luxury style.
There are A-listers with trend-forward closets, and then there are celebrities who quietly define an entire approach to getting dressed. Jennifer Aniston has long fallen into the latter category. Across decades of red carpets, paparazzi shots, and off-duty outings, the actress has built a wardrobe rooted in simplicity, consistency, and fine-tuned minmalism. While today's sartorial tastemakers often swing between maximalism and fleeting trend cycles, Aniston's fashion philosophy has remained remarkably steady: sleek tailoring, effortless denim, timeless black dresses, and elevated basics that never feel overdone.
Part of what makes her style so enduring is its wearability. Whether she's stepping onto an awards-show carpet in a formal gown or grabbing coffee in relaxed jeans and a white tank, there's always an ease to her outfits that feels polished without being unattainable. And over the years, she's developed a handful of signature styling formulas she returns to again and again—proof that personal style is less about constantly reinventing yourself and more about refining what already works.

Ever since her 1994 breakthrough in the sitcom "Friends," Jennifer Aniston's hair has been a topic of discussion. Today, the star is best known for her long, layered blond locks, but the truth is that her natural hair color and texture are rather different from her signature look. As the stunning hair transformation of Jennifer Aniston shows, back in the early '90s, the star was actually rocking her naturally wavy brown hair.

Side-by-side photos of Aniston in 1990 and 1997 showcase just how different that star looks. In fact, the "Horrible Bosses" actor is easily among the celebs who are nearly unrecognizable with their natural hair color, as we've gotten so used to seeing Aniston with sun-kissed blond hair. In a video promoting her haircare brand LolaVie posted on her Instagram in January 2026, the actor responded to the question of whether she would ever dye her hair brown. "Would I ever go brunette? I am brunette," Aniston revealed, adding that she would absolutely go back to her natural color.
As far as her natural hair texture goes, in November 2019, hairstylist Chris McMillan shared a snapshot of Aniston rocking beachy waves to a red carpet event, revealing in the Instagram caption that he actually used the actor's natural hair texture for the look. "The hair is Jen's natural curl and waves," McMillan wrote, adding some details regarding treatment: "Dried natural and touched up minimally with blow drying the roots for direction and touching up random pieces with a wave iron." Speaking to Glamour in the same year, Aniston admitted her preference regarding her own hair. "I love my hair when it's straight," the actor shared, adding that she only noticed she had curls when she cut her hair shorter as a younger girl.

Forget who actually attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. The latest celebrity flex is revealing you could have been there.
Swift and Kelce pulled off what many dubbed America's royal wedding, tying the knot on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City before a reported 1,000 guests. Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, while a guest list that reportedly included Julia Roberts, Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon, Karlie Kloss, Emma Stone and Brad Pitt only fueled fascination around who scored one of the year's most coveted invitations.
As Yahoo previously noted, the couple's strict no-phone, no-social-media policy created an unusual post-wedding phenomenon: celebrities having to wait until after the festivities to share photos and memories from the celebration, posting like mere mortals once the event had ended.
Now, another unexpected trend has emerged.
Instead of talking about what happened at the wedding, a growing (and still expanding) number of celebrities are talking about why they weren't there at all — while making sure everyone knows they were invited.

Jennifer Garner has developed a "Stockholm syndrome thing" with the paparazzo who has followed her for the past two decades.
During the latest episode of the Shut Up Evan podcast, host Evan Ross Katz asked the 13 Going on 30 actress whether tabloid photographers have left her alone since she started campaigning for tougher anti-paparazzi laws designed to protect the children of celebrities.
Garner and Halle Berry testified before the California **** embly Judiciary Committee in August 2013, with the bill passed later that year.
In response, the Alias star shared that she has two photographers that follow her most days, with one "main guy" that she's grown to have an "odd respect" for.
"Like, there's kind of a Stockholm syndrome thing," she said. "And at the same time, I've called the cops on him a million times and been like, 'Can you please just give me a walk around the block with my kids and my dog?'"
Stockholm syndrome refers to when a kidnapped person forms a psychological connection with their captor and starts to sympathise with them.

Jennifer Garner got refreshingly candid about her decades in the public eye, reflecting on her relationship with the paparazzi at the height of her marriage with ex Ben Affleck and the "Stockholm syndrome thing" she has with one longstanding photographer.
"It was totally ludicrous," Garner told Evan Ross Katz on Netflix's "Shut Up Evan!" podcast Tuesday. The actress and producer, who sat with the talk series in promotion of Peacock's "The Five Star Weekend," admitted that she knows complaining about fame is a privileged problem to have — "It felt like poor little me, you know, my poor little kids who have everything in the world." But she emphasized that some situations saw the paparazzi being "a danger to everyone around us."
"If I went through a yellow light, 15 cars would go through the red behind me. They would drive up onto people's lawns, even on a hillside," she recounted. Garner was even asked to remove their children from the local kids' soccer league because too many photographers would follow her and her family to the games.
"It wasn't just about us; it was just an industry that had gotten out of control," Garner said.
"So, as much as I recognize that, you know, we are privileged and lucky and grateful for all that that has afforded us and all that that's made available, at the same time, it just got silly, and kids were at the center of it," she continued. "I mean, I lived on the street with a lot of much more famous and successful people than I, but they followed me because I had the kids. They wouldn't follow Ben. They wouldn't follow Matt Damon. They wouldn't. They were like, 'There's the chick with the kids.' That's when you know it's just it's not right."

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly drawing concern from people close to her. According to a new report, some insiders believe her recent public image is tied to her split from Ben Affleck. They think many of her latest moves are aimed at getting his attention. Although Lopez has spoken about finding happiness after the divorce, sources claim those around her are not convinced she has completely moved on.
According to RadarOnline, Jennifer Lopez has become the focus of fresh concern for people in her inner circle. Unnamed sources cited by the outlet claim her recent public appearances and social media activity reflect a growing desire for attention. The report also alleges Ben Affleck has noticed the change and is said to be worried by what he has seen since their divorce.
One source claimed Lopez has become increasingly preoccupied with her image. They alleged she frequently follows stories about herself and often turns conversations back to her own life. "J.Lo's always been incredibly self-absorbed but things have gotten way out of hand lately," the insider claimed.
The same source also suggested Lopez's recent public image may have another purpose. They claimed she wants to remind Affleck "what he's missing." According to the insider, that desire has allegedly influenced some of her recent appearances and social media posts.
At the same time, Lopez has continued to speak openly about her divorce. In previous interviews, the "Office Romance" actor admitted the breakup felt like her "life blew up in my own face." She also described the last few years as "a tumult." Even so, Lopez has insisted she is now happy and has spent time focusing on herself.

After naming Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) as his No. 1, Hunter declared, "Ted Cruz, of course, 100%" for his No. 2 spot.
"Do you get a gaydar ping from Ted?" Welch asked, to which Hunter replied, "No, you know what I get? I get a really, really kinky, weird s— thing."

A 63-year-old Bronx man was arrested and charged with second-degree criminal mischief and third-degree criminal trespass for the incident.
A 63-year-old Bronx man was arrested after police say he drove a Subaru through the closed security gates at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's East Hampton home, severely damaging the entrance.
The East Hampton Star reported that the crash happened on Wednesday afternoon at the couple's property in the Georgica neighborhood. Investigators have not determined whether the man was targeting the house or its famous owners, and police said they found no weapons or a note explaining his actions.
A security guard told officers the vehicle traveled up the driveway at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at the closed mechanical gates. After the impact, the driver remained inside the damaged car until the property's security team instructed him to get out. He complied and was restrained before village police arrived.
"He wasn't making threats. He seemed confused," Detective Sgt. Jennifer Dunn said.

With the baseball season at its All-Star Break, let's take a look at how some of the stars with Central Mass. ties are doing in Major League Baseball.
Central Mass. has had its share of local stars living out their dreams in The Show over the years, and have a few more just a phone call away from joining them. Jennifer Toland took a look at how Sean Burke, Ian Seymour, Matt Shaw and Ryan Ward are doing this year on the big stage.
It has so far been a resurgent season for Burke and the White Sox.
In his final start before the All-Star break, Burke, the former St. John's High star from Sutton, dazzled against the Athletics. In seven innings, Burke allowed 1 run on 4 hits and struck out 9.
Burke (6-4, 3.41 ERA) has played an important role in helping the White Sox, who lost 102 games last season, to first place in the AL Central.

One of the big talking points of the San Francisco 49ers' offseason revolves around running back Christian McCaffrey. While the star player is healthy and ready to roll in Year 10, head coach Kyle Shanahan has talked about lessening the veteran's workload in 2026, which means more work for whomever takes the RB2 role this year.
That position battle is one of the more intriguing ones of the offseason, but NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan believes third-round rookie Kaelon Black is at an advantage in taking the backup role to help spell McCaffrey because he is built similarly to the 49ers starter.
She noted that McCaffrey's 2025 backup, Brian Robinson Jr. doesn't have the same skillset McCaffrey does and therefore couldn't execute the offense to the same degree when the 49ers wanted to give their starter a break.
"So, when Kyle Shanahan would call plays and Christian McCaffrey wasn't out there, they were trying to give him a break, I think more than once, Kyle Shanahan was like, 'He's got to go back in there,'" she said. "Now, I think this year, having Kaelon Black, I mean, he's a guy who we've seen already through OTAs catching passes. He's not a huge guy, but what we've seen so far is that his catch radius is pretty good. I mean, I've seen him make a couple of fingertip catches already through OTAs. Maybe passes that weren't completely on target, but he's gone for them and hauled them in. So, he's going to become, I mean, it looks like, a reliable pass catcher also as you know, who's a running back as well."
McCaffrey put together an MVP-caliber campaign last season, but it came at a steep price with a grueling 413 total touches. As the 49ers look to preserve their superstar back for another deep postseason run, the battle for the RB2 spot has become the most critical storyline of the summer. Enter rookie Kaelon Black, who is quickly emerging as a fascinating solution to the team's backfield depth issues.

The supermodel unveiled her new hairstyle ahead of the big day, with the look being dubbed as an updated version of the C-cut, sweeping, face-framing layers that curl inwards to form the coveted 'C' shape – think Jennifer Aniston's "Rachel" haircut.
The 31-year-old's hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos took to Instagram to share an insight into Gigi's new layered look in a honey-blonde hue. "I wanted to create the updated version of the C-cut giving this evening to Gigi some Love Layers (aka heart shape layers)!" they penned in the caption.
"A bit more lift on the roots and the first layers start hitting a little below the chin till the tips of the hair! It creates basically an illusion of heart shape layers! Volume on the top and more narrow at the bottom! In this case you can create an illusion of contour with the haircut so the face looks more structured! Always this haircut looks good with a mid part! A big round brush, pin the hair up till they cool down after brush the hair with your fingers and last spray some hairspray till you create your heart shape Layers, your LoveLayers!"
The post featured a stunning portrait of Gigi gazing directly at the camera, her glowing complexion framed by sweeping, '90s-inspired layers. She wore a simple baby-blue T-shirt.
For the wedding, Gigi slipped into a $15K Blush Pink Gown from Wiederhoeft. The Maggie dress debuted in the Spring/Summer 2025 runway collection and features a corseted bodice with metal construction. The entire garment is hand-embroidered with pink glass cut beads for a dazzling finish. In his debut 2019 collection, Wiederhoeft introduced his now-signature wasp corset, inspired by the insect's sharply tapered stinger. The design features a structured, metal-boned V-shaped silhouette, complete with a lace-up back.
