Mark Consuelos is willing to make extreme sacrifices for his beloved pup, Lena.
The Live with Kelly and Mark host, 55, told his wife and cohost Kelly Ripa during the Tuesday, August 11, episode of their daytime talk show that he would "stay in a loveless marriage just to make sure I could be with Lena every day."
"That's how much I love Lena," Consuelos added, per People.
Ripa, clearly not bothered by her husband's admission, teased, "Is that all you're asking for, is a loveless marriage? Done!"
Consuelos explained that if the pair ever divorced, he would "stay up at night wondering what [Lena] is doing," or "just wondering if there was some other man petting her."

Long before she was finishing opponents inside the cage, Magdalena "The Powerpuff Girl" Czaban was a shy little girl in Krakow, Poland, who simply needed a gentle nudge out of her shell. That nudge ultimately came in the form of sports, and it completely changed the entire trajectory of her life.
The 26-year-old rising star now stands at a flawless 4-0, with every single one of her professional victories coming by way of an early finish. On Friday, August 14, she makes her highly anticipated ONE Championship debut against American veteran Natalie Salcedo in an atomweight MMA showcase at ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video. The blockbuster event broadcasts live in U.S. primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Before she steps into the ring for the very first time, here is everything you need to know about the CTRL Fight standout — from her active childhood in southern Poland to the deeply personal battles that successfully shaped her into the martial artist she is today.
Czaban was born and raised in Krakow, a historic city in southern Poland renowned for its stunning architecture, vibrant arts, and rich culture. She grew up alongside her mother, father, and younger brother in a busy household where sitting still was never really an option.
As a child, Czaban was naturally reserved, and her parents recognized early on that structured physical activity might help draw her out of her profound shyness. What began as a well-meaning attempt to build her confidence blossomed into a family lifestyle built almost entirely around constant movement, adventure, and the great outdoors. Weekends and summers were rarely spent indoors.

This weekend, pound-for-pound No 1 Islam Makhachev defends his welterweight ****** le against Ian Machado Garry in the main event of UFC 330.
The bout marks Makhachev's first defence of the belt, which he won by dominating and outpointing Jack Della Maddalena in November, after giving up the lightweight belt following a record-breaking four successful defences.
And the Russian, 34, faces an intriguing test against the divisive Machado Garry, 28, who enters the fight with just one professional loss to his name.

The Irishman bounced back from that narrow points defeat by Shavkat Rakhmonov with wins over ex-champ Belal Muhammad and Carlos Prates, and he enters UFC 330 full of confidence.

IslamMakhachev is far more comfortable competing at welterweight andwon't move back down to 155 pounds.

Makhachev (28-1) defended the Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight **** le four timesbefore moving up to welterweight. He dominantly dethroned JackDella Maddalena to win the 170-pound **** le last year and is nowscheduled to defend it against Ian Garry(17-1) at UFC330 on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
Makhachev's coach, Javier Mendez, doesn't believe his fighter willswitch between weight classes and is likely done with lightweightentirely. Mendez recently revealed that the champion has gainedfive kilos (11 pounds) of muscle since moving up to welterweightand isn't looking to move back down.

"He's gained five kilos of muscle and feels better atwelterweight," Mendez told Alvaro Colmenero. "He prefers thisweight class. I don't think he'll ever fight at lightweight."

Notably, Makhachev has previously stated that he can compete atmiddleweight as well. When Dricus DuPlessis was the 185-pound champion, then-lightweight kingMakhachev claimed that if the UFC offered him a **** le fight againstthe South African, he would gladly accept. However, the Russianhasn't mentioned middleweight since moving up, shining a light on170-pound contenders like CarlosPrates instead.

Fighting Nerds teammates Jean Silvaand CaioBorralho seemingly disagree on how the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight ***** le fight willplay out.

IanGarry (17-1) is scheduled to challenge IslamMakhachev (28-1) for the 170-pound ***** le at UFC330 on Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Whilethe reigning champion is a massive betting favorite, many fightershave picked Garry to pull off an upset.
While Silva is backing Garry to come out on top, he admits thatsupporting the Irishman is challenging, likely referring to histeammate CarlosPrates' loss to "The Future" last year.

"I like Ian Garry, I prefer Ian Garry," Silva said in a recentinterview. "I have little problem for my team."

Meanwhile, Borralho shook his head in disagreement as Silva weighedin on the fight.

Garry has nine wins in the UFC and has only lost to ShavkatRakhmonov, who is currently sidelined as he recovers frominjury. The former Cage Warriors champion has beaten the likes of Prates, BelalMuhammad, Geoff Nealand NeilMagny.

Meanwhile, Makhachev is on a 16-fight winning streak, tied withAndersonSilva for the longest in UFC history. The Dagestani championdefended the lightweight ***** le four times before moving up towelterweight and dethroning JackDella Maddalena.

World number two Elena Rybakina survived a huge scare to battle into the Canadian Open quarter-finals on Sunday in Toronto, while fourth-ranked Coco Gauff cruised through.
Kazakhstan's Rybakina recovered from 0-3 and two breaks down in the final set to beat Liudmila Samsonova 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 before American Gauff swept aside another Russian, teenage qualifier Alina Korneeva, 6-3, 6-1 in Toronto.
Rybakina will face a quarter-final against four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, who eliminated home hero Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-4.
Gauff reached the last eight in Canada for the first time since 2023 and will come up against either Swiss 12th seed Belinda Bencic or Alexandra Eala, the rapidly rising 21-year-old Filipina who won her first WTA **** le last Monday in Washington.
"My main focus today was let me try and close it out," said Gauff, who has not dropped a set in Canada.

Growing up in the spotlight doesn't always guarantee lifelong success, but for a select group of former child stars, early fame became the foundation for extraordinary wealth.
From billion-dollar beauty brands to cryptocurrency empires and sports franchises, these celebrities transformed childhood careers into multimillion-dollar — and in some cases billionaire — business empires.
Here's a look at some of the richest former child stars today.
Long before she became one of the world's biggest pop stars and entrepreneurs, Selena Gomez was winning over audiences on Barney & Friends before landing her breakout Disney Channel role on Wizards of Waverly Place.
Today, much of her fortune comes from Rare Beauty, the cosmetics brand she launched in 2020. While Bloomberg previously estimated her wealth at more than $1 billion, Forbes now values her net worth at around $700 million, making her one of the richest entertainers in Hollywood. Rare Beauty remains the largest contributor to her fortune, alongside earnings from music, acting, endorsements and Only Murders in the Building.

Baron Capital, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter for the "Baron Health Care Fund". A copy of the letter is available to download here. The Fund gained 11.99% during the quarter, compared with the 10.48% gain for the Russell 3000 Health Care Index and the 15.44% gain for the Russell 3000 Index. Since inception, the Fund appreciated 10.61% on an annualized basis, compared with 10.02% for the Benchmark and 14.83% for the Index. Strong stock selection in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, health care equipment, and life sciences tools and services supported the Fund's outperformance, although limited exposure to managed care stocks reduced relative returns. The Fund remains positive on health care due to improving biotechnology funding, strong acquisition activity, recovering managed care margins, and growth from an aging population, chronic disease, medical innovation, and higher health care spending. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know the best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Baron Health Care Fund highlighted Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD). Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD), a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and commercializes medicines for unmet medical needs, detracted from the fund's performance during the quarter. On August 03, 2026, Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) closed at $131.15 per share. The one-month return of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) was -3.82%, and its shares gained 16.62% over the past 52 weeks. Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) has a market capitalization of $162.83 billion.
Baron Health Care Fund stated the following regarding Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Biotechnology company Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) is best known for developing and commercializing therapies that treat and prevent HIV. Following a strong first-quarter advance driven by continued enthusiasm surrounding the launch of Yeztugo for HIV prevention, the stock detracted from performance in the second quarter. Shares pulled back after management issued conservative 2026 guidance in February, including expectations for approximately $800 million of Yeztugo sales, below investor expectations. Despite the more cautious outlook, we remain confident in Yeztugo's long-term opportunity. Unlike Descovy, a daily oral preventive treatment, Yeztugo is a twice-yearly injectable therapy that has the potential to significantly improve patient compliance. Looking ahead, we continue to view Gilead as a leader in HIV treatment and prevention, with Yeztugo representing an important new preventive option and a promising next-generation pipeline that includes a weekly oral lenacapavir and islatravir combination being developed with Merck & Co., Inc., as well as a wholly-owned weekly regimen incorporating a novel integrase inhibitor designed to offer a higher barrier to resistance."

UFC welterweight contender Carlos Prates has his eye on the prize.
Prates (24-7 MMA, 7-1 UFC) positioned himself in the **** le race after three straight finishes of Geoff Neal and former UFC champions Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena.
Prates was called out by the recently victorious Sean Brady and Uros Medic, but the Brazilian dismissed both challenges.
"A lot of you guys seanbradymma, medicu, and the other welterweights — have been mentioning my name. Calm down, brothers. In my next fight, I'm taking that belt. After that, I'll deal with all of you and take you straight to the Kingdom of Pain. Be ready. Nothing personal, just business."

Elena Khoziaeva's story is basically a masterclass in staying somewhere because it's actually good. Khoziaeva, CFA, shared her journey from Belarus to a Houston master's degree, from walking into Bridgeway in 1998 as partner number six to 25-plus years later as the Co-CIO of a firm now running roughly $5 billion on the latest Behind the Ticker episode with host Brad Roth, founder and CIO of Thor Funds. What makes Bridgeway drastically different than your average shop was baked in from the very beginning of the firm. It gives away half its profits to a foundation fighting genocide, caps pay so no partner earns more than 7x the lowest-paid employee, and runs on a research culture where being wrong in a meeting isn't a career risk but half the point. Khoziaeva calls the approach systematic rather than quantitative, but it all comes down to trusting the process, being open to arguments internally to shape better strategies, and not getting defensive when the model's wrong.
Then there's BSVO, the EA Bridgeway Omni Small-Cap Value ETF, one of the more interesting products in a crowded category. It's got a real 15-year track record (born as a mutual fund in 2010, wrapped as an ETF in 2023), holds roughly 600 names instead of the usual sub-200, and deliberately goes smaller and cheaper than the Russell 2000 Value benchmark, with an average market cap under $3 billion. The value screen runs across the whole universe rather than sector-by-sector, which is why it naturally tilts toward financials and energy and away from healthcare currently, not because anyone's trying to time sectors, but because that's just where the cheapest stuff happens to sit.
The bigger picture Khoziaeva paints is a valuation gap that's stretched further than usual, with small value trading around a 14-15 P/E while large growth sits in the 30s, and the book-to-market gap versus the S&P 500 is nearly double its historical norm. Her line for advisors is memorable: "the tighter the spring, the more powerful the release"and Q1 2026 proved it, with small value up 5% while large growth dropped 10%. Her advice isn't to time it, though but to hold the allocation, stay systematic, and let the spring do what springs do.

Even with Matthews, more usually in the back row, deployed as an emergency wing, it is a punchy England backline.
Six of the seven played in the Red Roses' World Cup final win over Canada last year. Before that though, all seven played top-level sevens.
"Some of the world's best 15 players have come through sevens," says GB Sevens player Abbie Brown. "That Red Roses backline was our sevens squad at one point.

Kate Middleton has grown into one of the most popular members of the royal family. According to one royal expert, she is the monarchy's "greatest ****** et." Experts believe King Charles III and Kate now share a stronger relationship following their cancer diagnoses.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl, who serves as Vanity Fair's royal correspondent and co-hosts The Royals Uncensored, said, "I think Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has always been a very valuable ****** et to the royal family."
"She is the commoner who married into the royal family … [She has made] a seamless transition into that unique world of royalty. It's not easy … There's a huge amount of sacrifice that goes into being a member of the royal family," the expert told Fox News.
Nicholl said Catherine has made many personal sacrifices but has handled them with grace, dignity, and a smile. She added that both Charles and Queen Camilla deeply admire Catherine. Buckingham Palace announced the King's diagnosis in 2024. In December 2025, Charles shared that his treatment would be reduced in 2026.
On the other hand, the mother of three shared in September 2024 that she had finished chemotherapy and considered herself "cancer-free." She later announced in January 2025 that she was in remission. British broadcaster Helena Chard noted that King Charles, 77, has been greatly inspired by Kate's strength.

Defending champions Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner top the 2026 U.S. Open entry list for tennis' final Grand Slam of the year.
Sabalenka is the two-time champion and is hoping to become the first woman to win three consecutive U.S. Open crowns since 2012-2014, when Serena Williams won the last of her six ******* les at Flushing Meadows.
Four other former women's U.S. Open champions are in the field, with 2024 winner Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek (2022), Naomi Osaka (2018, 2020) and Emma Raducanu (2021), looking to win their first Slam of the year.
There will be eight wild cards and 16 qualifiers among the 128 main-draw entries. It is not yet known whether Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner, will compete in New York after making a return appearance at Wimbledon earlier this summer. Williams lost in Wimbledon's first round to Australian Maya Joint.
The three women who won Grand Slams this year are also in the field, led by Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, Mirra Andreeva, who won at Roland Garros, and Wimbledon winner Linda Noskova.

Alexandra Eala denied Leylah Fernandez a chance at a second consecutive ****** le at the Mubadala DC Open. An inspired performance saw the Filipino star send the defending champion packing in straight sets after fending off a comeback attempt.
Fernandez, who has now arrived in Toronto for her home tournament, opened up about how the match unfolded.
Fernandez, who has endured a rather underwhelming season, arrived at the DC Open hoping to successfully defend her ****** le. Ahead of her campaign, the Canadian star said that enjoying her time on the court played a major role in her victory 12 months ago. At last year's tournament, she staged a remarkable run, beating the likes of Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina, and Anna Kalinskaya en route to the ****** le.
She made a winning start this year, convincingly dismissing Magda Linette 6-1, 6-4 in the first round. The seventh seed, however, was halted in the next round by Eala. The 21-year-old produced a dominant performance in the opening set, winning 6-2.
"I mean, honestly, Alex has been playing really well. I think the biggest thing is that she's playing with a lot of confidence. She's trusting herself, trusting her shots, her patterns, and a lot of her ****** are going in. So, that's the big difference. I feel like she's progressing well. Whatever she's doing with her team is working," Fernandez said in her post-match press conference.

Zendaya continues her legendary reign of method dressing on the red carpet. Attending the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere after-party in London, the actress turned heads in a jaw-dropping custom creation. Styled by her long-time image architect Law Roach, she channeled iconic comic book history. Consequently, her striking look brought classic Marvel art to life while delivering high-fashion drama that fans around the world will never forget.
For the late-night celebration, Zendaya wore a custom-designed halter dress created by American designer LaQuan Smith. The body-hugging midi dress featured bold, horizontal black-and-white stripes that wrapped around her frame.
The dress showcased a daringly deep plunging V-neckline that extended all the way down toward her waist. At the bottom, the sleek bodycon silhouette flared out into a dramatic, vibrant red satin ruffled hem at her calves.
The unique outfit was a direct recreation of a vintage 1980s Spider-Man comic book illustration. Specifically, it brought to life a paper-doll dress designed for Mary Jane Watson nearly 40 years ago.
Interestingly, Selena Gomez previously wore a bold striped LaQuan Smith knit dress during a high-profile appearance, proving the designer's mastery of eye-catching lines. However, Zendaya's custom version takes the striped aesthetic to a cinematic level by transforming comic book art into red-carpet couture.

It's all starting again! To kick off the new ADMIRAL Women's Bundesliga season, SpG Südburgenland/TSV Hartberg will be visiting the Red Bull Football Academy, where – as in the previous season – all matches can be attended free of charge. Kick-off is on Saturday at 14:30 CEST.
Laola1 Live stream
With their usual ambitions and some new faces, our FC Red Bull Salzburg Women, led by captain Katja Wienerroither, are heading into their new campaign with confidence. In addition to the already announced new signings, Lena Triendl is joining us. The Tyrolean native won the double last season with FK Austria Vienna, providing twelve goal contributions in domestic football.
Our team were drawn to face SV Telfs in the ÖFB Women's Cup on the first weekend of September. Before that, however, the first league matches are on the agenda. Lilla Sipos, the star player of the past Bundesliga season, has left Burgenland for Sturm Graz – a setback for the bottom-placed team in the 2025/26 season, who only remained in the Austrian top flight due to severe financial difficulties at Neulengbach.
Dusan Pavlovic's team is aiming to add another chapter to their success story after last season's achievements – qualifying for the Championship Group and reaching the Cup Final. The upcoming match against the combined team is a welcome opportunity as we scored more goals against them than any other opponents in 2025/26 (with a 5-2 and 4-2 win). The match will be broadcast on both ÖFB TV and Laola1, the new media partner of the ADMIRAL Women's Bundesliga. Florian Grabner will referee the clash.

Defending champion Alex de Minaur powered into the Washington Open quarter-finals with a clinical 6-2, 6-3 victory over fellow Australian Cruz Hewitt.
Women's top seed Jessica Pegula also advanced, rallying to beat Magdalena Frech 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 while men's second seed Ben Shelton outlasted Ugo Humbert 6-7 (3/7), 6-3, 6-4.
Top-seeded De Minaur was always likely to prove too much for 17-year-old qualifier Hewitt -- son of Aussie great Lleyton Hewitt -- who had only captured his first ATP victory in Tuesday's first round.
The first set threatened to become a demolition as De Minaur raced to a 5-0 lead.
But Hewitt found his feet, breaking back in the sixth game and holding serve before succumbing 6-2.

Even Heard's little sister, Tyla, had transferred (Akron).
But Heard remained in Stillwater.
