Birthday weekends rarely look this magical, and Kate Hudson can agree on that. The actress has shared a photo carousel of her daughter's birthday from a theme park celebration, and the smiles are impossible to miss. Wands at the ready, robes swishing, and a birthday cake waiting back home, the day had it all.
Mom to three kids, Kate Hudson celebrated her daughter's birthday with a weekend outing at the Universal Studios theme park. She posted a carousel on Instagram with a short caption. She wrote, "Best weekend celebrating the best girl!!! Thank you unistudios for the 'best ride ever!'"
Birthday girl, Rani Rose, made the most of every stop, grinning happily at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. In one short clip, the 8-year-old stood in a dimly lit shop with a wand in her hand. In a recreation of the wand scene in the "Harry Potter" movies, Rani's hair glowed in the spotlight when she got her wand.
Another photo showed Rani with her friend in matching Gryffindor robes with maroon and gold lining and striped headbands. Both pointed their wands straight at the camera, grinning. Elsewhere, a Hogwarts street sign towered over a cobbled square, with Rani posing underneath.
The day was not all spells. Hudson's carousel also showed kids posing outside Super Nintendo World. A wide shot captured the Mario-themed plaza under a bright blue sky. A group selfie from a wooden ride car showed Hudson with her daughter beaming behind the camera.

It was a back-and-forth battle against the Arizona State Sun Devils in the first half, but the Texas A&M Aggies put their foot on the pedal with two massive pick-sixes to seal a Week 2 victory at Kyle Field on Saturday afternoon.
One of the most integral improvements the Aggies wanted to make this offseason was forcing more turnovers. After recording no interceptions against Missouri State in the season opener, Marco Jones and Julio Humphrey took their picks to the house for six.
Meanwhile, electric wide receivers Mario Craver and Isaiah Horton hauled in a touchdown pass apiece, in what was a solid overall outing from the offensive playmakers. While there are still a plethora of adjustments to be made in the trenches, quarterback Marcel Reed still threw for 163 yards and three touchdowns, with just one interception.
In what was a record day for the 12th Man, the Maroon and White came through with a massive 48-20 win over the Big 12 representatives to move to 2-0 in 2026.
Here are some of the best social media reactions from Texas A&M's dominant victory over Arizona State in Week 2:

MINNEAPOLIS — The start to Kamario Taylor's 2026 season as Mississippi State football's quarterback has led to a crazy stat.
The Bulldogs have scored points on 12 consecutive possessions when Taylor has been on the field.
They took that streak into halftime on Sept. 12 with a 28-6 lead at Minnesota. MSU has scored four touchdowns on its four drives against the Gophers.
It's also the second straight time that Mississippi State has begun the game with four consecutive touchdowns.
Taylor is 11-for-13 with 181 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and 37 rushing yards.

Ryan Garcia's emotion in the ring was palpable as he had the green WBC welterweight ******* le wrapped around his waist following a one-sided unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios in February.
But the victory tour is long over now. A far more stoic Garcia arrived in Las Vegas this week for his first ******* le defense against Conor Benn, a boisterous British contender and son of Hall of Famer Nigel Benn.
Benn was fighting at 160 pounds last November as he avenged his lone career loss in a rematch against Chris Eubank Jr., but sucked himself down to the welterweight division's 147-pound limit to vie for Garcia's ******* le.
"I don't think he's mentally stronger than me," said Garcia at the final press conference. "I think that he knows how to take an (expletive) whooping, if that's mentally strong? ... Me, I'm just going to be focused and taking advantage of his inexperience."
Follow along below for The Tennessean's live updates throughout the Garcia vs. Benn fight card.

Diego Moreira admits he needed a little more time to adapt to Serie A and Milan after scoring twice against Lazio, but Mario Gila confessed their 'first half was honestly disastrous.'
This was a truly chaotic encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, as Lazio had been leading comfortably 2-0 at the break thanks to goals from Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin.

The Rossoneri made a triple substitution for the second half, and it paid off, as Diego Moreira scored twice in 120 seconds to level the result.
Christian Pulisic also impressed on his season debut after a microfracture at the World Cup, with his fellow USMNT player Yunus Musah also making an impact.

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.

Marion Harding and Highland kicked off the Mid Ohio Athletic Conference season with another instant classic.
Last year Highland survived a late rally by Marion Harding to win in overtime. This season it was the Presidents' turn to win a wild and close one in Week 4 action on Sept. 11.
Marion Harding's Jaden Jordan hauled in an 11-yard touchdown pass from Dez Feliciano with 12 seconds left to give the Prexies a 26-22 victory over the Scots.
The Presidents led 19-8 with eight seconds left in the third quarter, but Highland's Robby Schmidt engineered scoring drives capped by his runs of 15 and 20 yards to take a 22-19 lead with 5:35 to go.
Harding (3-1, 1-0) finished with 15 first downs and 365 total yards, while the Scots (1-3, 0-1) ended with 15 first downs and 307 yards.

Uncrowned has Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks, highlights and start time for the Garcia vs. Benn fight card on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Two of boxing's biggest and most polarizing stars go head-to-head as Ryan Garcia defends his WBC welterweight ******* le against Conor Benn in the night's main event.
Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs) captured the WBC welterweight ******* le with a dominant unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios this past February in Las Vegas. He has two defeats: a 2025 decision loss to Rolando "Rolly" Romero for the WBA welterweight ******* le and a seventh-round TKO at the hands of Gervonta "Tank" Davis in 2023.
Benn (25-1, 14 KOs) narrowly fell short against Chris Eubank Jr. in a Fight of the Year in April 2025. He avenged that defeat last November, knocking down Eubank twice in Round 12 to seal a masterclass performance.
Benn shocked the boxing world this past February by announcing a defection from Eddie Hearn's Matchroom to Dana White's Zuffa Boxing. Benn outpointed Regis Prograis in his Zuffa debut in April.
In the night's co-feature, former two-time IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia (30-0, 23 KOs) challenges WBC champion Noel Mikaelian (28-3, 12 KOs). Although there is no official confirmation yet, the WBC cruiserweight ******* le isn't expected to be on the line, with Mikalian set to be stripped by the sanctioning body upon the start of the bout.

Tyler Perry has brought Elon Musk and Alec Baldwin's high-profile lawyer to his defense team in the ***** ual ***** ault lawsuit. Perry's lawyer is a former attorney who has also represented other notable figures such as Jay-Z, Eric Adams, and Bobby Shmurda.
Alex Spiro has officially joined Tyler Perry's defense team in the ongoing ***** ual ***** ault/battery lawsuit, reports My News LA. Spiro is a member of the law firm of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP but works in the New York office.
The Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brock T. Hammond approved Spiro's application, on Wednesday, to participate in the complaint brought against Perry and Lionsgate by actor Mario Rodriguez.
Last year, Mario Rodriguez, who appeared alongside Tyler Perry in 2016's Boo! A Madea Halloween filed a $77 million ***** ual lawsuit against him.
The lawsuit was filed in California and accused Perry of "unwanted ***** ual advances" across multiple years. It claimed instances of ***** ual battery and ***** ault at Perry's home in Los Angeles. The lawsuit also claimed that Lionsgate studio didn't do anything and ignored his complaints.

It has been a rough start to the season for the New England Patriots. They dropped the Super Bowl rematch against the Seattle Seahawks 13-10 and lost their star wide receiver AJ Brown for at least the next four games in the process with a high ankle sprain.
Brown exited the game in the third quarter and did not return. New England scored all their points in the first half and were held without points after Brown exited. Their top receivers are now Romeo Doubs, Demario Douglas and Mack Hollins although quarterback Drake Maye could not seem to get on the same page as Doubs who did not have a single catch.
Douglas finished the opener with five catches but only 20 yards while Hollins was the Patriots' leading receiver with 51 total yards. Rookie tight end Eli Raridon scored New England's only touchdown of the game in the second quarter.
Not only are the Patriots without Brown for the next four weeks at least, but they are also currently without running back TreVeyon Henderson who missed the opener. It is unclear whether or not he will be available for New England's week two matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Perhaps in the only bright spot of the game for them, Rhamondre Stevenson had a good game in relief of Henderson with 95 scrimmage yards - 51 rushing yards and 44 receiving yards on five receptions. Nonetheless, adjusting the offense to Brown being out of the lineup is going to be difficult for the reigning AFC Champions who will face the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills without their top receiver.

Patriots Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels Describes Team's 'All-Hands' Approach Without A.J. Brown originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Before the Patriots could get a feel for the impact A.J. Brown will have on their offense, they lost him to injury for weeks to come.
Brown will be out until at least Week 6 after being placed on IR on Friday, dealing with a high ankle sprain from his Week 1 exit vs. Seattle. Rather than bringing in any new receivers, it appears New England will be turning to some of its younger pass catchers to alleviate the offense.
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Thursday on a radio show that the team will be taking "an all-hands-on-deck approach" to replacing Brown's production at wide receiver, which likely means more playing time for names like DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III.
"Any injury that you get at this time of the season, you kind of approach it with an all-hands-on-deck approach," McDaniels said Thursday, per ESPN. "We got a lot of different skill guys that can do a lot of different things. There isn't one person on the roster that can replace anybody like A.J. -- in the middle of a game or a stretch of a season. So we'll band together and figure out what we can do well and then try to get guys in positions to play to their strengths."

Saturday isn't just another game for the Oregon Ducks. A couple of milestones are attached as the boys in green and white travel down to Stillwater to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
For starters, Dan Lanning has something on the line this week against the Cowboys. With a victory, the Ducks' 40-year-old head coach will celebrate his 50th career win at Oregon, which would put him in an elite club in program history.
That milestone may not come with a banner or a trophy, but it puts him in rarefied air in Eugene; the last Oregon coach to cross 50 wins was Mike Bellotti, back in 2001, his seventh year at the helm.
Since Bellotti, coaches like Chip Kelly, Mark Helfrich, Willie Taggart, and Mario Cristobal have all fallen short of the mark that Lanning is about to hit in his fifth season. In Oregon history, only three other coaches have crossed the 50-win mark: Bellotti, Rich Brooks, and Len Casanova.
Chip Kelly notably had 46 wins in four seasons as the Ducks' head coach.

New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for at least four weeks because of the high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 1.
SOURCE: Ian Rapoport – NFL Network
Why It Matters: Brown is a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list since he will miss at least four weeks. Romeo Doubs should be the main receiver for the time being, while DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry should be reliable short-area targets in the passing game. Mack Hollins will likely see a bigger workload and could be a possible flex option over the next few weeks. Kyle Williams could also see a role but is not a fantasy option yet.

3 games Miami WR Malachi Toney could cement his Heisman Trophy race originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
If you haven't heard about Malachi Toney by now, you are living under a rock. The 18-year-old prodigy out of Liberty City, Florida has taken the college world by storm after his astonishing freshman season. He helped lead Miami Hurricanes to another national championship appearance.
Toney's week one performance against Stanford on Saturday will never be forgotten, literally, because he set the Miami Hurricanes' single-game receiving record with 234 yards and a hat trick. Eddie Brown previously set the record in 1984 against Boston College with 220 receiving yards. He finished his 2025 campaign with 1,211 receiving yards, 109 receptions, and 10 touchdowns, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards at 18 years old.
Miami head coach Mario Cristobal was asked about Toney on the Pat McAfee Show and gave nothing but praise to his star-studded receiver: "He's put on 12–14 pounds of muscle man; he can accelerate and decelerate at a higher rate." Cristobal said. "He is stronger, he is faster, and then the time he puts in it's never changed, he always tries to push the envelope with that."
Cristobal's praise and the stats tell the story of the player Toney is, but three games could close the door on his competition.

Texas A&M made quite the statement in Week 1 of the 2026 college football season, shutting out Missouri State 50-0 thanks to an elite defensive effort, limiting the Bears to a pedestrian 67 total yards, while starting quarterback Marcel Reed was highly impressive, completing 20/31 for 233 yards and 2 touchdowns
This game was simply a tune-up before the Aggies embark on their first nine-game SEC schedule, which includes a brutal road stretch in the second half of the season. However, Texas A&M will host Arizona State for an early Saturday afternoon kickoff, one day after the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
Last Saturday, Arizona State defeated Morgan State 70-7 behind former Kentucky quarterback Cutter Boley, who threw for a career-high and program-record 387 yards and 6 touchdowns, which, no matter the opponent, is extremely impressive. During his final season with the Wildcats, Boley wasn't highly regarded as a passer, but he always had the potential to improve.
While three Arizona State wide receivers recorded over 100 yards, transfer WR Omarion Miller looks like the biggest threat to the Aggie secondary after reeling in 8 receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown, looking like the Sun Devils' No. 1 receiver. Texas A&M never faced Boley during his time at Kentucky, but you can be sure Mike Elko and DC Lyle Hemphill are well aware of his breakout performance.
While Boley's improved accuracy and touch were impressive, several of his touchdown passes were off short passes or screens, while Morgan State's secondary was, well, very, very bad. Facing Texas A&M's deep cornerback and safety rotation will be his biggest challenge yet while playing inside what should be a near-sold-out Kyle Field.

Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could've been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday's matchup against AC Milan was the fact that the Bianconeri had gotten the results without reaching the level of performance they desired. Milan were in the same boat, winning two straight under new manager Ruben Amorim but not convincing in either. It felt as though the team that managed to perform better would be the likelier to come out of the Allianz on top.
It was ultimately Juve that had the better of a game that was equal parts chaotic and sloppy. But once again they failed to take advantage of their performances. They failed to make the most of the chances they made over the game's first 70 minutes before Milan scored on — stop me if you've heard this one before — their first shot on target of the match. It took until the second minute of stoppage time for Juve to finally even things out, when Federico Gatti powered home a Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards to earn the Old Lady a 1-1 draw.
The problems for Juventus were the same as we've talked about all season so far. The finishing wasn't nearly good enough, the passing was disjointed and often inaccurate, and overall creativity seemed to be lacking. But in spite of all of that, they can honestly say that they were the better of the two sides and deserved victory — even more so when you consider the fact that Milan's goal really should've been disallowed for a foul in the buildup that was never flagged by VAR. Considering they were missing seven players due to injury, several of whom were extremely important, it's far too early to start abandoning hope of a successful year—provided they make the improvements that their play so far suggest is possible.
Luciano Spalletti was missing Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, Khéphren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. His 4-2-3-1 formation gave several players their first starts of the year. Guglielmo Vicario started behind the back four of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Jhon Lucumí, and Zeki Celik. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz started in the middle of the park, while Francisco Conceição joined Nico González and Kerim Alajbegovic behind Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Amorim missed Matteo Gabbia due to an ankle injury, but returned a few players to the starting lineup who had been eased back into things after long World Cup runs. Mike Maignan started in goal, ahead of a 3-4-2-1 setup that was a slight tweak to Amorim's usual 3-4-3. Former Juve prospect Koni De Winter joined Strahinja Pavolovic and Mario Gila in defense. Big-money signing Diego Moreira got his first start of the season opposite Pervis Estupiñán at the wing-back spots, while Luka Modric and Yunis Musah manned the double pivot. Adrien Rabiot joined Alexis Saele
