FKA Twigs has resolved her latest legal dispute with ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf.
The two came to an agreement before the case went to court, and the Two Weeks singer is now free to speak about her experiences during her relationship with the actor.
Twigs, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, requested the dismissal of her case in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against LaBeouf after the two resolved a dispute over a confidentiality provision in their settlement agreement.
The dispute stemmed from a lawsuit Twigs filed against LaBeouf in December 2020. The former couple dated from around July 2018 to May 2019. Twigs accused LaBeouf of ***** ual battery, ***** ault and infliction of emotional distress, among other claims.
LaBeouf denied the allegations.
"Twigs stood up for something larger than herself, all female survivors of ***** ual abuse," her attorney Mathew Rosengart told People magazine.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Quinn Mathews took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Alec Burleson had an RBI single to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.
Rookie catcher Leo Bernal also singled home a run for the Cardinals. Mathews (2-3) retired his first 10 batters before walking Bryce Eldridge in the fourth and didn't give up a hit until Grant McCray doubled leading off the sixth.
The 25-year-old rookie left-hander struck out eight and allowed a run on four hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings — the longest of his seven major league starts.
Ryne Stanek stranded two in a scoreless eighth and Riley O'Brien retired Christian Koss on a groundout with runners at second and third for his 37th save in 45 opportunities.
Thomas Saggese singled with one out in the fifth off Giants starter Landen Roupp (9-14) and stole second. Iván Herrera walked to chase Roupp, and Burleson singled on the first pitch from Reiver Sanmartin for his 110th RBI and 61st hit with runners in scoring position — both totals top the majors.

Destiny's Child was one of the biggest girl groups in the world, but high-profile line-up changes and lawsuits plagued their early success.
Two of the founding members, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, filed a lawsuit against manager Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé's dad, for breach of contract, defamation, libel, and fraud, according to Rolling Stone, after claiming he favored Beyoncé and distributed the group's earnings somewhat creatively.
LeToya and LaTavia were then replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin, who left the group after six months, and Destiny's Child became a trio.

The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2002, and LeToya claimed in 2023 that all was forgiven. "Things happened the way they were supposed to happen," she said. "Baby, everybody's fine. We've done our therapy."

The Dodgers stared in the eyes of a third straight defeat, but a walk-off double by Teoscar Hernández lifted the Dodgers to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
The Cardinals were the first to strike against Tarik Skubal, as after St. Louis put the first two men on with a pair of singles, Joshua Báez smacked the third single of the inning through the right side to bring home José Fermín.
Skubal managed to work a scoreless second inning with a pair of bookend strikeouts while leaving two men on, but the Cardinals broke through in the top of the third with a pair of two-out singles from Leo Bernal and Ramón Urías, plating Iván Herrera and doubling the Cardinal lead. Skubal found himself in a groove over his next two innings, but once again put two men on in top of the sixth inning. After striking out Nathan Church for the second out of the inning, Dave Roberts went to the bullpen, pulling the left-hander after 5 2/3 innings.
The Cardinals accounted for 10 hits against Skubal— all singles— which tied his career high for the most hits allowed in a single start. It was the first time Skubal couldn't complete six full innings since he tossed five against the Kansas City Royals on Aug. 11. The Cardinals wouldn't get an extra-base hit until Jordan Walker's double against Evan Phillips in the top of the seventh inning.
For a Dodgers team that struggled to hit with guys in scoring position the game prior, Thursday's matchup replicated those same misfortunes. The Dodgers scratched across a pair of baserunners in the bottom of the first inning, third inning and fifth inning against rookie Quinn Mathews, but each time, the offense found a way to be their own obstacle. The Dodgers were able to tack on one run against Mathews, with a wild pitch to Freddie Freeman in the fifth inning sailing past Herrera to plate Tommy Edman in the fifth.

Jackson Chourio reached another milestone for the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, launching his 20th home run of the season and putting himself in some elite company in the process. The young outfielder wasted no time making an impact, going deep in the opening inning as Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead.
According to ESPN, Chourio's latest homer placed him among a select group of players to accomplish the feat at his age.
Chourio has already etched his name into MLB history before even turning 23. The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder became just the 17th player ever to put together three seasons with at least 20 home runs before reaching that age, joining legendary names such as Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson and Eddie Mathews. Chourio also matched Ryan Braun as the only two players in Brewers history to accomplish the feat.

The 22-year-old has already put together a remarkable start to his young career, and another 20 home run season appears well within reach. He went deep 21 times in each of his first two full seasons and has already reached 20 this year despite missing time after suffering a broken bone during the World Baseball Classic.

Selena Gomez has filed to dismiss the fraud lawsuit against her.
Gomez's lawyer, Mathew S Rosengart, submitted a motion on Wednesday to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Wondermind investors earlier this month, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly magazine.
The Only Murders in the Building star has denied allegations made by investors that she falsely represented the mental health startup's infrastructure, leadership and resources.
"Ms Gomez agreed to support her mother ,Mandy Teefey, who co-founded Wondermind," the filing read.
"Although she invested in and holds a minority stake in the Company, Ms Gomez never agreed to and did not manage the Company. Management was vested in Ms Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey, and Ms Pierson, who ran the Company as co-CEOs and board members. The Company, in turn, retained Ms Gomez as a consultant and conferred on her the ***** le of Chief Impact Officer."
Accusations that Gomez duped investors into putting $1.2 million (£890,000) into Wondermind were made in a lawsuit filed on 13 August, on behalf of a group of five investors who are seeking the return of the money they put into the skittled project.

Earlier this month, investors alleged they were kept in the dark about the company's struggles

Selena Gomez is taking legal action after being accused of fraud by investors in the challenged company Wondermind.
Earlier this month, two companies — Wondermind SRS 44 LLC and Bespoke Wondermind LLC — sued Gomez, 34, her mom Mandy Teefey, 50, and their former business partner Daniella Pierson, 31, claiming the trio "falsely represented" the startup's infrastructure, leadership and resources.

Comedian Matt Mathews has drawn backlash for a blunt exchange about ******* ouns and gender identity that began when Kandi Burruss asked a seemingly simple question about his husband.
Mathews appeared on the August 16 episode of Burruss' Speak On It podcast, where the conversation eventually turned to his relationship with Rob Killgore. Burruss asked when Mathews had met "them," prompting him to immediately respond, "Them? I only got one," according to Entertainment Weekly.
Burruss explained that she had used the gender-neutral ******* oun because she did not know Killgore's ******* ouns and did not want to make an ******* umption that might offend him. Mathews rejected that approach and expanded his response into criticism of they/them ******* ouns, nonbinary identities and the expanding LGBTQ+ acronym.
Mathews acknowledged during the exchange that his comments were likely to upset people. Once clips from the interview began circulating on social media, that prediction proved accurate, with his remarks drawing millions of views and a divided response.
The exchange can be heard in the original Speak On It interview. After Burruss asked when Mathews had met "them," he immediately questioned the wording. "Them? I only got one," Mathews said.

Cornerback Jermaine Mathews Jr. has encountered his share of talented young receivers at Ohio State, covering wave after wave of them during practices over the last four years.
But he thinks there's something different about this year's class of freshmen.
"It's probably the best freshman class I've seen," Mathews said. "The freshmen are nice."
Mathews' comments during preseason training camp added to the buzz surrounding the group led by Brock Boyd and Chris Henry Jr.
While their backgrounds are varied, Boyd and Henry have stood out since spring practices in March and April. They were the first freshmen at any position to lose their black stripes, a milestone for newcomers to the program.

The Baltimore Ravens earned a 24-7 win in their 2026 preseason opener, securing a wire-to-wire victory in Jesse Minter's head coaching debut.
Here is the Baltimore Beatdown staff's reaction to the win:
A very encouraging start to Jesse Minter's debut season. The offense looked smooth and got the young skill guys active early while the defense completely shut down the Eagles offense. Ja'Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, and Matthew Hibner showed flashes of their potential roles in Declan Doyle's offense. A few UDFA's made strong impressions, with Joe ***** nano being the standout. Looking forward to seeing more growth in the next two games. — Mark Myers
While you can never glean much from any preseason game, there was a lot to like for the Ravens against the Eagles. Multiple young players impressed, including rookies Vega Ioane, Ja'Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt, Mathew Hibner, and Joe ***** nano. The defense was suffocating and nearly pitched a shutout, which makes me even more excited to see what the starting unit can do in Week 1 under Jesse Minter. The only real wart on the night for me was the missed field goal by Tyler Loop. Loop is under extreme pressure in his second season after a missed field goal ended Baltimore's playoff hopes last season, and tonight's blunder will only give more life to criticism. — Dustin *****
The Jesse Minter era got off to a great start as the Ravens secured a comfortable preseason victory, something the franchise has done plenty of times over the years. Tyler Huntley performed well in starting action at quarterback and the Ravens received promising showings from their rookie offensive class. Elijah Sarratt, Matthew Hibner and Jakobi Lane led the team in receiving, while Adam Randall rushed for 46 yards with a touchdown. On defense, cornerback Keyon Martin helped boost his stock further with a starring performance. The defense as a whole was dominant, not allowing a score until late in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach. Here's hoping this sets the stage for more stalwart defensive outings for the 2026 season. — Frank Platko

Selena Gomez's legal representation says a new lawsuit alleging the star defrauded investors in her mental health star-up Wondermind is "completely meritless, both factually and legally."
Lawyer Mathew S. Rosengart issued a statement to People on Saturday: "The allegations that Selena Gomez engaged in any way whatsoever in any purported 'fraud' or other wrongdoing are completely meritless, both factually and legally. We will vigorously defend these false allegations and indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims against her."
In a lawsuit filed Thursday by two companies, Wondermind SRS 44 LLC and Bespoke Wondermind LLC, Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey and Wondermind co-founder Daniella Pierson were accused of defrauding investors in the mental health startup, alleging the trio made false representations of the business to stakeholders, including a plan that Gomez would be "intimately involved" in the business's operations. The suit claims damages of around $1.2 million.
"Gomez purported to sign a contract obligating her to perform and then ignored it," the lawsuit read. "The partnerships did not exist. The initiatives never materialized. The app was never built. And for three years, while the Company quietly collapsed around them, not one of its founders, officers or directors said a word to the investors whose money was funding the collapse."
Gomez, Teefey and Pierson first launched Wondermind in 2021 as "a **** e to work it all out every day with candid conversations, physical tools, daily content, and a supportive community." In the lawsuit, investors claim that they did not learn about alleged management issues or struggles at the company – like employees not being paid on time – until The Cut reported on the startup's working conditions last year.

The Seattle Seahawks have made the big, if not controversial decision to sign former Detroit Lions first-round cornerback Terrion Arnold, who's currently facing several felony robbery and kidnapping charges. When Arnold was arrested earlier this summer, the Lions wasted little time in releasing the former Alabama star. However, Arnold drew interest from several teams once he was cleared to work (and travel domestically without an ankle monitor), and the Seahawks were among those teams whose initial interest turned into something much more than that.
Even though Arnold's contract is expected to be incredibly cheap, the issue is whether or not he'll be allowed to play in the regular season. The best case scenario is the charges are dropped and the NFL decides not to take further action by suspending him anyway. Either way, Seattle clearly believes Arnold can help a cornerback room that is far from settled with Riq Woolen gone.
It's only sensible to focus on the football side of the Arnold story. What kind of player are the Seahawks getting? Are his penalty issues correctable? What are his strengths? This is where we hit the emergency **** on and paged Ryan Mathews, who's the Senior Editor for Pride of Detroit, the excellent Detroit Lions SB Nation site. They're plugged into the Lions 100 percent of the way, with Jeremy Reisman doing fantastic work as a credentialed Lions reporter.
In a special 5 Qs and 5 As, I asked Ryan about Arnold's time in Detroit, and whether or not the Seahawks made a good acquisition from a football standpoint. All embedded tweets were inserted by us, not by Ryan.
1.) I've harped on this for a bit given how Seahawks fans viewed Riq Woolen's penalty issues before he left for Philadelphia: Terrion Arnold has been flagged 17 times when you count offsetting/declined penalties. He's only played 24 games total. What gives?

This is where we hit the emergency **** on and paged Ryan Mathews, who's the Senior Editor for Pride of Detroit, the excellent Detroit Lions SB Nation site. They're plugged into the Lions 100 percent of the way, with Jeremy Reisman doing fantastic work as a credentialed Lions reporter.
In a special 5 Qs and 5 As, I asked Ryan about Arnold's time in Detroit, and whether or not the Seahawks made a good acquisition from a football standpoint. All embedded tweets were inserted by us, not by Ryan.
1.) I've harped on this for a bit given how Seahawks fans viewed Riq Woolen's penalty issues before he left for Philadelphia: Terrion Arnold has been flagged 17 times when you count offsetting/declined penalties. He's only played 24 games total. What gives?

For sophomore cornerback Devin Sanchez, every snap he lines up against star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith at Ohio State's preseason camp is an opportunity to improve.
"Going out there, guarding JJ for every practice, matching up with him every time, that's uncomfortable," Sanchez said Aug. 6. "I feel like you've got to be a real stud to go out there and do that."
Following a self-described "OK" freshman year, Sanchez is embracing the challenging moments in practice, which have mainly included Smith standing directly across the line of scrimmage.
Sanchez joined the Buckeyes last season as a five-star recruit out of Houston and secured a spot in the rotation behind starter Jermaine Mathews Jr. by the season opener against Texas. However, with Mathews and Davison Igbinosun slotting in at cornerback for the majority of plays, Sanchez was limited to an average of just over 31 snaps across 13 games, recording 15 tackles.
Igbinosun's departure from Ohio State – he is now with the Buffalo Bills – opened a starting position that has essentially belonged to Sanchez since spring practice.

Phil Collins' children came close to having to say their final goodbyes to their father.
The "You'll be in My Heart" singer, 75, has suffered from declining health in recent years, most recently spending time in the hospital last summer following a knee surgery.
In April 2024, he was also hospitalized in Switzerland, where he was unconscious as a result of his heavy alcohol use, leading his children to prepare possible final goodbyes.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Phil, who is a father to kids Joely, 52, Simon, 48, Lily, 36, Nicholas, 24, and Mathew, 20, explained how during the incident, his state was such that "there were some decisions to be made about 'Do we keep Phil on life support?' kind of thing."

Bunnie XO is showing off her extravagant new surroundings just as details emerge about her confidential divorce settlement with Jelly Roll.
The "Dumb Blonde" host gave fans a glimpse inside a sprawling home complete with oversized closets, dedicated shoe storage, an outdoor shower, and a wellness center large enough to accommodate more than a dozen guests.
Although Bunnie did not reveal whether the residence was one of the properties divided in the settlement, the tour arrived hours after reports that the former couple had reached an agreement covering their homes, vehicles, intellectual property, and even an aircraft.
Bunnie shared an Instagram video documenting her friend Matt Mathews' first visit to the property. "Matt seeing the new house for the first time," the 46-year-old podcaster captioned the clip.
Mathews appeared overwhelmed as Bunnie guided him through the residence, which features a makeup room lined with shelving, an expansive closet, and a separate ****** e dedicated to shoes. He was equally stunned by the outdoor shower and the size of the primary bedroom, joking about how small his own home felt in comparison.

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The bat flip that won a Dominican championship in January 2025 went viral. Future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols has called him the future of the sport. He hit 45 home runs in his age-21 season and came up just one shy of a franchise record.
All that did not go to Junior Caminero’s head. Instead it taught him to keep things smaller.
“I feel more humble,” the Tampa Bay Rays’ slugger said before Tuesday night’s game against the New York Yankees at Tropicana Field. “The more I play, the more I learn, the more I feel humble.”
That must be getting hard as Caminero is emerging as the face of an organization that has hunted for a face for decades. He has earned his second All-Star nod and is heading into the Home Run Derby Monday night for the second straight year (he finished second in 2025).
The native of the Dominican Republic hit 78 home runs before he turned 23 on July 5, and last year’s 45 homers were the second most any hitter has ever hit in an age-21 season, behind only Eddie Mathews’ 47 in 1953. He's one of five players in history to finish a 45-homer season before turning 23, joining Mathews, Johnny Bench, Joe DiMaggio and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Three are in the Hall of Fame. The other is still playing.

From now until preseason camp starts in August, Land-Grant Holy Land will be writing articles around a different theme every week. This week is all about the most important questions yet unanswered for the season. You can catch up on all of the Theme Week content and our ”Burning Questions” articles here.
If there’s one man to be confident in going into the 2026 Season, it’s the Buckeyes’ defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. Admittedly, I didn’t think I would feel this way about him when he was hired in the Winter of 2025. But after what Patricia did last year with the Buckeyes’ defense, following tremendous turnover from that great 2024 National Championship defense, Patricia and the Buckeyes’ defense are poised to answer the question of whether they will be the force they’ve been for the last two seasons.
There’s still talent on this defense. Much like last year, it’s going to be about guys from the previous season stepping into larger roles. We saw those guys last year step into those larger roles and thrive. It’s a confidence boost that can happen again this season.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Beau Atkinson, Eddrick Houston, Payton Pierce, Jermaine Mathews Jr., and Devin Sanchez; those are household names. That’s a good place to start in keeping this defense atop the college football ranks.
The one question within this burning question is: Who is that star player the Buckeyes’ defense can build around? For the last two seasons, that was Caleb Downs. But it wasn’t just him. Heck, Downs wasn’t even the first Buckeye defensive player drafted this past April. He was the third. That tells you how great the whole Buckeyes’ defense was and how deep they were.

Australia goalkeeper Patrick Beach had no idea he was going to be taken off for the World Cup penalty shootout with Egypt Friday as coach Tony Popovic came under fire for the baffling decision.
Beach, 22, headed to the tournament as number two to seasoned Socceroos shot-stopper and captain Mathew Ryan.
But in a shock he started every game and proved rock solid, only to be substituted deep into extra-time in the last 32 clash against Egypt in Dallas as penalties loomed.
Popovic brought on Ryan but he failed to pull off a save and Egypt won 4-2 on spot kicks to set up a last-16 meeting with Argentina after the game finished at 1-1.
"You have to talk to the coaches about that," Beach told Australian media of the goalkeeping switch.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Australian midfielder Aiden O’Neill said the excitement of the 2026 World Cup was a major reason he left Belgium for the United States in his prime.
O'Neill joined New York City FC during the 2025 Major League Soccer season, sharing a locker room with fellow Australian Kai Trewin and several Americans including U.S. goalkeeper Matt Freese.
After a season and a half as teammates, O’Neill and Freese have been thrown into the biggest roles of their lives. They'll be on opposite sides on Friday when Australia faces the United States in Seattle.
“We’re excited to play against each other,” O’Neill said. “It’d be good to get one up on him, that’s for sure.”
When manager Tony Popovic boldly left veterans Mathew Ryan and Jackson Irvine out of the starting XI for Australia’s group opener against Turkey, O’Neill quickly became the leader of the Socceroos’ four-man midfield. Meanwhile, Freese got the start in his first-ever World Cup match against Paraguay.
