The relationship between Hollywood and luxury fashion continues to evolve, as brands increasingly look beyond traditional celebrity endorsements to build deeper, more strategic partnerships with talent.
"It's not about one-offs anymore," said Joseph Thornton-Allan, who co-leads fashion brand partnerships at William Morris Endeavor, helping connect talent with fashion houses and shaping the partnerships that define their careers. "It genuinely is about relationships. So many of my clients have genuine, authentic relationships with designers, and they've been with them for years and years."

New Zealand vs India 4th T20I prediction, lineups and Eden Park pitch report — who will win? originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
India have already won the series, and New Zealand are running out of bowlers. The fourth T20I at Eden Park on Friday (12.30pm IST) will offer the hosts little comfort.
India chased 199 in 13.2 overs in Wellington, scoring 118 in the first six, the highest powerplay total in men's T20I history. Now they move to a ground where the boundaries are very short.
India have scored at 10.45 an over across 38 T20Is this year, the best of any Full Member. New Zealand have managed 9.37 across 23 innings. Finn Allen apart, their batters do not hit with the same power, and their bowling attack has been stripped back further. Lockie Ferguson is out for the rest of the series, joining Matt Henry and Zak Foulkes on the injury list. Blair Tickner may play.
India have won 22 of their 34 T20Is against New Zealand, losing 11 with one tie, and they have taken eight of the last nine meetings. Their only real choice is how much to rest, with the ODI and Test series still to come. Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy and Shivam Dube have yet to play on this tour, and Mayank Yadav could return. Even so, the top order of Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer would be hard for any attack to contain.

Bengaluru: When batters are scoring at 11.46 runs an over, even quality bowling attacks can be made to look ordinary. India's T20I series against the West Indies has exposed the vulnerability of the hosts' pace unit, with flat pitches, dew and short boundaries proving a punishing combination for bowlers.
West Indies' stunning 250-run chase in Ranchi, completed with nine **** to spare, prompted a stern **** sment from India head coach Gautam Gambhir.
"These bowlers are our bowlers, not someone else's bowlers. Their careers are at stake," he had said, underlining the scrutiny facing the attack.
With the exception of Indore, where India successfully defended 223, the bowlers struggled to contain a fearless West Indies batting line-up. While the absence of Jasprit **** rah and, to an extent, Hardik Pandya has been felt, the bigger concern for the team management is the inconsistency shown by Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav.
The two young quicks, Mayank and Prince, have alternated between brilliance and waywardness during the series, highlighting the challenges of adjusting to different match situations. The fourth T20I in Hyderabad offered a clear example. India conceded 18 extras, including 13 wides. Arshdeep accounted for six, while Mayank and Prince leaked two and one, respectively. Their attempts to execute wide yorkers and fuller deliveries repeatedly missed the mark, allowing the West Indies batters to maintain the pressure.
India's lack of proven T20 pace-bowling depth has consequently become a talking point. That has put renewed focus on the return of Bhuvneshwar **** ar, whose recall after nearly four years away from the national side could prove timely.
The experienced swing bowler has enjoyed a productive run in the IPL, taking 45 wickets across the last two seasons. More importantly, his success has been built on control and execution rather than sheer pace, qualities that India's younger quicks have often lacked in this series.
Conditions, however, have offered little respite to bowlers. High-scoring surfaces and heavy dew have meant that even small lapses have come at a significant cost.
As India prepare for a demanding tour of New Zealand, they know the challenges ahead will be very different. The pitches may offer more **** istance, but the key question remains whether the bowling group can quickly adapt and improve its consistency.
On the eve of the rain-affected series finale in Bengaluru, fast-bowling coach Morne Morkel urged observers to consider the physical and mental demands placed on modern cricketers.
"We sometimes forget that mental fatigue plays a big part. We have to manage that and be smart with it. Some of the players went for the Asian Games and then straight into a full series against the West Indies. These guys are also human," Morkel said.
"Execution and skills become better when you've recovered, slept well and mentally refreshed. That's a challenge. We're going to N

Megyn Kelly criticized Mariska Hargitay over her response to a ****** ual ****** ault case involving Cornell University students. During her podcast, Kelly questioned Hargitay's comments and also criticized the outfit worn by the actress's 15-year-old daughter at the 2026 Emmy Awards.
The criticism came after Hargitay spoke out about a case involving a former Cornell student who alleged that seven fraternity members drugged and ****** ually ****** aulted her in October 2024, according to OK! Magazine.
The case drew renewed attention in September after the woman filed a civil lawsuit. The Tompkins County District Attorney later reopened the criminal investigation and said the case would be presented to a grand jury.
Hargitay, who stars in Law & Order: SVU and founded the Joyful Heart Foundation, criticized Cornell's handling of the case. She also shared posts calling for consequences for the accused men, writing, "Yes, I think we should ruin the futures of adult men who drug and gang r— a woman."
Kelly began her podcast segment by discussing Hargitay's career and appearance at the Emmys. Hargitay hosted the ceremony and attended with her family, including her 15-year-old daughter, Amaya.

Mariska Hargitay is hosting the 78th Emmy Awards, and she's already won big ahead of the televised ceremony. She nabbed two Emmys for directing and producing My Mom Jayne, a biopic about her late mother, Jayne Mansfield. Since the movie came out, the Law & Order: SVU star has received support from her family, who posed with her on the red carpets at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and 2026 Tribeca Film Festival.
Now that she's taking up hosting duties, Hargitay is sure to be cheered on by her husband, Peter Hermann, and their three kids. The 62-year-old actress has spoken often about being a parent. "The thing that's made me a better parent is my kids," Hargitay told People in 2018. "Because they taught me to really listen. My husband is my North Star, and my kids are my teachers." Get all the facts about August, Amaya, and Andrew Hermann below.

Almost two years after marrying Hermann, whom Hargitay met on the set of Law & Order: SVU, they welcomed their first child together. August was born on June 28, 2006, when the actress was 42. A few months later, Hargitay won her first Emmy.
Now 20 years old, August has been spotted visiting the Law & Order: SVU set in New York City as recently as Season 27. He's been photographed with his mother at various outings, from red carpets to New York Knicks games to the US Open.

Two big trees in Addie Reed's backyard are connected by a soccer net that her dad, Jon, put up.
It was a tradition to play a family pickup game together after dinner, Reed said.
Maya Bourque has fond memories of going to the soccer field with her dad, Steve, and older sister, Sophie, to get some practice in.
"Sophie would be able to practice her crosses and whatnot and my dad would practice easy control of the ball and traps with me," Bourque said.
Bourque and Reed's last names are prominent within the Sunapee High School soccer programs. The lifelong friends and senior center backs for the Lakers girls team are adding to their family legacies.

BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Israel's military has cleared Hezbollah fighters holed up in tunnels under the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Friday, though the Iran-backed group did not immediately comment.
Israel had said Hezbollah fighters were embedded in tunnels under the ridge, which overlooks a wide area and had become one of the most hotly contested areas in the Israel-Hezbollah war, despite a ceasefire announced in June.
Reuters reported on Thursday that Iran had warned the United States last month that it would respond forcefully to an Israeli ****** ault on its Hezbollah allies' positions within the ridge.
"The mission was completed and the tunnels were cleared of terrorists," Katz said on social media, after a statement by the military late on Thursday saying it had operational control of the ridge.

Serena and Venus Williams will take the court in Arthur Ashe Stadium Friday night at the U.S. Open.
The sisters will kick off the night session against No. 14 seeds Maya Joint and H.C. Chan in women's doubles. The match will air on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. ET.
Ironically, Williams also faced Joint, the 20-year-old Australian, in her return to the singles court at Wimbledon after nearly four years off, losing in the first round 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-3.
The Williams sisters have played doubles together at the U.S. Open nine times (1997, '99, 2000-01, '09, '12-14, '22), going 27-7 and winning both the 1999 and 2009 ******* les.
Serena played in the U.S. Open's Mixed Doubles Championship last week with Carlos Alcaraz, reaching the quarterfinals. She did not play singles, but Venus did and lost in the first round to fellow American Sofia Kenin.

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams is getting back on the court against Maya Joint — this time with sister Venus by her side.
The Williams sisters were drawn Tuesday to face the team of Hao-Ching Chan and Joint, who beat Serena at Wimbledon this summer, in their opening women's doubles match at the U.S. Open.
Serena Williams, 44, returned this year after four years out of action and lost to Joint, a 20-year-old from Australia, 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3. She injured her knee in the match and had to pull out of her planned doubles match at the All England Club with Venus, 46.
But they are set to compete at the U.S. Open, where the Williams sisters won the ****** le in 1999 and 2009 and are 27-7 in their nine appearances. They last played in 2022, losing in the first round in what was expected to be Serena's final match in Flushing Meadows.
Joint and Chan are the No. 14-seeded team.

The future is bright, and the future is now for Indiana Fever writes Robin Lundberg, as he believes the current crop of WNBA stars led by Caitlin Clark will bring plenty of success in Team USA's campaign in Berlin for the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup.
With plenty of firepower in coach Kara Lawson's side, many feel that the time has come for the passing of the baton from the likes of Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi a decade ago to Clark and Angel Reese as they lead the charge for Team USA.
In a video posted on X on Sunday, Lindberg shared his thoughts on the "new era" of women's basketball in the country and how it will give more hope for the growth of the sport.
"Anytime you get this changing of the guard, in real time for Team USA, that is reason for increased interest," Lindberg said. "Being representative of this new era, it's nice to see that for Team USA."
He also pointed out that the trio of Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers will surely turn a lot of heads once the tournament starts on Friday.

WNBA star Angel Reese addressed online critics head-on after facing backlash over swimsuit selfies posted to her social media. Refusing to apologize or change her personal brand, Reese pushed back against public commentary about how female athletes choose to present themselves outside of basketball.
Reese defended her right to share lifestyle content without facing unwanted ******* ual attention. She also said fame can make people forget that she is still a young woman dealing with the pressure of public life.
The comments came on "Unapologetically Angel," the podcast Reese hosts with co-host Maya Reese. The conversation started after co-host Maya Reese asked Angel for her take on people in the media and online who treat her confidence in her body as justification for ******* ualizing her.
Reese said she simply does not accept that logic. "I don't know what that means because I'm a beautiful woman, I've been posting pictures in my bikinis, I got a nice body, and I work hard for it," Reese said. "If I want to post a picture of my bikini, I should be able to without being ******* ualized where I'm saying I'm asking for it."

Three LPGA golfers have won consecutive tournaments in 2026. Might there be a fourth this week?
Miyu Yamashita of ******* an, who won last week's CPKC Women's Open in a rout by nine shots, shot 2-under 70 on Friday. She had it to 10 under and the solo lead at one point but a late bogey dropped her into a three-way tie for the lead at the FM Championship.
Yamashita has two wins this season and a third this week would put her alongside three golfers who have won back-to-back starts in 2026: Hyo Joo Kim (Fortinet and Ford in March), Nelly Korda (Chevron and Riviera Maya in April) and Haeran Ryu (KPMG Women's PGA and Amundi Evian) in late June/early July.
Yamashita started on the back nine and birdie Nos. 16 and 17. A bogey on No. 1 was followed by birdies at Nos. 2 and 6 before one more bogey at the eighth hole. A somewhat ho-hum round but she's co-leading alongside Kim, and Allisen Corpuz, who has yet to win in 2026. Two golfers tied for fourth, Morgane Metraux and Ruoning Yin, posted 7-under 65s. Suvichaya Vinijchaitham, tied for ninth, also shot 65, the best score of the day Friday.
Defending champ Lottie Woad is tied for 27th after a 73 on Friday.

Will Harris spent his spring and summer months trying to provide his best player advice regarding her future. For Harris, the Troy High girls' basketball coach, that meant having long conversations with his daughter, Amaya Harris, regarding whether she'd remain with the Flying Horses or leave to play at a prep school.
Father and daughter spent the majority of that time prior to the start of the new school year believing they'd both stay with Troy. But the opportunity that presented itself for Amaya Harris to head to Darrow School - a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council that claimed a 2025 Class AA ***** le - was one that was too good to pass up.
Amaya Harris, 15, is a 6-foot guard who led Troy to the Colonial Council ***** le during the winter and was named the league's Most Valuable Player as a freshman. She has reclassified and is now a member of the Class of 2030, and is already in attendance at Darrow.
"It is definitely different, but in my past few days I have really been enjoying it, for sure," Amaya Harris said. "It was definitely a hard decision. I was going back and forth on it. From about May, it was, 'Should I stay at Troy or should I leave?' When it got to July, I played in New York vs. New York (and Darrow coach Jelani) Williams was my coach, and I realized after that (Darrow) was a great place for me to go to be with the coaching, the team and the environment. This is the best place for me."
The New York vs. New York event starts in July and features elite players battling in New York City in such places as Dyckman Park and Rucker Park. Amaya Harris, competing for the NY Gauchos, excelled.

Father and daughter spent the majority of that time prior to the start of the new school year believing they'd both stay with Troy. But the opportunity that presented itself for Amaya Harris to head to Darrow School - a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council that claimed a 2025 Class AA ***** le - was one that was too good to pass up.
Amaya Harris, 15, is a 6-foot guard who led Troy to the Colonial Council ***** le during the winter and was named the league's Most Valuable Player as a freshman. She has reclassified and is now a member of the Class of 2030, and is already in attendance at Darrow.

Serena and Venus Williams will play doubles together at the US Open in their first Grand Slam outing as a pairing for four years.
The American greats, two-time winners of the women's doubles **** le in New York, were handed a wildcard entry by the United States Tennis **** ociation (USTA).
The last time the Williams sisters teamed up at a slam was at the 2022 US Open in what was Serena's final tournament before she "evolved away" from tennis.
Serena made her return to the sport in doubles at Queen's in June before being given the final Wimbledon women's singles wildcard.
The 44-year-old lost 6-3 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 to Australia's Maya Joint and sustained a knee injury that ruled her out of the women's doubles, where she was due to play with Venus.

Montreal (6-10-5) has a season-long four-game unbeaten streak.
Rubén Ramos Jr. and Maya Yoshida each scored a goal for the Galaxy (6-9-7), who had beaten San Jose 1-0 on Wednesday to snap a six-game winless streak.

Unfortunately for Montreal fans, their initial jubilation was cut short. The visitors struck twice thanks to goals from Ruben Ramos Junior and Maya Yoshida for 2-1.
However, things then blew up for the leaders just after Sánchez entered the pitch.

In what could be her first step on the road back to the U.S. Open, Serena Williams played tennis on U.S. soil for the first time in nearly four years Monday, teaming with her sister Venus in doubles at the Cincinnati Open. The sisters looked rusty in a first-round match against Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns, losing 6-2, 1-6, 1-0(8).
It was just Williams' fourth match, and her first on a hard court, since she opened the second chapter of her illustrious career earlier this summer. Four years after saying she was "evolving away" from tennis after the 2022 U.S. Open, the 23-time Grand Slam champion began her comeback on grass in June, pairing with Canadian rising star Victoria Mboko to win a doubles match at Queen's in London and ending her expedited grass-court season with a first-round singles loss at Wimbledon to the Australian Maya Joint in three tight sets.
The Williams sisters, who together have won 14 Grand Slam doubles ****** les, were supposed to team up for doubles at Wimbledon but had to withdraw before their first match because of a knee injury that Serena, 44, picked up playing Joint.
Serena Williams hasn't yet announced her plans — for singles and either of the doubles events — for the U.S. Open later this month, but if she decides she is fit enough to play, the opportunity is there for her to follow the same playbook that she used ahead of Wimbledon and contest a couple of doubles matches before taking to the singles court. The U.S. Open is holding three wild-card entries open for its lid-lifting mixed doubles tournament, the field for which was announced Monday, which could allow Williams the opportunity to get more matches under her belt. The U.S. Open's main draw singles event begins Aug. 31.
On Monday, Williams looked to be moving well in a first set that was understandably sluggish considering her lack of recent matches.

CHICAGO (AP) — Alec Burleson and Jordan Walker both homered and finished with three hits and four RBIs, and the St. Louis Cardinals pounded the Chicago Cubs 11-4 on Sunday for a second straight win at Wrigley Field.
Burleson has homered in consecutive games, boosting his total to 21 to tie his career high. Walker's drive, his 24th, was just the second in 30 games for the All-Star right fielder and capped the Cardinals' six-run fourth inning.
Walker doubled twice and Burleson once to help St. Louis cruise to its fifth win in seven games.
Joshua Báez, who became the first player to hit three home runs in his first three at-bats in the major leagues on Saturday, went 0 for 5 with three strikeouts.
Pete Crow-Armstrong cracked his 28th home run, a two-run shot. Miguel Amaya added a solo drive in the ninth as Chicago lost for the third time in four.

Saturday's Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage showed some of the promise of the 2026 Arizona Wildcats and answered some of the questions, but there were still some left open when the Red team emerged victorious in four sets (20-25, 27-25, 25-18, 15-10).
Red was superior in kills (56-35), hitting percentage (.181 to .109), and blocking (10.0 to 5.0). Both teams had four aces, but they struggled overall on serve.
The initial team lineups were made to be as competitive as possible. Neither team was dominated by presumed starters or returners from last year's team. After the second set, the roster was shaken up where more of the returners and presumed starters were stacked on the Blue team, but that didn't slow down the Red squad.
The Blue team started with Carlie Cisneros and Payton Woods at outside hitter, Britt Carlson at opposite, Journey Tucker and Maya Flemister at middle blocker, Harmony Sample setting, and Brenna Ginder at libero.
Red featured Destiny Ndam-Simpson and Hayden Reeder on the left side, Kennedy Osunsanmi on the right, Mo Siapani at setter, Kristen Dear and Marina Vosloo at middle, and Brookelyn Hatton at libero.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Sophia Schubert birdied two of the final three holes for a 5-under 67 and a share of the lead with Arpichaya Yubol on Saturday in The Standard Portland Classic.
Yubol, the second-round leader, had a 68 to match Schubert at 16-under 200 with a round left on the tree-lined Columbia Edgewater Country Club layout.
The leaders are winless on the LPGA Tour, with the 30-year-old Schubert back on the big tour after finishing 10th in the Epson Tour standings last year. The American — the 2017 U.S. Women's Amateur winner — is ranked 295th in the world and is 125th in the tour's points race.
"I love the Epson Tour. It's great. I loved playing out there," Schubert said. "I think it was a great boost for my confidence. Competition is great and you get the sense of winning."
The 24-year-old Yubol, from Thailand, is ranked 112th in the world and is 28th in the tour's season standings. She finished second this year at Mayakoba and the ShopRite LPGA.

MKS Inc. (NASDAQ:MKSI) held its second-quarter earnings call on August 6, and the numbers described one of the company's strongest quarters in years. Revenue jumped 28% year-over-year to $1.25 billion while profit grew three times faster than sales. Yet on that same call, the company's own finance chief admitted growth is starting to cost something. That tension, blazing revenue growth paired with a quiet margin warning, defines where this AI-linked semiconductor supplier stands heading into the back half of the year.
Management described demand accelerating across the entire business. Semiconductor revenue climbed 28% year-over-year to $554 million, up from 13% growth just one quarter earlier, as NAND upgrade cycles and advanced logic investment pick up steam. Electronics and Packaging revenue jumped 44% to $381 million, powered by what executives called the strongest chemistry equipment demand the company has ever seen, tied directly to AI server buildouts. Specialty Industrial revenue rose 14% to $313 million on datacom and defense strength.
To keep pace, MKS is doubling capacity at its Guangzhou chemistry equipment factory, expected online in the third quarter of 2027, while its new Malaysia supercenter has been sized to handle industry-wide wafer fab equipment spending of $200 billion to $250 billion. That growth is reaching the bottom line too: non-GAAP earnings per share hit $3.30, up 86% year-over-year, as operating margin expanded 480 basis points to 25.6%. Free cash flow reached $188 million, part of which funded a $100 million voluntary debt prepayment in August 2026 that pulled leverage down a full turn to 3 times EBITDA.
Not every part of the story is as clean. CFO Ram Mayampurath acknowledged the equipment sales strategy is a "headwind temporarily to the gross margin," since equipment carries lower margins than MKS's proprietary chemistry and the company is absorbing facility ramp costs at the same time. Gross margin came in at 47.6% for the quarter, but that figure included a full percentage point of one-time tariff and duty refund benefits, meaning the underlying number was softer.
Guidance for the third quarter puts gross margin near 47%, essentially flat even as revenue climbs further, a sign the mix pressure isn't going away soon. Management also flagged that working capital and capital spending will keep rising through the rest of the year, adding another call on cash even as the company tries to keep deleveraging.

While J.K. Rowling became a household name as the author of the wildly popular "Harry Potter" books, she's spent the past several years making headlines for a very different reason. Rowling's views on the trans community have drawn widespread scrutiny, particularly since the COVID-19 era, with critics accusing her of transphobia. Several "Harry Potter" alumni have since spoken out against her comments, making their own positions on transgender rights clear. Now, another member of the franchise has done the same.
Bel Powley, who will play Petunia Dursley in the upcoming "Harry Potter" series coming to Max this winter, spoke with The Telegraph and said she was completely against the author's comments about transgender people.
"I strongly disagree with J.K. Rowling's views on gender," she said. "I think that the trans community deserve safety and dignity and respect and total acceptance. But I love Harry Potter. I grew up with the books. I am from that first generation of readers and, again, I love magic and spookiness."
Powley's comments come after the famed author made headlines after speaking about trans people. In 2019, Rowling shared a post on X in support of Maya Forstater, a researcher who brought a discrimination claim against her employers after claiming her contract wasn't renewed after she made a series of posts arguing that biological ****** is unchangeable.
"Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who'll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that ****** is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill ," Rowling posted on X.

"Straight Talk" is a regular feature in which The Sporting Tribune's John E.

He will also help translate when Clippers star Rui Hachimura and L.A. Galaxy captain Maya Yoshida are asked questions in ****** anese.
The job of interpreters in the heat of the moment is difficult without the ability to write down questions and answers and re-hear responses for proper context. That's where John comes in to help. John currently works as a ****** anese-English interpreter and covered pro baseball in ****** an for about 20 years. His experience as a sports reporter includes stints at The Orange County Register, The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, The Redlands Daily Facts, The Yomiuri Shimbun's English newspaper in Tokyo and The Epoch Times.
CHICAGO – Shohei Ohtani cracks a pair of home runs, a leadoff shot in the first and a two-run longball in the eighth inning of a 7-6 loss to the host Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Ohtani, who has 26 homers this season, talks to the ****** anese press afterward about the risk of playing while banged up.
Q: When will you start pitching?
Ohtani: I was, of course, thinking I want to do it soon, but of course, I need to go at full strength and, as I just said, having to come out of the game is the worst thing I can do. I think it's important to have confidence that if I go as hard as I did, I can move forward and stack the days together.
