After the false start and the worst start, Michael Carrick ******* ounced it a fresh start. Manchester United have their fewest wins in their opening seven league games of a campaign for 40 years – just the one – and have not tasted victory in six matches in all competitions. Their manager nevertheless emerged from consecutive away games that brought defeat to Atletico Madrid and a draw at Leeds appearing more upbeat about their prospects.
"I understand the situation doesn't look too good if you look at it from a certain way, but I got no doubts that we can go on a good run," he said. That certain way could involve referencing results or the league table; seven games in, the club who finished third last season are already nine points adrift of the top three.
Carrick believes he has detected a good feeling around his squad, whether or not it stems from Lisandro Martinez's public criticism of director of football Jason Wilcox. "I felt like [it was] a bit of a fresh start today and where we're at, and accepting it and doing something about it," he said. Perhaps not doing enough about it, given the result was exactly the same – a 1-1 draw – as in their previous two league games.

If there is improvement in Carrick's camp, it has come from a low bar. And, in fairness, the performances in the intimidating atmospheres of the Metropolitano and Elland Road are not among United's four worst this season – Hull, Manchester City, Brighton, Tottenham – but, again, that is scarcely a compliment.

Britney Spears shared pictures and video from a rare public outing with her two adult sons, Sean Preston Federline, 21, and Jayden James Federline, 20, on her Instagram on Wednesday (Oct. 7). In a sweet pic, Spears can be seen posing between the two young men, who tower over her, in front of the sign at Dolly Parton's beloved Dollywood resort in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
"Wow wow!!! I didn't know this place existed, so incredibly cool and exciting," Spears, 44, wrote of the 165-acre amusement park and resort the late country icon took over and rebranded in 1986. The singer was pictured wearing a short blue skirt, flip-flops, a red-and-white striped shirt and a white surgical mask, while the boys rocked baggy jeans and white T-shirts, with Britney lamenting that it was "extremely hot and my skirt is too big for me."

It's clear that the Princess of Wales has entered her autumn style era. Now that October is upon us, the 44-year-old has embraced the seasonal change with a plethora of darker-toned items.
Last week, Kate hosted a secret tea party for Three Peaks Challenge participants and their families at Windsor Castle. The royal looked elegant in a chocolate brown-coloured belted dress by the famously English heritage label Burberry. The structured fit-and-flare silhouette offered a clean, monochromatic look.
A new item in Kate's wardrobe, the £1,760 tailored dress is cut in a fit-and-flare silhouette that's cinched in with a striking, gold twist-lock belt. It also has slip pockets, which Kate was spotted appearing to use at certain moments. The dress appears to be bespoke as the sleeves are three-quarter length, whereas the frock on the shelves featured capped sleeves.

A year earlier, Kate wore the very same dress, but in black. During the German State visit in 2025, the mother of three was pictured viewing exhibits from the Royal Collection relating to Germany in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, alongside her husband, Prince William.

Umberto Pizzi, who has died aged 88, was a paparazzo who documented Italy's Dolce Vita era, specialising in candid shots of the actors, television personalities, politicians and ***** orted hangers-on who made up the emerging class of nouveau riche.
Pizzi himself spurned the term "paparazzi", which he thought conveyed an attitude of hostility towards photojournalists. He preferred to think of his role as a kind of modern-day Petronius, documenting the spectacles and excesses of the era through its best-known personalities. He photographed stars of Italian cinema such as Marcello Mastroianni and Vittorio Gassman, as well as Hollywood golden couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
In the 1970s and 1980s he ventured into the realms of Italian culture, politics and the global aristocracy. He photographed John Paul Getty III during his time in Rome and trod on bullets on his way to the scene where the former prime minister Aldo Moro was kidnapped in 1978. His archive, comprising around two million images, spanned two republics and more than 60 years of history, from economic boom to the season of protest, through to the modern era of mass communication.
The film-maker Tinto Brass pictured by Pizzi with the actress Sandra Milo, 1987 - UMBERTO PIZZI DA/Fotogramma
From the early 2000s he worked for the web publication Dagospia, which became notorious for its section headed "Cafonal": roughly, the uncouth, ostentatious rich. One Pizzi image that encapsulated the new era showed a table of important people stuffing themselves with food. Another was of Northern League and Forza Italia members dousing a reclining woman with champagne during a birthday party.

Data center developer Crusoe said Thursday it raised $3.9 billion in a Series F round that pushes its valuation to $30.9 billion. The massive round was co-led by Atreides Management, Mubadala Capital, and Valor Equity Partners. Founders Fund, GIC, Nvidia, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Radical Ventures, and TPG also participated, according to Crusoe.
Crusoe also announced three new board members, including Cloudflare CFO Thomas Seifert; Bill Stein, partner and CIO at Primary Digital Infrastructure; and Redwood Materials founder and CEO JB Straubel, who also sits on Tesla's board. Straubel already has ties to Crusoe; he personally invested in the company in 2021, and Crusoe later became the first customer of Redwood's energy storage business.
The eight-year-old company's fresh capital infusion will help finance existing data center projects, including a large site in Abilene, Texas, used by OpenAI, as well as smaller, modular AI factories that can be transported by truck and connected to large power sources almost anywhere.
By manufacturing these modular data centers, called Spark, at its own facilities, Crusoe can deploy compute capacity quickly and without the need for large construction workforces. The smaller centers could also help Crusoe sidestep, at least in part, another major obstacle facing data center developers: backlash from local communities protesting massive complexes near their neighborhoods.
Crusoe co-founder and CEO Chase Lochmiller, who is pictured above, said in a statement he believes AI will usher in an era of abundance, but to get there will mean "controlling the infrastructure from electrons to tokens, and we're grateful to have investors who share that conviction."

Tom Holland and Zendaya are reportedly planning to install a climate-controlled room in one of their several properties to preserve her more than $269,000 wedding gown.
Holland, 30, and Zendaya, 30, said "I do" during an intimate wedding celebration at the Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey, just outside London, on Aug. 4.
The actress marked the occasion by donning a stunning lace Schiaparelli gown featuring long sleeves and a high neckline.
Now, Zendaya is reportedly taking extraordinary measures to ensure the sentimental garment—which has never been pictured or seen publicly—is carefully preserved for years to come.
Sources told The Sun that the actress wants to keep the gown close by rather than entrusting it to an outside storage company. The dress reportedly needs to be stored at a temperature between 59 and 64 degrees.

The pair have both been sidelined in recent weeks, missing the victories over Aberdeen and St Mirren, while Hogh also sat out the earlier win against Falkirk.
There had been concerns among the Celtic support that both players could be facing more significant spells on the sidelines, but those fears have eased after Tierney and Hogh were pictured back in training on Tuesday.
It remains to be seen whether either will be ready to start at McDiarmid Park, although Martin O'Neill will hope they can play some part against the Perth side.
Alistair Johnston was also back out on the grass as he continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury, although the Canadian is expected to require more time before making his competitive return.
In Hogh's absence, summer signing Camilo Duran has operated through the middle and continued his impressive start to life at Celtic.

It's been wonderful to see Pamela Anderson lighting up the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival 2026, and the beautiful 59-year-old has donned some eye-catching, high-end outfits.
On Monday, the blonde beauty was pictured arriving at the Hotel Excelsior Venice Lido Pier during the famed film festival. Looking like a picture of sartorial elegance, the mother of two wore a black tailored suit, a chic pie-crust blouse, and finished it off with a pair of Hollywood-esque big shades.

Charlie Woods faces a steep climb after Saturday's round at the Junior Players Championship. The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods shot a 1-over 73 on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. He now sits at even par after 36 holes. This score leaves him four strokes behind the leaders. Sam Carraher, Dawson Lew, and Giuseppe Puebla all share the top spot at 4-under. Woods started the day tied for eighth following a 1-under 71 on Friday. His second round saw him mix four birdies with five bogeys. The pressure at Sawgrass is real, even for the son of a legend. He will begin Sunday tied for 14th place. The final round starts at 8:10am. It is a tough test for a senior at The Benjamin School.
According to GolfMagic, Woods' performance on Saturday was a mix of highs and lows. He birdied the 2nd, 3rd, 10th, and 18th holes. However, bogeys on the 4th, 6th, 11th, 12th, and 16th holes cost him ground. The leaderboard shows a tight race at the top. Golfweek reported that this event celebrates its 20th anniversary this Labor Day weekend. The field includes seventy-eight of the globe's finest young golfers. They represent 16 countries and 19 states. Thirteen players from the 2026 Junior Presidents Cup squads are taking part. For many, this is a major step up. Stephen Hamblin, the AJGA's executive director since 1984, has seen countless players make this jump. The organization has grown from a broken-down van and 13 tournaments a year to 145 events nationwide.
Off the course, big news broke. Golf Monthly reported that Woods officially joined the TaylorMade roster with a new name, image, and likeness deal. This was not a surprise to those watching his bag closely. He has used the brand's gear for months. A social media post by TaylorMade featured the caption: "Just getting started" Welcome to the squad, Charlie Woods. #TeamTaylorMade .David Ables, CEO of TaylorMade Golf, stated, "We build our roster of athletes around those who are driven by the game of golf and have an unmatched desire to compete at the highest level" Woods will use a near full set of TaylorMade clubs. This includes the Qi4D driver and fairway woods. His irons are the P7CB and P7TW models. He also uses MG5 wedges and TP5x golf ***** .
Being four shots back at the halfway point is not impossible, but it is difficult. The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass punishes mistakes. Woods made five bogeys in his second round. That is a high number for a player of his caliber. GolfMagic noted that he sits at even par. The leaders are at 4-under. To win, he needs to play much better on Sunday. His mother, Elin Nordegren, has been there to cheer him on. She was pictured taking photos during the opening round. The pressure is different here. He is not just playing a junior event. He is playing on the same course where his father won The Players Championship. Tiger Woods has a significant history at TPC Sawgrass. Charlie is trying to carve his own path while wearing the family name. The new TaylorMade deal adds another
According to GolfMagic, Woods' performance on Saturday was a mix of highs and lows. He birdied the 2nd, 3rd, 10th, and 18th holes. However, bogeys on the 4th, 6th, 11th, 12th, and 16th holes cost him ground. The leaderboard shows a tight race at the top. Golfweek reported that this event celebrates its 20th anniversary this Labor Day weekend. The field includes seventy-eight of the globe's finest young golfers. They represent 16 countries and 19 states. Thirteen players from the 2026 Junior Presidents Cup squads are taking part. For many, this is a major step up. Stephen Hamblin, the AJGA's executive director since 1984, has seen countless players make this jump. The organization has grown from a broken-down van and 13 tournaments a year to 145 events nationwide.
Off the course, big news broke. Golf Monthly reported that Woods officially joined the TaylorMade roster with a new name, image, and likeness deal. This was not a surprise to those watching his bag closely. He has used the brand's gear for months. A social media post by TaylorMade featured the caption: "Just getting started" Welcome to the squad, Charlie Woods. #TeamTaylorMade .David Ables, CEO of TaylorMade Golf, stated, "We build our roster of athletes around those who are driven by the game of golf and have an unmatched desire to compete at the highest level" Woods will use a near full set of TaylorMade clubs. This includes the Qi4D driver and fairway woods. His irons are the P7CB and P7TW models. He also uses MG5 wedges and TP5x golf ***** .
Being four shots back at the halfway point is not impossible, but it is difficult. The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass punishes mistakes. Woods made five bogeys in his second round. That is a high number for a player of his caliber. GolfMagic noted that he sits at even par. The leaders are at 4-under. To win, he needs to play much better on Sunday. His mother, Elin Nordegren, has been there to cheer him on. She was pictured taking photos during the opening round. The pressure is different here. He is not just playing a junior event. He is playing on the same course where his father won The Players Championship. Tiger Woods has a significant history at TPC Sawgrass. Charlie is trying to carve his own path while wearing the family name. The new TaylorMade deal adds another

New Zealand captain Ardie Savea has been ruled out of the fourth Test against South Africa with a shoulder injury.
Savea was forced off just half-an-hour in to the third Test in Johannesburg after coming up in serious pain following a clearout from Jasper Wiese.
The No 8 struggled to hold his right arm up and was pictured in a sling after a 29-24 defeat.
Savea had scored twice in an excellent start to the game, and his absence is a major blow to Dave Rennie as the All Blacks seek to draw the series with victory in Baltimore next Saturday.
"Yes, [it's a] shoulder injury," Rennie confirmed. "Not sure if it's dislocated, but he certainly won't be travelling to the States.

Princess Charlene was on royal mum duties on Saturday as she joined her husband, Prince Albert, and their twin children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, on a visit to Les Baux-de-Provence in France.
Although she was on official business, Charlene showed herself to be a very doting mum, as she was pictured with her arm around her daughter. Other images saw the mum-of-two linking arms with her son, while also tousling his hair.
The village itself has long been ****** ociated with the Monaco royal family, and on Saturday, Jacques, who is the heir to the throne, was presented with keys to the city, following in the footsteps of his father, who went through the same ceremony back in 1982.
Jacques, who holds the ****** le of the Marquis of Baux, was greeted alongside his family by the mayor of the area, Anne Poniatowski, and several royal fans. They toured several key areas in the town, including Prince Rainier III Square and the Church of St. Vincent.

The summer holidays have drawn to a close for another year, which means school is back in session for children across the nation – including the youngest members of the royal family.
It's now about that time when the post-holiday blues start to kick in as kids – and parents – delve back into routine school drop offs, lunch prep and homework after six weeks of unwinding.
Ever since he was a child, King Charles has spent his summer break relaxing in the Scottish Highlands at the royal family's residence in Balmoral. It's been a spot beloved by the monarch for decades, and a five-year-old Charles once looked so forlorn to be leaving Scotland in an old archival photo taken 72 years ago.

The young royal was pictured on board the Royal Train on 31 May 1954 ahead of his return to London after the family's holiday at Balmoral Castle came to an end. Charles looked very smart in a shirt and tie with his hair combed to the side as he stared out of the window without a hint of a smile.

Steve Irwin died on 4 September 2006, aged 44, after a stingray fatally pierced his chest while he was underwater filming a documentary at the Great Barrier Reef.
Bindi, who was eight when her father died, called Steve a "superhero" in an online post on Friday, saying she has "watched the world mourn my dad with our family" for the past two decades.
"I always thought that my dad's legacy is wildlife conservation; it turns out, his legacy is love. For our planet and for each other," Bindi, 28, wrote on Instagram.

The **** ss of Sussex, 45, was pictured tending to a sun-drenched vegetable garden in a photograph shared by her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Dressed for the warm California weather in a figure-skimming white T-shirt maxi dress, Meghan shielded herself from the sunshine beneath an oversized straw hat as she reached towards the plants.
A wire basket filled with freshly picked produce could be seen resting on the stone wall beside her, adding to the rustic, homegrown feel of the photograph.

Tennis fans, eagerly awaited Ben Shelton's exclusive US Open On kit. It is the first time Shelton was getting his own clothing from On.
We spent our free time scrutinizing Nike and Yonex's US Open kit offerings until Shelton's was released.
However, that pivotal moment was met with a bit of disappointment because Shelton's kit, though not an exact replica, looks very similar to Flavio Cobolli's. There is not a significant pattern, color, or design change.

One person on social media said Shelton's kit has been pictured on On's website "for ages." We have not confirmed if that's true but if so, that's even worse.

Everything was on the line at the draw in Monaco. The four home and four away opponents for the 2026–27 season have now been determined. UEFA will announce the exact dates of the matches by Saturday. Today, Thursday, former star strikers Thierry Henry and David Villa began by drawing the opponents for all 36 participating teams.
BVB already faced three of its eight opponents last year: At SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, BVB will once again take on Inter Milan and Villarreal CF—and these two matchups cannot be repeated next year—and will also face FK Bodø/Glimt from Norway again, though this time on the road. The other home opponents are Real Betis from Seville and AEK Athens—both of which will be first-time opponents! Away from home, Borussia will face Bodø/Glimt, as well as ******* nal, Aston Villa, and Sabah FK in Azerbaijan.
Inter MilanThe 21-time Italian champions have reached the Champions League final twice in the past four seasons. Inter has won the trophy three times (most recently in 2010), but suffered a surprising defeat last season in the Round of 16 against Bodø/Glimt—a team that shocked more than just BVB. BVB lost the head-to-head match against Inter 0–2. There will be a reunion with Manuel Akanji and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Real BetisReal Betis Balompié, known as Real Betis for short or simply Betis—that's the name of Spain's 1935 champion and three-time cup winner. Their greatest international achievement was reaching the final of the 2025 UEFA Conference League. Former Borussia player Marc Bartra (pictured) played a key role in helping the team finish fifth in La Liga last season, thereby qualifying for the Champions League for the second time in the club's history. BVB has not yet faced Betis in a head-to-head match.
FC VillarrealThe second Spanish opponent—which finished third last year—comes from Pot 3, even though it made a splash internationally by winning the 2021 UEFA Europa League and reaching the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League the following year. In last season's league campaign, however, "the Yellow Submarine" finished in 35th place with just one point earned. At SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, BVB won 4-0.
