Although the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has been the hottest trend in decades on Wall Street, it's not the only catalyst lifting the broader market. Investor euphoria for high-profile stock splits has also played an important role.
A stock split allows a public company to alter its share price and outstanding share count by the same factor without affecting its market cap or underlying operating performance. Within a span of just eight days, two historic AI stock splits were announced by Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Sandisk (NASDAQ:SNDK), which are set to undertake their first-ever forward splits, respectively.

Speculation surrounding the long-term future of Ronald Araujo has intensified as his representative finally addressed the defender's mindset at Anfield. The Uruguayan international remains a central figure for the Premier League leaders despite persistent links to a continental exit.
The representative for Araujo has sought to clarify the Liverpool defender's current status following a wave of reports suggesting a potential move away from the Premier League. As one of the most consistent performers in the English top flight, Araujo has become a cornerstone of the defensive unit, leading to inevitable interest from across Europe's elite clubs looking to bolster their backlines.
However, despite the noise surrounding a possible departure, the message from his camp remains one of stability and contentment. His agent, Eduardo Crnjar, spoke about the player's current situation and how he feels about his surroundings in the North West of England. "Ronald is performing well , we're very happy with what he's offering, but it's still too early to talk about his future. He feels great, he's happy to be playing for Liverpool and helping the club and his teammates, as he's already said," Crnjar told WinWin Sports, as quoted by SPORT.
While the agent's comments provide some breathing room for the club, the broader context of the transfer market continues to loom over the situation. Several teams have been monitoring the Uruguayan's progress, aware that a defender of his calibre and age profile is a rare commodity in the modern game, especially given his proven track record in both La Liga and the Premier League.
The mention of a €55m valuation has frequently appeared in discussions regarding a potential transfer fee, a figure that many consider to be a bargain for a player of his international standing. Liverpool, however, would likely demand a significantly higher sum to even consider entering negotiations for a player who still has his best years ahead of him at the highest level of European football.

Phoebe Dynevor became internationally famous through Bridgerton, and that sudden success also brought increased attention to her personal life. The British actress has experienced everything from relatively private relationships to a highly publicized romance followed by photographers and tabloids. Over time, however, Dynevor has become increasingly careful about separating her career from her relationships. Her romantic history has included actors and figures outside the entertainment spotlight, but her relationship with Cameron Fuller ultimately became the most significant chapter. After beginning their romance in 2023, the couple became engaged and later married.
Before Bridgerton transformed her public profile, Dynevor was linked to several men, including British actor Sean Teale and executive Simon Merrill. These relationships attracted comparatively limited attention, partly because they occurred before she became internationally recognizable as Daphne Bridgerton. The success of the Netflix period drama dramatically changed the amount of interest surrounding her life away from the screen.
That became especially clear in 2021, when Dynevor dated American comedian Pete Davidson. Their relationship generated intense media attention as the pair were photographed together and followed by celebrity publications. Dynevor later reflected on the experience of suddenly having strangers interested in something she considered an ordinary part of being a young woman. The relationship ended after several months, with their demanding schedules and distance widely reported as challenges.
A quieter chapter began when Dynevor was linked to actor and producer Cameron Fuller in 2023. The pair initially kept much of their relationship away from public attention, although they gradually began appearing together at events. Fuller comes from an entertainment industry family and has worked both in front of and behind the camera.
Their relationship reached another milestone in 2024. Dynevor attended the Met Gala wearing a pale pink Victoria Beckham gown and revealed a diamond ring on her left hand, bringing widespread attention to their engagement. Fuller and Dynevor largely continued their low key approach afterward rather than turning their wedding preparations into a constant public storyline.

Kimberly Guilfoyle has lost her ambassador job, but her name still carries a six-figure price tag on the speaking circuit. The former Fox News personality is listed for appearances costing between $50,000 and $100,000 after she left as U.S. ambassador to Greece amid allegations of financial misconduct, which she denies. Whether anyone is paying those rates is another question. The listing offers a glimpse of her potential earning power, but it doesn't show that she's booked a single six-figure engagement.
Papadakis Press/MEGA
According to her Speaker Booking Agency profile, Guilfoyle is available for speaking engagements, corporate appearances, virtual events, moderated discussions, and meet-and-greets. The page displays a speaking-fee range of $50,000 to $100,000 and lists West Palm Beach, Florida, as her departure point.
That puts the advertised upper limit for one appearance at the same dollar figure as the American Express payment at the center of the controversy surrounding her diplomatic career. The two amounts concern separate matters. One is a public booking estimate, while the other involves disputed allegations about a donor's financial dealings with her.

Data centers have emerged as a national issue during this midterm election cycle, and candidates for the House and Senate have seized on it in their campaigns.
But state and local officials actually have more sway over data center construction and energy infrastructure, so the winners of lower-profile races may hold the economy's future in their hands.
Hyperscalers have been spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year, with forecasts for 2027 topping $1 trillion. JPMorgan has estimated AI-related investment was responsible for about one-fifth of GDP growth over the past year. ******* ysts at ING believe AI will account for a third of growth in 2026.
With Election Day just over a week away and early voting already in full swing in many states, expectations for big Democratic gains could weigh on the stock market, which has sold off in recent days on fears the AI boom will go bust.
If there is a further stock slump, it will be because a "blue wave" at the state and local levels will usher in lawmakers opposed to data centers, Thierry Wizman, global FX and rates strategist at Macquarie, said in a note on Monday.

Elina Svitolina has announced the end of her five-year marriage to fellow tennis star Gaël Monfils, attributing the decision to the emotional and mental impact of Russia's war in her native Ukraine.
Svitolina, 32, said in a statement posted on both players' Instagram profiles on Monday that she had endured sleepless nights, doubts and a feeling of losing herself, even with Monfils' support, before coming to the conclusion that she could not rediscover herself within their marriage.
"Gaël saw all of it," she wrote. "He never let go of my hand. We fought through this together for a long time, with everything we had. But some battles happen deep inside you, and no amount of love from someone else can win them for you.
"With time, I came to understand that I need to find my way back to myself and that I cannot do that within our marriage."
Svitolina's announcement comes a year after she ended her 2025 season early, saying she was not in the right emotional state to compete following Ukraine's Billie Jean King Cup semifinal defeat by Italy. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Svitolina has spoken repeatedly about fearing for family and friends at home while competing overseas.

Nashville SC is the first MLS club to clinch a spot in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup. The team has guaranteed a finish no worse than third in the league's overall standings, with matches still remaining on the 2026 schedule.
The math is simple: Nashville's position is now unreachable by any chasing club, even in a worst-case run to close out the season. That removes any dependency on other results and hands the front office an international fixture to plan around a year in advance.
Qualification doesn't end the ambition. Third place is the floor, not the ceiling, and Nashville still has reason to push for a higher finish before the playoffs begin. A stronger regular-season position carries weight heading into the postseason, where seeding and momentum matter.
The early clinch also gives the roster-building process a head start. Playing continental and domestic competitions at once demands depth — injuries, suspensions and fatigue all hit harder across a packed calendar — so locking in the Champions Cup spot now lets the front office plan accordingly instead of waiting on the regular season's final weeks.
The Concacaf Champions Cup is the region's top club competition, pitting MLS sides against teams from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. For Nashville, it's a chance to test the squad against different styles and raise its profile beyond the domestic league — part of a broader push by MLS clubs to build credibility on the continental stage.

The Big 12 is suddenly the conference driving college football's playoff race originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Big 12 came out of Saturday's chaos with something more valuable than a few headline wins: a stronger place in the national conversation.
The latest AP Top 25 includes five Big 12 teams, a season high for the conference. BYU leads the group at No. 2, followed by Texas Tech at No. 8, Utah at No. 10, Houston at No. 14 and Arizona at No. 25.
That is a substantial shift in the playoff picture. The Big 12 has not just one team positioned near the top; it has multiple programs ranked inside the top 15 and another holding a place in the poll.
BYU's rise to No. 2 is the most eye-catching part of the conference's week. It is the Cougars' highest ranking since their 1984 national championship season, giving the program a national profile it has not held in decades.

King Charles and Ex-Prince Andrew reportedly have a $1.3 million allowance arrangement, with the monarch allegedly providing financial support to his younger brother from his own pocket. According to a new report, the former Duke of York may now be "idling away" his days at Marsh Farms on the Sandringham estate after leaving Royal Lodge.
Speculation about Andrew's whereabouts has intensified since his departure, while recent reports have claimed that Charles is giving his brother a substantial annual allowance.
King Charles reportedly gives his brother, Ex-Prince Andrew, more than $1 million in annual allowance. The Times of London recently reported that the alleged arrangement has raised eyebrows. Since the former duke left Royal Lodge, speculation has been rife about how he has been spending his days at his new home.
For those unfamiliar with the situation, Charles stripped his brother of his royal ****** les last year. Andrew was also sent to Marsh Farms on the Sandringham estate, where he was expected to keep a low profile.
However, his arrest in February sparked another controversy for the royal family. Since then, questions have continued to surround Andrew's day-to-day life, with some wondering whether he was simply "idling away his days in misery."

Kylie Kelce is changing how she shares her daughters online, and it comes down to one major concern.
The mom of four has become much more selective about what she posts as her family has grown and her own public profile has changed. After once using Instagram to share everyday family updates, she now keeps her daughters' faces largely off social media.
Kylie Kelce first became known publicly through her relationship with Jason Kelce, whom she married in 2018. She later built her own career and following through social media and her podcast, "Not Gonna Lie," while raising their four daughters and navigating life as part of one of the NFL's most recognizable families.

Ash Gardner has spoken publicly for the first time about the alleged affair with teammate Georgia Voll that contributed to the breakdown of her marriage to Monica Wright.

Gardner said the situation became far more public than she expected and admitted she had been "naive" about the level of attention it would attract.

The controversy came to light earlier this year when Wright revealed the affair on social media. The relationship is believed to have begun during the Women's World Cup in India last year. Gardner has since apologised to Wright and said she has spent time reflecting on what happened.
Speaking to Australian outlet CODE Sports, Gardner acknowledged that her public image had taken a hit, saying, "My reputation has been tarnished with the public, but I guess something that I always try to strive to do when representing any team that I play in is be the best teammate that I can, and hopefully show what this team means to me when I'm playing for them."

The Australian vice-captain also said being a high-profile athlete means personal matters can attract intense public interest.

"Playing sport at a high level, you're open to having a platform, and sometimes with this comes interest from the public, and they want to know things about your personal life, and they invest, and then can make judgment either way of what you are or aren't doing."
Gardner admitted she was shocked when Wright publicly identified Voll, writing, "This is who my wife cheated on me with," alongside a photo of the teammate.

"I was certainly surprised, as you could imagine," Gardner said.

She added, "I certainly didn't expect the situation to take the path that it did, or to become as public as what it did. But I also understand that everyone has their own way of dealing with difficult situations."

Gardner said she now wants to focus on learning from the experience, having difficult conversations where necessary and moving forward with the Australian team.

She also said she understood Wright's perspective and tried to remain positive during what she described as a very difficult period.

Certain celebrities don't just enter a room — they redefine it with an unforgettable presence. Whether it's a mesmerizing gaze, a striking smile, or a powerful stature, these stars have built iconic careers around characteristics that make them truly one-of-a-kind.

Barbra Streisand's inimitable profile and expressive eyes have become nearly as legendary as her storied voice. Throughout her decades-spanning career, she leveraged her distinctive look, refusing pressures to change and instead turning her uniqueness into a signature of elegance and confidence. Despite being told early in her career to alter her appearance, she resisted undergoing a rhinoplasty in part because of the risk it posed to her singing voice, as reported by TODAY.

Kate Bosworth's different-colored eyes have made her stand out in every role she takes on. This rare feature gives her an instantly recognizable appearance and adds an enchanting element to her on-screen presence. She has a naturally occurring condition called heterochromia; one eye is blue while the other is partially hazel — a trait affecting less than one percent of the population, per Optometrists.org.

Barry Keoghan has built a career by choosing characters that are rarely easy to understand. The Irish actor can appear vulnerable in one film and deeply unsettling in the next, often bringing an unpredictable quality to his performances. His journey into acting was equally unconventional, beginning far from the traditional routes into the entertainment industry. A difficult childhood in Dublin shaped his early years, while an unexpected opportunity introduced him to acting. Since then, Keoghan has developed into an internationally recognized performer with roles spanning independent dramas, major blockbusters and psychological thrillers.
Born in Dublin, Keoghan experienced considerable instability while growing up. His mother struggled with drug addiction and died when he was young, and he and his brother spent several years in foster care before being raised largely by their grandmother and aunt. Despite his later success, Keoghan has spoken warmly about returning home and immediately slipping back into ordinary family life, joking that celebrity status does not excuse him from making his bed or cleaning up after himself.
His entrance into acting came almost by chance. As a teenager, Keoghan noticed a casting advertisement in a local shop window for the Irish crime film Between the Canals. He responded despite having little professional experience and eventually secured a role. Television work followed, including the Irish drama Love/Hate, helping him develop his craft and attract greater attention.
His international profile grew dramatically in 2017. Keoghan appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk as George Mills, a young civilian caught up in the evacuation of Allied soldiers from France. That same year, he delivered a very different performance opposite Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer. As the mysterious Martin, Keoghan demonstrated the unnerving screen presence that would become one of his greatest strengths.
Rather than remaining within one genre, he continued moving between dramatically different projects. He entered the Marvel universe as Druig in Eternals, appeared in The Green Knight and gained major acclaim for Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin. His performance as Dominic Kearney earned him a BAFTA and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Long before the likes of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner or Zendaya and Tom Holland were turning heads on the red carpet, there was Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen in the '90s.
The pair first met in 1983, but it would be 10 more years before they'd cross paths again and start dating. The lovebirds went on to get married in 1995, tying the knot on Martha's Vineyard on Oct. 7.
And while they always kept a low profile — a practice they continue today — when they stepped out for awards shows, galas and other high-profile events, Danson and Steenburgen made sure they did so in style.
As they celebrate their 31st wedding anniversary, see some of their most glamorous photos from the '90s below.

Prince Harry has reportedly been keeping up a demanding schedule since returning to the UK, but a new claim suggests he is growing frustrated that Meghan Markle has not been matching his pace. While the Duke of Sussex has attended charity events and delivered speeches in Britain and the United States, Meghan has maintained a considerably quieter public profile. Now, an insider alleges the difference between their workloads has become a source of tension, claiming Harry wants his wife to pursue new opportunities rather than continue "having a jolly" with her celebrity friends.

According to New Idea, Harry has barely stopped working since the Sussexes returned to Britain, dividing his time between charitable engagements, public appearances and trips abroad. Meghan, meanwhile, has reportedly been "taking a backseat" while helping Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet settle into their new routine.
"Harry wants Meghan to work," a royal insider claimed. The source alleged that Meghan's workload has become a "hot topic" between the couple that has not yet been resolved. Although Meghan continues to oversee her As Ever lifestyle brand, the report portrayed her daily schedule as considerably more relaxed than Harry's. It allegedly includes morning business calls, Pilates or yoga with friends, and collecting the children from school.

Sarah Ferguson reportedly wants King Charles and senior royals to "throw her a bone" before she considers other options. The former **** ss of York was said to be delaying a tell-all while hoping for renewed royal acceptance.
A source claimed she still believed there was "a place for her within the royal family." However, the insider warned that continued exclusion could change her position. Her reported strategy mixed loyalty, leverage, and hopes for a royal comeback.
As per a Closer Online report, Sarah reportedly reconsidered her options. The source said Earl Spencer's memoir offered "a good reminder" of the disruption a royal tell-all could create. Moreover, the insider claimed Sarah's long history with the royals gave her considerable material. They said she could potentially do "a lot more damage to the King's legacy" than Spencer. Still, a spokesperson firmly denied a current memoir project. The representative said, "She is not writing a personal memoir."
However, the insider claimed Sarah Ferguson was keeping that possibility available while hoping for another route. The source said she was "holding off on a book deal for now." According to them, Sarah remained convinced "there's still a place for her within the royal family." She reportedly hoped loyalty would persuade King Charles and others to "cut her a break." That could mean "a path back towards respectability" or "at the very least a place to live." Meanwhile, the source said she still had "the tell-all up her sleeve" if that effort failed.
Additionally, the insider claimed Sarah was sending messages toward both Charles and Prince William. She was reportedly "imploring William and Charles to throw her a bone." The source added that she did not want to "go against the family if she can help it." Still, the report said Sarah could pursue other money-making opportunities if reconciliation failed. Those possibilities reportedly included reality television and rebuilding her social media profile. For now, Buckingham Palace had made no direct statement about Sarah. Meanwhile, senior royals had reportedly continued distancing themselves from the former York household.

Meghan Markle is reportedly eyeing a major public comeback following her return to the U.K. According to a new report, the ****** ss of Sussex is considering making a solo appearance at Paris Fashion Week as her first high-profile event since relocating to Britain.
The reported plan comes after Meghan has largely stayed out of the spotlight. Instead, she has focused on sharing glimpses of her family life on social media and making a few low-key outings.
According to the Daily Express, Meghan Markle is seriously weighing in on an appearance at Paris Fashion Week. A source told the outlet that the ****** ss wants the event to mark her official public return after moving back to Britain.
"She's keen to go alone and hold her head high," the source claimed. "Meghan deliberately hasn't attended an event in the U.K. yet; she's been holding out for the perfect time, and Paris offers that."
The report also claimed Meghan remains cautious about returning to the fashion event following last year's appearance controversy. Although organizers invited her through official channels, the insider said she is still evaluating whether the timing is right.

LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Jeffrey Archer, the bestselling British novelist and former politician who was jailed for lying in a high-profile libel case, died aged 86 on Monday, just one day before his final novel "Adam and Eve" was due to be published.
The confidant of ‌former prime minister Margaret Thatcher lived a life that swung from the heights of luxury and fame to the lows of a two-year stint in ‌prison for perjury over paying a woman for **** .
He sold more than 300 million copies of his books, spent a total of five and a half years on the New York Times bestseller lists and found fans around the world with his pacy thrillers, among them the 1976 debut "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less" and 1979's mass-selling "Kane & Abel".
Publisher HarperCollins said Archer, who had met and signed books for fans in London's Leicester Square Theatre on Sunday and had been scheduled to speak at events this week, died "suddenly and peacefully at home ... between writing sessions".

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admits "something's clearly not working" with the artificial intelligence money that has flooded the midterm elections — and he doesn't expect President Donald Trump's rebrand of the technology to improve his industry's image with the American public, either.
"I get why AI has a really negative perception right now," Altman told Brendan Bordelon in an exclusive interview marking the launch of Decoded by POLITICO. "I don't think spending money on politics is what's going to make people feel better about it. The industry needs to figure out a way to address what the actual concerns are, and right now, a lot of people in the industry are being quite tone deaf."
In the wide-ranging conversation, Altman offered a window into how OpenAI is confronting new political pressures and intensified competition with Anthropic, its corporate archrival run by former employee Dario Amodei.
Altman says OpenAI is more tolerant than Anthropic of less-than-catastrophic harms from AI, drawing out what he sees as a fundamental split in worldview between the two leading labs even as they converge on tougher rules in the wake of high-profile autonomous hacking incidents.
"We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency," said Altman, who characterized those harms as linked to "the lighter touch regulatory stance that we advocate for."

After a series of high-profile relationships that imploded, Jim Carrey is doing things differently with new wife Min Ah, a source tells In Touch.
"He's kept the relationship almost totally out of the spotlight and that's something he intends to continue doing because he regrets being so public in the past," shares the source. "He thinks all the noise did a lot of damage to his past relationships."
Following his first marriage to former Comedy Store ***** tail waitress Melissa Womer — with whom he shares daughter Jane Carrey, 39 — the actor was wed to his Dumb and Dumber costar Lauren Holly. Their union lasted just nine months before she filed for divorce. Carrey later dated his Me, Myself & Irene leading lady, Renée Zellweger, as well as Singled Out alum Jenny McCarthy.
"Privacy is very important to Jim now," the source says. "And Min is on the same page."
Initially spotted together in 2022, the now-newlyweds finally acknowledged their romance during the César Awards in Paris this February, with the comedian, 64, referring to Ah, 32, as his "sublime companion," per People.

LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Jeffrey Archer, the best-selling British novelist and former ‌politician who was jailed for lying ‌in a high-profile libel case, has died aged 86, his publisher HarperCollins said on Monday.
Archer sold over 300 million copies worldwide and was known for pacy thrillers like his ‌1976 debut "Not ⁠a Penny More, Not a Penny Less" and "Kane & Abel", with his ⁠final novel Adam and Eve due to be published this month.
He was also a prominent Conservative politician, who briefly served as a ‌lawmaker before becoming a senior party official under prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the mid-1980s.
But Archer suffered a very public downfall when he was convicted of ‌perjury and perverting the course of justice in 2001, being sentenced to four years' imprisonment.
Kate Elton, ‌HarperCollins' UK CEO and Archer's editor, said in a statement: "We're all devastated to have lost a writer who has brought ‌joy to generations of readers - and a true friend."
