Sandra Bullock has been taking a break from acting in recent years, but she's back to promote her movie on the 2026 release schedule, Practical Magic 2. And wow, am I realizing how much I missed her. Exhibit A: Her hilariously relatable rant about chin hairs.
Man, did I forget how real the actress can be, and then the Practical Magic 2 press tour came along. Bullock is just one of those celebrities that I want to be best friends with. As if I didn't already love her for calling herself "Zendaya's shoe polisher", just check out Sandra Bullock's thoughts on the topic of chin hairs:
This is a very important subject. My sister and I have an agreement. Should any of us be in a coma, the other one has to come to the hospital and always pluck the chin hair. Do you know what I mean? You're on it all the time, you're like, 'Oh, I got this thing.' But, you're still alive and awake. When that's no longer available what's going to grow without permission? Get the sister. That's why sisterhood is important.

Sydney Sweeney is facing scrutiny yet again for appearing nude in a commercial for Novig, a sports trading app and prediction market. But she's just one more celebrity getting heat for using their image to promote these platforms.
The new Novig ad features Sweeney posing nude with a variety of sports equipment covering herself. It's a play on the fact that, unlike other prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi, Novig — which launched nationwide last month — is only about betting on sports, not world events, politics, or "wars or deaths" as Sweeney says in the ad.
"Think you know sports? Prove it. Novig is just sports. So they wanted to show just sports," Sweeney says in the ad while perched atop a basketball hoop naked to seemingly show how stripped down Novig is.
Given the scrutiny Sweeney has received in the past over her ads for American Eagle jeans and soap made from her "used bathwater," it may come as no surprise that the Euphoria actor is once again raising eyebrows. In comments on her Instagram page, Sweeney was criticized for using her body to promote the prediction market.
"This is sad at this point," one person wrote. "Can't sell or be a normal girl if she doesn't use her body as a tool. **** ualizing sports like this is crazy."

BVB has never lost a competitive match against SC Paderborn: There have been two DFB-Pokal clashes, both of which saw the Black and Yellows advance to the next round. In the Bundesliga, Borussia has won two matches so far, with two others ending in draws. The most memorable encounter to date was the last Bundesliga match between the two sides at the end of May 2020. In that COVID-19-related match played behind closed doors in Paderborn, the Black and Yellows had a weak first half but stepped up their game after the break. All seven goals in the 6-1 victory came in the second half. Jadon Sancho (3), Thorgan Hazard, Achraf Hakimi, and Marcel Schmelzer—scoring his final professional goal—found the back of the net for BVB.
Best Start in Four Years With six points from two games, BVB has made its strongest start to the season in four years.
Sharp-shooting forwardSerhou Guirassy got on the scoresheet in Sinsheim with the goal that made it 1–2. The forward has been involved in three of BVB's five Bundesliga goals this season and has scored in four consecutive matches across both seasons.
Paderborn, a newly promoted team struggling to find its footing, arrives at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK with one point and still no goals scored. That said, the East Westphalians have already registered 23 shots on goal.
Milestone Within ReachBVB has achieved three wins to start the Bundesliga season only four times in its history (most recently in 2015–16). Now this milestone is once again within reach for the Black and Yellows.

The Fantasy Premier League season is entering week four and plenty of managers will be getting itching fingers, with so many chips at our disposal.
Is it time to play a Free Hit or a Wildcard?
BBC Sport FPL expert Holly Shand looks at some of the biggest dilemmas facing FPL managers heading into gameweek four.
Chelsea striker Joao Pedro (£7.7m) is the most-owned player in the game, in 72.5% of sides. Given that Chelsea have scored eight goals already this season, and face promoted Hull City at home next, it feels like the right time to be moving towards a double up on their ****** ets.
Cole Palmer (£9.6m) and Morgan Rogers (£7.6m) came on as half-time substitutes in the Carabao Cup against Leeds United on Wednesday, with Palmer scoring a double including a penalty, and Rogers chalking up three ****** ists.

Four years after plying their trade in the semi-professional fourth division of German football, newly promoted SV Elversberg welcome defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Sunday.
Elversberg, a village with a population of just 13,000 and no train station, became the smallest in German league history to host a top-flight side this season.
The minnows have not been awed by the bright lights, either. Elversberg have won two from two this season, including a 3-2 win over 2023-24 double winners Bayer Leverkusen to open their maiden top-flight campaign.
Club technical director Josef Welzmueller credited hard work rather than wizardry for their achievement.
"I know that it sounds like magic or like a fairytale," Welzmueller told AFP this month, "(but) we did it step by step, and it didn't feel like a fairytale, to be honest."

NEW YORK — As the freshly-promoted Anthony Volpe settled into a new locker inside the Yankees' clubhouse on Thursday, he said that he felt as if he had been in a "bubble" at Triple-A.
Not because he was stuck in the minors, but because he was focused on trying to improve his game. Volpe said he was so locked in that he didn't even realize Jazz Chisholm Jr. sprained his thumb on Tuesday until RailRiders manager Shelley Duncan told him.
"I wanted to get a lot out of it," Volpe, recalled on Thursday after Chisholm was placed on the 10-day injured list, said of Triple-A. "You have a game every night to try out different stuff and feel what works and feel like it's going to translate in case an opportunity like this comes. So there was just a lot of trial and error."
On Thursday, however, Volpe only found results, going 3 for 4 with a grand slam that broke open the Yankees' series-sweeping, 10-3 win over the Rockies. The seventh-inning blast earned the New York native a curtain call from a crowd that has booed him plenty over the last few years.
Volpe, batting ninth, also had an RBI single and a stolen base on Thursday. He didn't make an error while starting at second base for the first time as a big leaguer, either.

Red Sox Prospect's Season In Jeopardy After Unfortunate Injury originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Kristian Campbell's bid to return to the Boston Red Sox took an unfortunate turn with little time remaining in the minor league season. The Worcester Red Sox placed Campbell on the seven-day injured list Thursday because of a left foot contusion, according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo. Infielder Max Ferguson was promoted from Double-A Portland to fill the open roster spot.
Campbell reportedly had been dealing with a sore toe before leaving Tuesday's game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in the sixth inning. The timing makes the injury particularly frustrating. Worcester has only 10 games remaining before its season concludes Sept. 20, leaving Campbell with a limited window to return.
It also could eliminate whatever chance remained of Campbell joining Boston for its postseason push.
The 24-year-old has spent the entire 2026 campaign in Triple-A after struggling during his first major league opportunity. He batted .223 with a .664 OPS, six home runs and 21 RBIs across 67 games for the Red Sox in 2025. Campbell, once ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 7 overall prospect, produced an encouraging opening month and earned American League Rookie of the Month honors after batting .301 with four home runs. His production dropped considerably afterward, however, and Boston optioned him to Worcester in June 2025.

Two wins in the Bundesliga, one in the cup, one in the UEFA Champions League – BVB have recently celebrated four consecutive victories. In the Bundesliga table, the Black and Yellows sit in third place with the maximum return of six points. Speaking about the clash against Villarreal FC (3:2) in midweek, BVB coach Niko Kovac said: "Of course, you expend a lot physically, but also mentally. Now it's about getting the mental side back under control immediately in order to switch back to the Bundesliga." His team are the favorites against the newly promoted side: "We're playing at home and we want to win, that's our goal." But: "There are no easy games in the Bundesliga. You have to approach them in a way that means you're fully there right away. That's why I want my boys to step on the gas from the first minute and get our fans behind us again as quickly as possible so that we can play successful football."
Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini have returned to team training after their injuries and are available for the Paderborn match. "They are fit, healthy and ready to play this weekend. I can count on both of them," said Kovac. Konstantinos Karetsas will not be involved after having to be substituted in the game against Villarreal FC due to circulation problems. Read more now!
SC Paderborn have been promoted to the Bundesliga for the third time in the club's history. "A team with the ambition to stay in the league. We will certainly be facing a deep block from the opposition, who will want to hit on the counter," said Kovac. On matchday one, the team picked up a point away at FSV Mainz 05 (0:0) and then lost 1:0 at home to SC Freiburg. They currently sit 12th in the table. Despite 23 shots on goal, Paderborn have yet to score. Defensively, however, they have not allowed much either and have goalkeeper Nahuel Noll to thank, as he has conceded only one goal so far. Paderborn's Felix Götze (in the BVB youth setup until 2014) and Steffen Tigges (2019 to 2022) also wore the Black and Yellow shirt in the past.
BVB have never lost a competitive match against SC Paderborn: there have been two meetings in the DFB-Pokal, and on both occasions the Black and Yellows advanced to the next round. In the Bundesliga, Borussia have won two matches so far, while two others ended in draws. The last Bundesliga meeting at the end of May 2020 is especially memorable. In this ghost game in Paderborn played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus, the Black and Yellows produced a poor first half but improved after the break. All seven goals in the 6:1 victory came in the second half. It was the highest-scoring half of the 2019/20 season. For BVB, Jadon Sancho (3), Thorgan Hazard, Achraf Hakimi and Marcel Schmelzer, with the last goal of his professional career, were on target.Christina Reinke

Sandra Bullock is opening up about one of her biggest roles yet: parenting teenagers. As she promotes Practical Magic 2, the actress has offered a refreshingly honest look at protecting family time, ignoring one-size-fits-all parenting advice and even finding a way to include her children in her latest movie.
Bullock, 62, is mom to teenagers Louis, 16, and Laila, 13, and says their schedules now play a major role in the projects she accepts. Rather than expecting her children to fit around Hollywood, she chooses work that allows her to be available when they need her.
The actress has previously been clear about where her priorities lie. "I'm not going to sacrifice my time with my kids," Bullock said while discussing why Practical Magic 2 was able to happen. That approach can become increasingly important as children get older. Teenagers may want more independence, but they still need parents who are present and available when life gets complicated.
Bullock also isn't pretending she has all the answers when it comes to raising teenagers. In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she joked about how difficult it is to offer universal parenting advice when every child is different.
When asked what advice she would give other parents, Bullock's response was simply, "I'm sorry," before explaining that her children are both completely unique.

How Orioles' September call-up can capitalize on Luis Robert Jr.'s injury originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Baltimore Orioles are fading further away from the American League Wild Card race.
The AL East club is 4-6 in its last 10 games and needs a strong finish to overtake the Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, and Cleveland Guardians.
Losing outfielder Luis Robert Jr. to the injured list won't help. Robert appeared in just three games with the Orioles following his waiver claim from the New York Mets.
He landed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain. To take his place, the Orioles promoted outfielder Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk.

The University of Cincinnati send a strongly-worded letter to former guard **** le James, the son of former NFL star running back Edgerrin James, telling him to stop using the school's name and likeness.
"As you are no longer a member of the University of Cincinnati men's basketball program, you are no longer authorized to use, represent, or commercially promote the University of Cincinnati basketball program, including the use of the University's name, logos, uniforms, jerseys, or other team-related likenesses," a message from the school read.
James responded, "I have my own merch I made. I don't need y'all jerseys, and [expletive] Cincinnati for all I care."
The comment came just a few weeks after the Charlotte basketball program issued a roster update without the guard. Now his father, a Pro Football Hall of Fame running back, is adding unfortunate context to the situation.

An exciting African star is ready to make his move to Liverpool.
The Reds are without a sporting director at the moment after Richard Hughes left the club. But it doesn't mean they are in disarray.
Behind him, Liverpool have a lot of experienced key decision makers when it comes to recruitment. Pedro Marques has done a brilliant job identifying young talent and bringing them to Anfield.
Meanwhile, Julian Ward and David Woodfine have been essential to the club's brilliant recruitment behind the scenes for many years now.
Liverpool may look to promote from within in order to fill Hughes' vacancy or they could look to bring in an external candidate.

Why the Buffalo Bills are Sporting News' pick to win Super Bowl 61 originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Buffalo Bills haven't been to the Super Bowl in 33 seasons, when they lost their fourth consecutive appearance against the Cowboys after the 1993 season. The Bills' NFL existence without a ring, however, will end when they return and win Super Bowl 61 as the best overall team in 2026.
The Josh Allen Era, going back to his breakout second season as Buffalo's starting quarterback in 2019, has been fruitful. The Bills have been to the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons and their run of five straight AFC East ******* les ended last year to the eventual AFC champion Patriots.
Although those Bills playoff trips all have ended in losing disappointment — four times in the divisional round, twice in the AFC ******* le game — those were with coach Sean McDermott. The Bills had gone 83-33 in the regular season since '19 and didn't have enough to show for it the postseason, prompting the team to fire McDermott and promote offensive coordinator Joe Brady to replace him.
So why is there renewed confidence to get to and win the Super Bowl after the '26 season, despite having a 36-year-old rookie head coach? There are good vibes that Allen, the 2024 NFL MVP, will benefit from having a direct line to Brady, with whom he has a great relationship.

The Barclays Women's Super League 2 (WSL2) kicked off on Friday night under the lights. We witnessed some shock results, own goals, a red card and new signings shining. It was a ****** per weekend of footballing action.
There was plenty to talk about across the WSL 2 match-week one results, from Sunderland's four-goal win over Bristol City to Ipswich Town's late equaliser against Nottingham Forest. Here's how the opening round unfolded.
Two newly promoted teams faced off as Watford hosted Burnley at Vicarage Road. It was the first time the two teams had ever played each other.
Watford dominated possession but couldn't make any of their 12 shots count against a resolute Burnley defence. Burnley pressed Watford, giving them little to no time on the ball.
Burnley debutant and captain Christie Harrison-Murray came close with an audacious lob, but it drifted beyond Safia Middleton-Patel's post. Saoirse Noonan had Watford's best chance as she arched her run perfectly behind the last defender but shot into the side netting.

Jack Doherty has been accused of targeting women described as "young and vulnerable" with promises of a glamorous lifestyle before allegedly taking a substantial share of the money they generated. Former employees claim the controversial YouTuber used his massive social media following to promote women selling adult content while exercising considerable control over their businesses. The allegations have resurfaced as Doherty faces heightened scrutiny following his recent arrest on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge in Florida.
Doherty built his online following through confrontational pranks, livestreams and increasingly outrageous public stunts. As his operation expanded, luxury cars, private jets and scantily clad models became a regular part of his content.
Former employee Matthew Gonzalez, a content creator who has worked with Jake Paul and MrBeast, reportedly spent approximately six months working for Doherty in 2023. "He did whatever he had to do to get views," Gonzalez told the Daily Mail.
Gonzalez claimed Doherty's controversial behavior helped him build a large audience of young viewers. According to the former employee, that following was later used to promote models who sold adult content.
The arrangement allegedly allowed Doherty to profit from both the public videos featuring the women and their separate subscription-based accounts.

Speaking with PEOPLE, the new queen shares that she hopes to inspire other women to pursue their dreams and promote diversity on a national stage
Hutsell also shares what legacy she wants her reign to leave as she steps into the next year of responsibilities
Miss America 2027 Regan Hutsell hopes her recent win will inspire young girls across the nation.

Hutsell was crowned on Sept. 6, making her the first Miss America to wear her natural hair while being crowned. Last week, just days before she was crowned the 99th Miss America, the then-Miss Texas **** leholder told PEOPLE about a question she had been asked during preliminary competition rounds about wearing her natural hair as a pageant contestant.

"When I first started [competing], I didn't know what I was going to do with my hair," said Hutsell. "I didn't know if I was going to straighten it, I didn't know if I was going to wear it natural. I had straightened my hair a few years ago, and it didn't bounce back. And coming to this point in my life where I decided, no, I'm going to wear it curly; I'm going to wear it as is.
Wearing her natural hair while competing throughout her pageant career had helped Hutsell redefine what beauty meant for her.

Tom Holland and Zendaya had a luxury getaway to ***** an planned, but their hectic promotional schedule left them too exhausted to enjoy it. Instead, they handed the luxury trip to Tom's parents, Dominic and Nicola Holland.
The couple has dated since 2021 and quietly tied the knot. They spent months promoting the latest superhero movie and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Their packed schedules left them too exhausted to make the ***** an trip themselves. Comedian and writer Dominic Holland has now revealed how the couple turned their canceled getaway into a vacation for him and his wife.
His father narrated, as per Daily Mail, "So, you know that Tom had a few films out recently, he had The Odyssey out, then he had Spider-Man. And he's been tired; he's been working unbelievably hard. He and Zendaya have probably done twice around the globe to promote these films.
He continued, "They were tired. They'd probably done maybe 20, 10-hour flights." About three days after the London premiere, Tom told him they had a holiday planned in ***** an. Dominic said he told Tom, "That'll be nice, Tom. You'll enjoy it." But Tom admitted he was too tired to go. He told his father, "Dad, it's too far, and I'm too tired." Tom then came up with another plan and told Dominic he would send him and his mum, Nicola, instead.
Dominic joked that being Tom's father came with plenty of perks, including first-class travel and luxury hotels. However, he said the hotel and restaurant staff expected to see the Hollywood star, only to find Dominic instead. He said that even the famously polite ***** anese staff seemed disappointed when he arrived. Dominic added, 'The ***** anese are very polite and servile people, but even they went, "Hmm."' He then poked fun at his own career, saying, 'Typical of me — here's the thing… I've written 10 books and got exactly zero with me tonight, which sums up my career.'"

Pink faced backlash after reposting a statement from an advocacy group calling for an apology from Macklemore for advocating for Palestinians during his opening act for Ed Sheeran in New Jersey.
Pink reposted the message from the group StopAntisemitism on her Instagram stories. The message started with the word "Awful," suggesting that Jewish fans had purchased their tickets to see Sheeran but instead experienced what it referred to as anti-Israel propaganda. According to the group, the Seattle rapper had accused Israel of falsely committing a genocide, and concertgoers were owed an apology and a refund. Pink did not comment and has not yet given a reason for posting the message.
Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, performed for Ed Sheeran in MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5 as part of his Loop Tour. Dressed in a keffiyeh, the rapper told the crowd of more than 80,000 people that he wanted to stand in the stadium and say, "Free Palestine." He mentioned that he hoped people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank knew they had not been forgotten and that every human being deserved freedom.
Macklemore then sang "Hind's Hall," a protest song he released in 2024, as images of Gaza played on the stadium screens. Moreover, the rapper spoke directly to the Jewish audience, saying that criticizing Israel was not criticizing them.
His performance led the Israeli American Council to file a petition asking Sheeran and his management to remove the rapper from other tour dates. The petition referred to his show as a concert and not a rally for activists and politics. It also claimed that Macklemore used his global platform to promote a one-sided political agenda. The petition asked whether the speech and visuals were approved before the event.

After adding veteran safety Taylor Rapp to their practice squad on Monday, the Denver Broncos cut undrafted rookie long snapper Luke Basso to make room for Rapp, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis.
Basso (6-3, 246 pounds) signed with the Broncos as a UDFA out of Oregon this spring. He competed with Mitch Fraboni this summer and after both players failed to make the 53-man roster, Denver signed each to the practice squad. Fraboni is expected to eventually get fully promoted to the active roster, and Basso will likely be kept in mind in case the Broncos ever need a fill-in long snapper down the road.
Rapp becomes the second safety on the practice squad, joining seventh-round draft pick Miles Scott. It wouldn't be surprising to see Rapp eventually fully promoted to the active roster once he gets up to speed in Denver.

Liverpool won their first match of the season on Friday when they took on newly promoted Ipswich Town. Two early goals from Alexander Isak sealed the deal with 81 minutes to spare, and Liverpool returned to Anfield with all three points.
After the match, wing-back Milos Kerkez was asked about the win and what it means to the team.
"It's really nice," he told the official site. "I think we were in the game since the first minute. It's what we talked [about] in the first two games [that] we need to do better. I think we did that outstanding. Obviously Alex is starting to score and I hope that continues. I'm happy with the boys and overall how aggressive we went."
The goals have come in all three games so far, but how's the chemistry coming along, especially now that Mohamed Salah isn't there to partner with him on the left?
"It's your job to adapt. That's why we have training sessions," Kerkez answered. "I think with Cody [Gakpo] this year we understand each other a lot better. I think when Bradley [Barcola] came in we had good actions – I nearly gave him a pass through that was nice. But we're getting the understanding every day in training. We need to just keep going."

Brian Fleury's moment has arrived.
After more than 20 years of coaching at the college and pro level, Fleury will soon embark on his biggest job yet — offensive coordinator of an NFL franchise. And not just any franchise. He's running the offense for the Seattle Seahawks.
"I didn't think that grandly," Fleury told reporters on Sunday regarding his career goals. "As a kid, I always wanted to be a part of the National Football League, so that part of it has always been there. I've always had a lot of respect and admiration for the people that play football in this league and the people that have helped build it from the ground up, but it was really more about teaching for me early on, like taking what I knew from the knowledge standpoint and being able to help people get better."
But it can be a lonely existence, when it comes to seeking input from others. Said Fleury on that subject, "Unfortunately, the people I would seek advice from aren't interested in seeing us do well, so not many."
That's a direct byproduct of Fleury taking the Seattle job after seven seasons as an ***** istant coach on Kyle Shanahan's staff in San Francisco. Fleury arrived as a low-level defensive quality control coach before flipping to the offensive side of the ball the next year. From there, he was promoted to tight ends coach before adding in 2025 the ***** le of run game coordinator.

McDonald's India deleted a run of posts from its verified X (Twitter) account on Sunday. Written in the first person, they claimed an unpaid intern was owed ₹60,000, then promoted a meme coin.
The drama arrived at a low point for the stock. McDonald's Corporation (MCD) closed Friday at $255.69, its weakest level in a year. However, Wall Street has not followed it down.
The account said the writer interned at McDonald's India and ran several of the company's Asian social media handles. It named a manager, Amit Joshi, and said no salary had arrived since December 2025.
A later post revised that date to May, an inconsistency that fueled doubt. Another put the outstanding sum above ₹60,000, roughly $650. One said meme coin trading losses had left the writer starving daily.
