Anna Faris has long been recognized for her comedic talent and relatable screen presence. However, the Scary Movie star has revealed that she was "pretty depressed" during a stretch of her career. It was a time that had her wondering if she should walk away from acting for good, and she almost retired.
Seven seasons of Mom later, Anna Faris felt like her career was getting pushed to the sidelines.
Speaking on the August 20 episode of the Dear Chelsea podcast, Faris shared, "I didn't know what my ambition [was]. I didn't know where I stood, what opportunity there was."
Faris admitted that in her late 40s she felt "disturbed by my lack of ambition." With perspective, the comedian has acknowledged that she was clearly going through mental health struggles.
"I was, in hindsight, I think pretty depressed, like, premenopausal depression without recognizing it," reflected the 49-year-old. "I was just having a distant relationship with this city and my career and wondering if I had enough money to retire."

A blue plaque is set to be installed in Halifax in honour of former England striker Frank Worthington.
Worthington, who won eight England caps and scored twice for the national team, began his career at Huddersfield Town before playing for Leicester City, Bolton, Birmingham City, Southampton and Leeds United in a career spanning 25 years.
An initial fundraising target to purchase the plaque was hit within days of the campaign being launched by Halifax Civic Trust.
John Peters, volunteer and committee member for the trust, said the plaque would provide the community with "a way to remember" Worthington - who is believed to be Halifax's only ever capped England player.
"A lot of the blue plaque recognition has been for sort of industrialists and politicians - my thought was to see if we could make some of the nominees a little more relatable," Peters said.

Jared McCain reveals the gap between the average NBA player and the normal person originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Seen as one of the most relatable players in the NBA, Jared McCain is quite a good athlete. He might have fun on his TikTok account, but he works hard to become the best version of himself. With both the Philadelphia 76ers and now the Oklahoma City Thunder, McCain has had experience playing alongside some big stars.
During his 76ers days, he had Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Joel Embiid. Now that he is on OKC, he is playing alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. McCain has no problems admitting some players are better than him, but he acknowledges his own ability as well.
Throughout the NBA's nearly 80-year history, there have only been around 5,000 players. That is a smaller number than most people realize, and that is because of the level required even to reach the league. Some talented players have not even reached that level, but they stood out in other leagues around the world.
Standing out in the NBA can be quite challenging because of how different the systems are from team to team. It is up to the player to showcase their skill set and how they fit by playing well in practice and convincing the coaching staff they belong.

The World Cup: North American Edition continued apace on Saturday as the Round of 16 kicked off with two match-ups: Canada vs Morocco and Paraguay vs France. There’s a Liverpool angle here, I promise, but before we get there, let’s set up the stakes and results, with the winners of each match poised to meet each other in the quarterfinals.
In the opening match of the day, Morocco set up in a decidedly more cagey manner, hoping to draw Canada out and hit them on the counter. Given that, most of the match looked like it belonged to Canada, who did not hesitate to try and bring the attack to their opponent. Unfortunately, the gulf in quality between the two sides – remember that Morocco made it to the last World Cup’s semifinals – eventually took over as the Atlas Lions finished all three of the chances they created, leaving Canada to rue their missed opportunities. A thing Liverpool fans will likely find relatable to our friends in the Land of Maple Syrup.
In France vs. Paraguay, it was a more typical expression of the same dynamic with the underdogs from South America eager to play spoiler and, ultimately, the villain in an attempt to unsettle one of the tournament’s favorites. To their credit, Les Bleus played with the kind of composure and freedom that one might ***** ociate with a club that clearly understands they are among the, if not the outright, best team in the world. They were not drawn into the theatrics nor unsettled by what increasingly felt was a lopsidedly officiated match. Instead, they dug in and worked to force the initiative, finding the result they wanted in the end.
For Liverpool fans looking for any connection, one could be found in that France match as Bradley Barcola again started on the left for Didier Deschamps’ squad. For his part, he looked quite capable as he displayed pace, technique, and strength on the wings. I am, though, quite partial to Barcola’s teammate and countryman, Desire Doue, who ended up coming in for him with a little less than 30 min left in the match. Doue immediately found himself involved in the action by beating his marker with tricky footwork. A mere few minutes later, Doue did it again and drew the foul that led to the penalty kick.
I have no idea about the pecking order at Paris St. Germaine, but based on the very limited footage I’ve seen of Doue in comparison to Barcola, what I saw today is essentially the gap: Barcola looks reliable and capable but Doue contains a hint of magic. And, for me, that last bit is a bit tantalizing.

It's become one of the enduring scenes of the U.S. team during this World Cup: jubilant U.S. players joining tens of thousands of fans in singing John Denver's “Take Me Home, Country Roads” at the end of their matches.
Even coach Mauricio Pochettino, who was born in Argentina and lives in Spain, got in on the act after Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina, belting out the words to Denver's anthem as he hugged his players and staff members.
The John Denver estate told The ******* ociated Press that it is “thrilled” by the song’s latest revival at the World Cup, saying “Country Roads” has endured because its message transcends geography, and that its “simple, clear, and relatable” lyrics make it perfect for a sing-along.
“Everyone knows what ‘Take me home to the place I belong’ is about,” the estate said Thursday. “It’s not limited to West Virginia.”
Here’s how a song inspired by a Maryland drive became a World Cup anthem.

The "everyday millionaire" has a problem. It's not money. It's math.
In 2025, UBS coined the term EMILLI — Everyday MILLIonaire — to describe the 401(k) maximizer, the dual-income homeowner, the diligent index-fund investor who looked up one day and realized the number on their brokerage statement had crossed seven figures. It became shorthand for a particular brand of accessible aspiration: you didn't have to be a tech founder or a hedge fund manager. You just had to show up, stay invested, and wait.
The 2026 UBS Global Wealth Report, released Tuesday, confirms that the everyday millionaire class is expanding faster than at any point in 17 years. The U.S. added 441,078 new millionaires in 2025 alone — more than 1,200 per day, accounting for nearly half the global total. The millionaire population grew in all 56 of UBS' tracked markets simultaneously for the first time on record.
And yet. The group immediately above the EMILLI tier has been compounding wealth at a rate that makes the everyday millionaire's gains look, by comparison, like standing still.
UBS has a name for the cohort sitting just above the EMILLI tier: the "elder siblings." These are households with between $5 million and $100 million in net wealth—above the everyday millionaire threshold, below the billionaire stratosphere. Too rich to be relatable, not rich enough to be scandalous.

In Sam Raimi’s 2009 horror flick Drag Me To ****** , a woman makes a mistake at work and is eventually condemned to eternal ****** ation for it. This is highly relatable for the Nationals’ bullpen arms, wh0 made a mistake at work and were sentenced to ****** for it. Well, surrendering a pinch-hit go-ahead homer to a team down to their final strike isn’t quite ****** , but it’s close enough; I’m fairly certain Dante mentioned it somewhere in his Inferno, somewhere between the guy who’s eternally having his head bitten and the guys who are eternally trees.
But before the drama of a last-ditch comeback repeated, a less appealing narrative recurred: Aaron Nola’s struggles with the long ball continued, as Luis García Jr. took a sinker that hung up in the middle of the zone to center for a 1-0 Washington lead in the first. An inning later, Jorbit Vivas took a curveball that did the same and did the same. 2-0, Nationals. Meanwhile, the Phillies struggled through three against opener Carson Palmquist, putting only one baserunner aboard in the form of Brandon Marsh, who promptly got picked off.
Marsh was also the Phillies’ second baserunner, singling up the middle to lead off the fourth. Afterwards, Palmquist’s opening job was over, and Miles Mikolas took his turn. He quickly found trouble. Alec Bohm reached safely on a grounder when Nasim Nuñez booted it, and Bryson Stott hit a fly ball that found its way over James Wood’s head in right for a double. The Phillies had their first run of the night. They had their second on a sacrifice fly from J.T. Realmuto, and their third on a single from Gabriel Rincones Jr. Nola kept the good vibes going with a three up, three down fourth. Only a potential injury to Bohm, who came up limping while running the bases on the fourth, still needled the Phillies, and given that he remained in the game, this turned out not to be a big issue. The Nationals seemed like they might have a big issue though: the pitching of Mikolas, who gave up singles to Trea Turner and Marsh in the fifth. He fought his way through it without further damage, but the tilt of the game still seemed to favor the Phillies.
Kyle Backhus took over in the sixth, with Nola’s final line standing at 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K. Backhus faced the minimum of three, getting two out and allowing a baserunner, and was pulled for Jonathan Bowlan as Don Mattingly played the matchup game, pitting righty against righty. It did not go as planned. The first pitch to Curtis Mead went flying into deep left, towards the foul pole, remaining fair and ending the Phillies’ lead.
José Alvarado took the seventh. He got the first two batters out, but faced trouble with José Tena, who hit a shallow fly to left that Marsh dove for and missed. The result was a triple. CJ Abrams was up next; the duel between him and Alvarado saw a quartet of fouled off 3-2 pitches , and finally a walk. But Alvarado got the next batter out to keep the deficit at one.

José Alvarado took the seventh. He got the first two batters out, but faced trouble with José Tena, who hit a shallow fly to left that Marsh dove for and missed. The result was a triple. CJ Abrams was up next; the duel between him and Alvarado saw a quartet of fouled off 3-2 pitches , and finally a walk. But Alvarado got the next batter out to keep the deficit at one.

AJ Dybantsa on what he brings to the table that other players don’t bring: “I’m just super versatile. 6’9 doing it all. Could play one through five. I did it this year. Small lineups. I was playing four and five. Bigger lineups. I’m bringing the ball up, throwing lobs. I’m an exciting player, so I fill seats. Want the fans, you know, to come see me play. And I’m just super relatable though. Like people just relate to me.” (Via stephenasmith )
