Jennifer Garner opened up about how a career rejection led her to Alias. The 54-year-old, best known for playing Sydney Bristow in the action-thriller series, once auditioned for The West Wing but was turned down.
Garner appeared on Aspire With Emma Grede on August 25. During the interview, she opened up about nearly landing a role on The West Wing but lost the part. She said, "I always think back to this audition for The West Wing. It was for a new role, and God, I wanted it so badly. And I got down, and I tested for it. When I didn't get it, I had to go to the desert. It was my first time in Palm Springs by myself, and I just sat there for a couple of days."
Garner also reflected on her career after separating from Ben Affleck in 2015. She described, "I panicked when I was first out of my marriage and realized I had taken such a step back in my work, and suddenly I realized, like, 'I don't know how long I'll be able to work.'" She admitted that she became concerned about her financial future after stepping back from acting. She said she needed to find work that allowed her to support her children.
Although losing the role was difficult, Garner's next big break came just two weeks later. She was offered Alias. J.J. Abrams created the ABC series, which ran for five seasons between 2001 and 2006. The actress starred alongside Ron Rifkin, Victor Garber, Michael Vartan, Bradley Cooper, Merrin Dungey, Carl Lumbly, Kevin Weisman, and Greg Grunberg. Her performance earned Garner a 2002 Golden Globe win and four Emmy nominations. As Alias grew in popularity, Garner landed major film roles. She appeared in Daredevil and Elektra before starring in 13 Going on 30.

Gigi Hadid is opening up about the brutal realities she faced breaking into the modeling industry, revealing she was body-shamed and told she needed to lose weight if she wanted to succeed.
The 31-year-old, who had worked as a child model before pursuing it full-time as a teenager, recalled the criticism she faced after signing with IMG Models at 17 in a new interview with Vogue France.
Hadid said she was repeatedly made to feel that her body didn't fit the industry's expectations, recalling comments including, "With that body, you'll never walk the runway for Victoria's Secret" and "You'd have to lose so many kilos."

Despite being judged on her weight at such a young age, Hadid said she refused to let the criticism convince her she had nothing to offer.

In what might be the last publication of a revealing look at the credit conditions in the trucking industry, the quarterly earnings of bank BMO released Tuesday showed the stronger freight market impacting its numbers.
BMO, the former Bank of Montreal and one of the largest lenders to the trucking industry, has announced its plans to sell its transportation unit to private equity firm Stonepeak in May. The deal is expected to close before the end of the year; the next earnings release for BMO is scheduled for December 2.
While net writeoffs in the third quarter ended July 31 were barely changed from the prior quarter, declining to Ca $24 million (US $17.32 million) from $25 million, that number is more of a backward-looking figure.
Provisions and allowances, as well as the size of the company's gross loans considered impaired, which are a bank's expectations of future troubled loans and estimates of the size of its issued credit that is under pressure, showed significant declines in the third quarter.
Provisions for credit losses fell to $15 million from $41 million in the second quarter. A year ago that figure was $50 million. The $15 million figure is the lowest since the first quarter of 2023.

The Department of Homeland Security is calling out Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu's "unhinged" effort to dissuade business owners from leasing to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city, equating it to "hunting down" private property owners.
After Boston banned ICE vehicles from using city-owned parking lots to stage operations, ICE issued a notice seeking to rent hundreds of parking ******* es in the city for five years. In response, Wu, an outspoken opponent of President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda, issued an open letter to parking garage and lot owners throughout Boston in which she revealed the city had submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request "for any local responses to ICE."
DHS fired back in an X post, writing that "these actions by sanctuary Mayor Michelle Wu are unhinged."
"She knows she has NO authority to block us from using private property. So, she's hunting down private property owners and threatening them for working with ICE — because she'd rather intimidate law-abiding Bostonians than get criminal illegal aliens OFF the street," wrote DHS.

Busy Philipps is grateful to be alive after spending six months battling a brain tumor.
Talking with People in an interview published Wednesday, Philipps revealed that she learned about her grade 2 oligodendroglioma – a rare and slow-moving tumor – right as she booked her upcoming role on "Cupertino." She called the experience "the weirdest six months of my life."
"I'm grateful that I'm alive," she said.
The tumor was discovered after Philipps did a Prenuvo MRI scan. She did it despite her doctors saying it wasn't needed because she was young and did not have any symptoms but she felt the need to do it anyway.
The day before the scan was scheduled, Philipps' friend and former "Dawson's Creek" co-star James Van Der Beek lost his battle with cancer and the day after the scan she was set to meet with "Cupertino" creators Michelle and Robert King. She wondered if because of all that if she should just cancel the scan but a conversation with her ex-husband Marc Silverstein convinced her to stick it out.

Frankie Muniz opened up about some serious heartbreak nearly two months after announcing his divorce from wife Paige Price.
The Malcolm in the Middle alum, 40, revealed that he was struggling in a cryptic post shared on X on Wednesday, August 26.
"Am I naive to say that I didn't know that having a broken heart actually meant your heart physically aches," Muniz wrote. "I'd rather break my back again."
The Big Fat Liar star was likely referring to a serious 2009 race car crash that left him with a broken back and multiple other broken bones.
While he didn't reveal what prompted the message, it comes less than two months after he and Price, 34, announced they were ending their marriage after nearly seven years following a private separation.

"I'm grateful that I'm alive," Phillips shared as she recovers from a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, which is found in only 1,100 to 1,300 people per year in the U.S., according to her neuro-oncologist, Dr. Alexandra Miller.

"'This is a real tumor, and it's inside your brain. And, Busy, it's got to come out,'" Philipps recalled Devinsky telling her on the phone. "I was hyperventilating and trying to breathe."
After her surgery on March 2, a mass in her brain measuring 2.6 centimeters was removed and biopsied.

Home Alone 2 actor Tim Curry died on Tuesday, August 25.
According to TMZ, Curry's health was on the decline for over a decade before his death at the age of 80. The Hollywood star died at his Los Angeles home. No cause of death has yet been revealed for the revered actor.
In 2025, Curry shared with The Hollywood Reporter that he was still unable to walk following a near-fatal stroke in 2012.
"I still can't walk, which is why I'm in this silly chair, and that's very limiting. So I won't be singing, and I won't be dancing very soon. I still have real problems with my left leg," he shared at a screening for the 50th anniversary of the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which he starred alongside Susan Sarandon.
Curry often displayed his knack for musical theater in his roles, including playing Rooster Hannigan in the 1982 film adaptation of Annie, as well as several Broadway productions, such as Monty Python's Spamalot, My Favorite Year, and Hair.

Despite strong sales and growing momentum, Hyundai (005380.KS) CEO Carlos Munoz is going on the offensive in the US.
Hyundai revealed at its 2026 CEO Investor Day today that it will build more of its cars on US soil and pack American showrooms with new hybrids and its first extended-range EV, the centerpiece of its most aggressive product push in its history. New trucks and even a mid-size Toyota Tacoma competitor are coming too.
Munoz is betting on localized US production and that a wave of in-demand hybrids can lift profits and rev sales even as the overall US car market sits in neutral.
"Our fundamentals have never been stronger. Hyundai Motor Group is the third-largest automotive group and the second-most profitable, which gives us the ability to invest while others are pulling back," Muñoz said in a presentation. The company is bringing "more than 100 new models to market by 2030 with multiple powertrain options" while "raising our operating margin above 9 percent."
Of particular importance is the upcoming Santa Fe midsize SUV EREV [Extended Range Electric Vehicle], due in the first half of 2027 and built at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama. It pairs a battery with an onboard charger for more than 600 miles of range.

A brief description was provided of why Hamm was chosen to go with the Commanders, calling it "a tribute to 'The Hogs.'" Washington officially debuted their mascot, Major Tuddy, in 2023 who is a hog. But, he is a tribute to the Commanders' offensive lines in the 1980s and 1990s that were known as "The Hogs."
Among the teams in the NFC East, Washington is one of two teams that have a character from the Toy Story franchise. The Dallas Cowboys were paired with Woody from the same movie franchise; it is an appropriate pairing given Woody is a cowboy. The New York Giants were paired with Wreck-it-Ralph from the Wreck-it-Ralph movies while the Philadelphia Eagles character is Doctor Doom who is set to become Marvel's next major villain.

Josh Tongue has revealed that direct-speaking England captain Joe Root left the squad under no illusions regarding expected behavioural standards as they attempt to clean up their public image.
Root was clearly annoyed on Tuesday while responding to the latest off-field controversy surrounding the squad, describing himself as "hacked off" following an incident where fast bowler Brydon Carse was briefly arrested outside a venue in Derby on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.
Carse was dropped from the squad pending an inquiry by the Cricket Regulator, leading Root to hold a 'robust' team discussion prior to Thursday's second Rothesay Test against Pakistan, setting out his expectations just a fortnight after making his return as skipper.
Tongue insists that the message was received loud and clear following ten months regularly disrupted by unwelcome stories concerning team discipline off the pitch.
"We had a chat before training yesterday as Joe said. It was a very good conversation and he made it clear what he expects from us," he said.

NVDA has beaten EPS estimates five straight quarters yet fallen on earnings day four times, with declines reaching roughly 6%.
With roughly 70% year-over-year growth already baked into FY2027 consensus, it is guidance rather than reported beats that decides how NVIDIA's stock moves after earnings.
Don't wait: the ***** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) reports fiscal second-quarter results after the close on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, and the setup is unusual for a company this dominant. Over the past five quarters, NVIDIA has beaten Wall Street on both earnings and revenue every time. Yet in the four quarters since Q1 FY2026, the stock has fallen after earnings.
Consensus estimates call for non-GAAP earnings of roughly $2.09 per share on revenue near $92 billion, roughly double year over year. NVIDIA guided last quarter to $91.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, with non-GAAP gross margin around 75.0% and no China Data Center compute revenue in the outlook. Wedbush ***** yst Matt Bryson expects a beat on both the top and bottom line and carries a $330 price target. He captured the dynamic well, noting NVIDIA has "consistently exceeded consensus" the last three quarters "yet the stock is roughly unchanged from October of last year."

In the past few days, the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has soared 21% (as of Aug. 24). The bulls are preparing for the positive market sentiment to continue and lift the world's top cryptocurrency out of its slump and to a new record.
However, Bitcoin continues to face threats, most recently highlighted by the surprisingly weak security of a popular hardware wallet that allowed hackers to steal $130 million in ****** ets. This unfortunate event negatively impacts the public's trust in this digital ****** et.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Here's what Bitcoin investors need to know.
In a wave of attacks in late July and early August, it was revealed that the private keys of certain Coldcard wallets were able to be easily derived by malicious actors. Sold by Canadian company Coinkite, these devices implemented weak random number generators to create seed phrases. By brute force, hackers could figure out users' private keys remotely, thereby stealing funds.

A 4% yield requires $2.34 million in capital versus $936,000 at 10%, but high yields risk NAV erosion and return-of-capital distributions.
Dividend-growth stocks at 4% compounding 7% annually produce roughly $184,000 in year 10, versus a flat $93,600 from a 10% high-yield portfolio.
Auditing actual after-tax spending may reveal you only need $6,000 monthly instead of $7,800, reducing required portfolio capital by $500,000.
Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset's free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don't waste another minute; learn more here.
Replacing $7,800 a month, or $93,600 a year, from dividends is a specific number with a specific answer: it depends entirely on the yield you accept. The right yield choice is the difference between a portfolio that grows into an inflation hedge and one that quietly liquidates itself while paying you back with your own principal. This piece lays out the capital math at three yield tiers, using durable dividend payers as anchors, and flags where the yield trap risk actually lives.

SPAXX tracks T-bill yields near 4% but its 0.42% expense ratio ranks among the highest in its money market peer group.
VMFXX runs historically cheaper than SPAXX, and FDLXX delivers state-tax advantages, giving cost-focused investors two direct upgrades to consider.
Don't wait: the ****** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
If you have a Fidelity brokerage account, there is a good chance your uninvested cash is already sitting in Fidelity Government Money Market Fund (NASDAQ:SPAXX) and you have never given it a second thought. Fidelity parks uninvested cash in SPAXX by default, and most investors never look. That is fine for a while. It becomes expensive the moment short rates start moving and you do not notice.
SPAXX is a government money market mutual fund run by Fidelity that holds short-term U.S. government securities, Treasury repurchase agreements, and cash. Its job is simple: preserve $1 per share, pay interest daily, and stay liquid. It sits inside the Fidelity Hereford Street Trust and doubles as the core position, meaning it is where trade proceeds, dividends, and deposits land automatically until you invest them.

Investors seeking exposure to software stocks can choose between established giants and high-growth specialists. Comparing Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) reveals a choice between steady enterprise dominance and aggressive expansion in cybersecurity. Investors look at these two because they represent different risk-reward profiles within the broader software sector.
Salesforce provides a comprehensive suite of tools for managing customer relationships, while CrowdStrike focuses on cybersecurity to secure device endpoints and cloud workloads. Both companies are leveraging artificial intelligence to automate complex tasks for their corporate clients.
As a major player among tech stocks, Salesforce is seeing strong adoption of its AI-powered, cloud-based Agentforce platform. The company serves more than 150,000 customers globally, emphasizing autonomous AI agents and Slack integration for collaboration. It sells primarily through direct sales to businesses of all sizes, and no single customer accounts for more than 10% of total revenue.
In its latest annual report, covering its 2026 fiscal year (FY), revenue reached $41.5 billion, representing 9.6% year-over-year growth. This expansion supported a net income of $7.5 billion, resulting in a net margin of 18%. This shows an improvement over the previous year, when the net margin was 16.4% on $37.9 billion in revenue.
As of its January 2026 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is 0.3x and the current ratio is 0.8x. This current ratio indicates liabilities exceed ***** ets due in the next year, while free cash flow, which is the cash remaining after capital expenditures, reached $14.4 billion. Note that stock-based compensation (SBC) represented 23.4% of operating cash flow, which inflates reported cash generation since SBC is a non-cash expense added back in the cash flow statement.

Once a worker reaches full retirement age of 67, Social Security cannot withhold benefits regardless of how much they earn returning to work.
Union pension funds can permanently suspend monthly checks when retirees return to the same industry, trade, and geographic area for 40-plus hours a month.
Suspended pension checks are rarely paid back, so a $8,000 job that pauses a $2,400 monthly pension must be evaluated on net gain, not headline pay.
Don't wait: the ****** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
A heavy-equipment operator sits in an excavator cab downtown. Around 2005, he helped put up the five-story office building in front of him. Two decades later, the city wants stadium parking there, and a contractor has called him back for one last job: tearing down what he helped build. At 67, the pay is good, the controls still feel familiar, and Social Security keeps arriving without interruption. Then his union pension fund learns where he is working.

DHS pays monthly at a 3.3% yield and owns high-dividend stocks SCHD's strict 10-year consecutive payment requirement screens out.
SCHD charges just 0.06% versus DHS's 0.38%, costing investors an extra $320 annually per $100,000. This expense gap is reflected in its $111 billion size advantage.

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHD) has become the default answer for dividend investors.

But SCHD is not the only way to build a portfolio around American dividend stocks.
The WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Fund (NYSEARCA:DHS) takes a noticeably different approach, pays its distributions every month, and owns several high-yielding stocks that SCHD's methodology can leave behind. The surprising part is how little money has noticed. DHS holds only about $1.6 billion in ******* ets despite launching all the way back in 2006.

The Baltimore Ravens have spent much of training camp evaluating young players competing for larger roles. One who is generating a lot more attention in recent weeks is defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles. The flashes have been difficult to miss. Whether it's disrupting plays in practice, creating pressure in preseason games, or earning praise from his coaches, Peebles has steadily worked his way into the conversation as one of Baltimore's more intriguing depth pieces along the defensive front.
Head coach Jesse Minter recently pointed to the playmaking instincts that keep showing up on tape. Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver echoed that, offering an even more revealing ****** sment. During a recent conversation with reporters, Weaver was asked about Peebles' development and what he has seen from the young defensive lineman. His answer included a comparison that immediately stood out. It shouldn't be glossed over or taken lightly.
"'Fub' [Aeneas Peebles] to me is all about consistency, and the comparison I have made to him is I coached Kyle Williams in Buffalo."
Williams was one of the NFL's most respected interior defenders during his career. He earned six Pro Bowl selections while becoming a cornerstone of the Buffalo Bills' defense. Weaver isn't claiming Peebles has reached that level yet. What he is saying is that he sees similarities in the traits that made Williams successful. The most interesting part of Weaver's answer wasn't the comparison itself. It was his explanation of what separates flashes from consistent production.
According to the Ravens' defensive coordinator, Williams possessed a complete understanding of his strengths and how to maximize them. Peebles, meanwhile, is still working through that process.
