Sydney Sweeney's blonde bombshell aesthetic just might be hereditary.
The "Euphoria" actress and the late Marilyn Monroe are distant relatives, according to a new MyHeritage study shared with USA TODAY.
The genealogy research site notes the actresses are ninth cousins, once removed, meaning that there is a one-generation gap between them.
The Hollywood darlings share the common ancestors Ezra Perry and Elizabeth Burgess, 17th-century British settlers in Massachusetts, through Sweeney's father, Steven Sweeney, and Monroe's biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford, according to the online genealogy company.
The Perry-Burgess lineage also includes former President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

UConn men's basketball coach Dan Hurley has landed his first big recruit of the 2027 class.
Five-star prospect NaVarro Bowman Jr. has committed to UConn, ESPN reporter Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. Bowman is the son of former San Francisco 49ers all-pro linebacker NaVarro Bowman Sr. and is UConn's first commit in this class.

A proposal to move the Chicago White Sox from Rate Field in Bridgeport to a new riverfront stadium in the South Loop is drawing mixed reactions from fans and elected officials as the team considers the concept as a potential future ballpark site.
Developer Canal Edge recently unveiled renderings for "The Railyards," a proposed mixed-use development near Roosevelt Road and Canal Street that would include a possible new home for the White Sox, along with residential, commercial and retail components and an outpatient care center for Northwestern Medicine.
The proposal remains in its early stages.
Fans attending a game at Rate Field expressed differing views on the possibility of relocating the team.
"Don't love it. Let's keep it where it is. We don't need the Sox moving. We don't need the Bears moving," White Sox fan Hannah Harris said.

No doubt you've seen an "FDIC-insured" or "Member FDIC" sign on the wall of a bank or at the bottom of a bank website homepage. Almost all banks, including online banks, are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
The FDIC is an independent government agency that insures money people deposit at a bank. If the bank fails, the FDIC repays up to $250,000 per person, per ownership category at each FDIC-insured bank.
The FDIC was created in 1933 in response to the turmoil of the 1929 stock market crash. Following the crash, people rushed to withdraw their money from banks. As a result of these bank runs, as many as 9,000 banks failed and $7 billion dollars in deposits were lost, wiping out the life savings of millions of Americans.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933, establishing the FDIC to restore trust in the US banking system. The FDIC reports that since then, no one has lost any FDIC-insured money due to a bank failure.

Here are five high school games/sporting events to watch out for this week:
This is always one of the top early-season invitationals, including Crestwood, Field, Garfield, Southeast and Streetsboro out of Portage County. The Rockets boys and Red Devils girls are coming off team ****** les at last week's Billy Goat Challenge. Streetsboro had three runners in the top 11 of the boys race: senior Ares Miller (fifth, 18:41.59), sophomore Preston Krzeminski (ninth, 19:11.16) and sophomore Ryan Haber (11th, 19:14.72). Crestwood had two in the top four of the girls race, seniors Piper Seibold (second, 20:47.77) and senior Madie Grace Gonczy (fourth, 21:44.23), while Streetsboro (junior Cara Thomson and senior Kaelyn Malloy) and Field (sophomore Alison Church) also had top-10 finishers.

Two undefeated teams square off in this epic clash in Kent, their first meeting as Metro Athletic Conference rivals. Both recently recorded signature nonleague wins, with Roosevelt topping Lake (Federal League) and Field topping Copley (Suburban League). The Rough Riders have scored a whopping 22 goals through three games (including eight from senior Audrey Haines) while the Falcons have yielded just three in their first five games.
It's too bad Portage County soccer fans can't be two places at once because both Falcons-Rough Riders games are must-watch. Indeed, while the girls teams haven't squared off in a while, the Field and Roosevelt boys have played each of the last three seasons with all three games decided by a single goal, including the Falcons prevailing 4-3 in Kent a year ago. Field carries an undefeated record into this year's clash while both teams are trying to stay atop the MAC standings with matching 2-0 records entering the night.

Chicago State University kicked off a new chapter in its history Saturday, taking the field for its first-ever college football game as it opened its inaugural season at SeatGeek Stadium against Roosevelt University.
Tailgates, grills and enthusiastic fans filled the stadium grounds ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, which drew alumni, students and supporters eager to witness the program's debut.

Others said they wanted to support the university as it launches its new program.

OTTUMWA — Just hours before heading back to the class, members of the Ottumwa High School girls tennis team passed new tests on Tuesday at Dan Staggs Family Courts.
Three Bulldog players picked up wins in their varsity singles debut while Layla Criswell and Victoria Sosa closed out the dual earning a win in their debut as a varsity doubles team. All told, Ottumwa won every single set in 10 matches played against Des Moines Hoover-East improving to 3-0 in Iowa Alliance Conference south division duals with an 11-0 victory over the Polar Bears on a night where the depth of the Bulldogs was on full display.
"I told the girls before the match that it can be tough to play people that aren't quite as skilled at the game as themselves," Ottumwa head girls tennis coach Leanna White said. "What I was looking for was people who were going to go out there and play the game I know they can play as individuals."
Ottumwa (8-3) heads to Des Moines Roosevelt on Thursday for the dual that could decide the Iowa Alliance south division championship. Action at Waveland Courts will get underway at 4 p.m.

The White House has branded comedian Rosie O'Donnell a "total slob" after she joked on late night television that Natalie Harp, Donald Trump's devoted executive ***** istant, tucks the president into bed at night.
O'Donnell's quip, made Wednesday night during her stint as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, comes as Trump's 35-year-old aide has been at the center of intense media and public scrutiny over her unusually close relationship with and proximity to the president. The comedian opened the episode wishing viewers "a special ***** o to those of you watching from home and from the White House."
"But I do have some bad news for President Petty Roosevelt," she continued. "That's all I'm going to say about you tonight, sweetheart. You got to realize it's time to hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in," O'Donnell said, drawing audible gasps from the audience.
In response, the White House unleashed an insult-laden statement on O'Donnell, who has been feuding with Trump for 20 years.
"Rosie O'Donnell is a nasty woman and a total slob whose brain has been completely destroyed by Trump Derangement Syndrome," White House spokesman Davis Ingle told PEOPLE.

The White House has responded to Rosie O'Donnell's critique of its' Appointments Secretary Natalie Harp.
While filling in for Jimmy Kimmel on his late-night show this week, the comedian has taken daily jabs at President Donald Trump. Her latest has been centered around his controversial relationship with his political aide.
During her opening monologue on Wednesday, August 19, O'Donnell said, "A special **** o to those of you watching from home — and from the White House. But I do have some bad news for President Petty Roosevelt: that's all I'm gonna say about you tonight, sweetheart."
She continued, "You gotta realize it's time to hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in. Time to go nighty-night!"

It's the economy, stupid.
Political strategist James Carville coined that phrase during Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential run against George H.W. Bush to remind Democrats to focus on pocketbook issues, but some ***** ysts said that logic can also be applied to keep Social Security afloat.
The trust fund that supplements incoming payroll taxes to pay monthly Social Security benefits is expected to run dry by the end of 2032, according to the program's trustees. When that happens, the law requires benefits to be reduced by an estimated 22% to ensure the program's costs do not exceed its revenues.
While Congress has yet to raise taxes, cut benefits, or do both to keep affording payouts as population growth slows, some economists say the strongest Social Security reforms may not look like Social Security policy at all. Instead, they say, Congress should shift its focus to managing the economy better to encourage more Americans to work and earn.
"Social Security is a reflection of, and is supported by, the strength of the economy," said economist and Social Security expert Kathryn Anne Edwards at center-left think tank Roosevelt Institute. "Who is working, how much they earn, how healthy they are, and how much they save matter more than the head count. People could live longer, have fewer kids, and have a solvent Social Security if workers earned enough money."

Aug. 5—A challenging year awaits Wayne in the eyes of head coach Roosevelt Mukes.
The Warriors nonconference schedule consists of a road game at Fairfield before hosting state powers Cincinnati St. Xavier and Lakewood St. Edward. The rigors of Greater Western Ohio Conference play follows.
"That's why you come to a place like Wayne High School to play a schedule like that and just compete," Mukes said.
Wayne competed well in 2025. The Warriors reached the Region 2 final for a second consecutive season. That has the team hungry to take the next step needed to get back to the state final for the first time since 2015.
"Just knowing what the seniors what they left off, we got to finish what they [started]," senior Aaden Curtis said.

The week of July 5-11 saw regional softball competition kick into high gear for teams from the Ames area.
Roland-Story, the No. 12 team in Class 3A, advanced to the 3A Region 1 championship game with wins over Iowa Falls-Alden (2-0) and Pella Christian (13-1). Ames saw its season come to a close with an 8-0 setback against No. 10 Des Moines Roosevelt in the 5A Region 3 semifinals on July 11 in Des Moines.
Gilbert defeated Nevada in the 4A Region 2 quarterfinals, 2-1, before dropping an 11-9 slugfest to Newton in the semifinals. Ballard also reached the 4A Region 2 semifinals, earning a 6-1 win over Webster City in the quarterfinals before suffering a 12-4 setback to No. 2 Carlisle in the semifinals.
Collins-Maxwell saw its season come to a close with an 11-5 loss to No. 3 St. Edmond in the 1A Region 3 semifinals. The Spartans defeated North Mahaska in the quarterfinals, 9-5, on July 8.
Colo-NESCO fell to North Mahaska by a 12-0 score in the 1A Region 3 first round on July 6.

OTTUMWA — You never know when an opportunity will arise.
Quinn Larsen, for example, took full advantage of an opportunity to produce a power surge like few Ottumwa hitters have experienced. Stepping up with the first game of an Iowa Alliance Conference south division doubleheader at Des Moines East on the line, Larsen connected on the first of five home runs in six trips to the plate including a game-winning home run against the Scarlets and a two-run home run in a 7-1 win over ninth-ranked (4A) Fort Dodge.
The power surge helped spur Ottumwa to six wins in seven games at a key point of the season. The run not only helped the Bulldogs reach 20 wins in a season for the sixth straight summer, but helped Ottumwa to secure at least one extra home game this season as the Bulldogs prepare to host Iowa City High in a Class 4A, Substate 8 first round contest on Friday.
"It's a really good way to look at it. Our doubleheader with Iowa City Liberty didn't have to be our last two home games of the season," Larsen said. "If we played our best baseball, we knew we could earn this opportunity."
While the results weren't always in Ottumwa's favor, the lessons learned from a competitive schedule that featured 12 games against teams that spent time in the Class 4A statewide rankings this season. Three straight conference wins over Des Moines Roosevelt and Des Moines North, in which the Bulldogs outscored the Roughriders and Polar Bears 43-11, helped Ottumwa secure its 15th winning season in 16 years despite opening with four straight losses to top-10 opponents West Des Moines Valley and Indianola.

Argus Leader readers spent the last week putting together their Mount Rushmore of South Dakota high school football quarterbacks, and the results are in. Pierre's Lincoln Kienholz, Brandon Valley's Austin Sumner, Sioux Falls Lincoln's Brody Schafer and Sioux Falls Lincoln's Neil Graff were the top four vote getters for the Argus Leader South Dakota High School Quarterback Mount Rushmore.
Sioux Falls Roosevelt's Taryn Christion and Aberdeen Central's Josh Heupel just missed the cut.
Here's a deep dive on the four selections for the top prep quarterbacks in South Dakota history.
Kienholz was voted the top quarterback in South Dakota history after breaking the state's career passing yards mark.
Kienholz was named the 2023 USA Today National Boys Athlete of the Year during his senior year after throwing for 3,422 yards and 46 touchdowns while running for 1,435 yards and 24 scores. He guided Pierre to three consecutive Class 11AA state championships and finished his career with 9,100 passing yards and 104 touchdowns in three years.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday is taking his maiden voyage on a new Air Force One — a retrofitted Boeing 747 worth $400 million gifted by Qatar that embeds his personality more deeply into the institution of the American presidency.
Gone is the trademark light blue hull that helped Air Force One blend into the sky. The refurbished jet is painted to Trump's preferred color scheme of a navy belly and red and gold stripes. It has the luxury features that the president believes a commander-in-chief's entourage should have — plush carpets, lie-flat seats, wood paneling and a presidential seal on the seat belts, according to reported tours of the plane.
Trump told reporters that he was proud of the luxurious plane. "You can do two things: You can low-key it, or you can show it," he said.
The jet is carrying Trump to North Dakota to see the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, its first official visitor ahead of its opening on the nation's 250th anniversary.
The gift from the Middle Eastern power raised ethical concerns, but Trump saw the plane as a necessary replacement to the 35-year-old planes that had previously ferried him as president.

HOLT — Zander Woodruff hasn't given up on his Division I basketball dreams. But he sees a specific Division II opportunity as his best chance to grow and perhaps still get there.
The Lansing Community College All-American and former Laingsburg High School star is headed to Roosevelt University in Chicago to play for Illinois basketball legend Dee Brown, who's in his fifth season coaching the Lakers, who play in the GLIAC with mostly Michigan-based schools.
"The main thing was the coach — coach Dee Brown — over there has a lot of good connections, and also he was a really successful player and I've heard from other players that he's a really good guard coach, so I'm just going to go and learn from him," Woodruff said this week, after playing in the Moneyball Pro-Am summer league, on a team with a couple of his former LCC teammates (DeAire Lee and Lamont Green-Torbert), as well as MSU's Jordan Scott and Julius Avent. "He can just get me better. That's all I want to do, is get better, and being in Chicago, downtown, when once I went on my visit, it kind of just clicked right away. It was a thing where, this is a spot I want to play basketball."
Woodruff has two seasons of eligibility remaining at the Division II level and likely three seasons left if he includes Division I in his journey. Division I has adopted a five-years-to-play-five-seasons model, while Division II, for the time being, still allows four years of eligibility.
Woodruff is one of the more successful and decorated players in LCC history. He's the program's all-time leading scorer and, last season, led the Stars to a seventh-pace finish at the NJCAA Division II national championships, after which he was named a First-Team All-American.

Jun. 5—A Montgomery County grand jury has decided to ignore charges for a former University of Dayton basketball star accused of attacking a woman late Sunday, May 3 in Dayton.
Roosevelt Chapman Jr., 64, was previously charged in Dayton Municipal Court with abduction and misdemeanor ***** ault.
According to an affidavit filed in the case, Chapman approached a police officer at about 11:22 p.m.
Officers were dispatched to the first block of South Main Street on a report of suspicious circumstances, according to Dayton Police Lt. Eric Sheldon in a separate statement.
Sheldon said police officers met with a man who said he was in a vehicle crash near the intersection of Third Street and James H. McGee Boulevard.
