Michael Douglas was thousands of miles away from Catherine Zeta-Jones when they first started dating, but apparently, another famous man was finding reasons to spend time with the actress.
The couple had to make long distance work after meeting in 1998 (@ Getty Images)
In his new memoir, One ***** of a Ride, Douglas recalls that Kobe Bryant, who lived above Zeta-Jones' home in Pacific Palisades, California, kept stopping by while the couple was trying to make their long-distance relationship work.
"Apparently Kobe kept finding excuses to stop by Catherine's house. I'm not sure how many times he 'lost his dog,' but it was a lot!" Douglas wrote.

A family friend of Chad Lowe's late daughter, Fiona, is sharing some insight into the teen's mindset ahead of her tragic death.
Music executive Mykesha Robinson, whose daughter Faith was best friends with Fiona in elementary school, told the Daily Mail that "something happened" to the 13-year-old after the devastating fires ravaged Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood in January 2025, killing at least 28 people and destroying more than 16,000 structures, including the Lowe family home.
"They lost everything," Robinson added.
Robinson claimed that Faith and Fiona met on the first day of school at Palisades Charter Elementary School in the Pacific Palisades, California, and quickly became "two peas in a pod," earning the nickname "FiFi" among their friends.

For years, Chad Lowe and his family appeared to have built a close-knit life in Pacific Palisades, with their three daughters growing up surrounded by family, school friends and dance.

Her parents have described their heartbreak, while a family friend says, "something happened" after the fire.

Chad Lowe's eldest daughter Mabel, 17, found a quiet and deeply personal way to honor her late sister, Fiona, just days after the 13-year-old's heartbreaking death on September 29.
On October 2, Mabel reposted a video of her younger sister on her Instagram Story doing one of the things she loved the most: dancing. Kendra Andrews, the younger sister of sports reporter Erin Andrews, posted the original video. She's a professional dancer and actress in Los Angeles, and she also choreographed for Fiona.

Rob Lowe and his family are supporting younger brother Chad Lowe and Chad's wife, Kim Painter, following the death of their 13-year-old daughter, Fiona.
"Rob and Chad are very close," a family source told PEOPLE. The source said relatives and friends have gathered around Chad and Kim as they grieve.
Fiona died on Sept. 29. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later listed the manner of her death as suicide.
The loss comes less than two years after Chad, Kim and their daughters lost their Pacific Palisades home in the January 2025 wildfires, another period when Rob publicly stepped in to help his brother's family.
The family source said the priority now is making sure Chad and Kim have people around them who know and love them.

Billy Crystal stopped by Wednesday night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to explain the origins of his new, one-man Broadway show and reveal why he is "so grateful" that he gets to actually bring it to audiences.
Crystal **** led the show "860," which was the street address of the house that he and his family lived in for 46 years before it was destroyed last year in California's devastating Palisades Fire. In the aftermath of his home's destruction, Crystal said he began to impulsively film and document every moment on his phone, starting with shots of first responders' planes flying overhead to drop water on the fires.
"I started filming the planes coming over and all that stuff, and I never stopped filming. Whenever there was another event happening, I would just capture everything," Crystal said, adding, "I started, in my mind, writing a narrative about everything that was happening. I didn't know what form it was going to take. It might have been a documentary. It might have just been for us, you know? It kept the pain away from me."
"Over time, I started writing stories that went along with the videos that I was taking," Crystal continued. "It started to be not only very dramatic, but also really funny because most of it takes place inside the house."

A realtor from Texas is having a viral moment on Instagram for showing that there was nothing behind the kitchen cabinet doors of a house that she was selling.
The video also uses the trending "I hope you're hungry, for nothing!" audio, adding to the post's humor, with commenters making various puns and jokes about the peculiar lack of a cabinet on the post.
Heather Kerr is a Houston-based realtor who also creates content on social media. A lot of her content is related to her work as a realtor, but she also posts about her life and religion.
Her first viral moment happened recently, thanks to a video in which she showed the very unusual kitchen cabinet door with no actual cabinet behind it in a Pasadena house that she was selling.
The video, posted on September 22nd, has since garnered nearly 2 million views on Instagram, as well as 100,000 likes and over 500 comments.

When President Donald Trump’s name was ordered removed from the Kennedy Center this spring, it seemed that an opening to move on from his reign over the performing arts center might have emerged.
“I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management,” the president wrote in a late-May Truth Social post, seemingly relinquishing the control he’d seized a year prior.
Speculation even bubbled up among some of the more than a dozen “ex-officio,” board members — who don’t get a vote but are not allied with Trump — over whether the former board chairman, billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, could be brought back to help restore the center’s fundraising and programming, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. (CNN has asked Rubenstein for comment.)
But after Trump said he would remain chairman, “it kind of all squelched pretty quickly,” one of the sources said. The hope that his crusade to rename a monument dedicated to the memory of John F. Kennedy had ended turned out to be wishful thinking.
Instead, nine months from a cold December day when cranes first placed Trump’s name on the marble façade, the institution has been brought to the brink by the president still very much engaged in a fight: lights have been turned off inside, infrastructure is crumbling and protests swirl while legal battles mount.

PASADENA, Calif. - For three quarters and seven minutes, Bob Chesney's Rose Bowl debut was a dull affair, then just as quickly, the Bruins gave their faithful fans and historic stadium plenty to cheer about.
The SDSU Aztecs came to town looking to present a challenge and they certainly didn't make things easy on the Bruins, nor did the Bruins make things easy back. Both siders traded drives where they accomplished relatively nothing. So much nothing in fact the first play to go past the 50-yard line and into opposing territory didn't happen until Brian Rowe Jr. caught a pass with 11:47 left in the second quarter and both sides went into halftime tied 0-0.
Neither side particularly excelled with their passing, even if UCLA had the slight edge through the first half and finished with a much larger edge with 151 net passing yards to just 45 by SDSU and both sides were equally unsuccessful in their rushing attempts early on, but things started to change for UCLA in the second half.
"That is not the way we want to play football, obviously in the first half," Chesney said. "But at the same point in time, that's where we found ourselves. And I think every once in a while, it wasn't pretty, but it was gritty, and you need one of those."
UCLA struck first with a rushing touchdown courtesy of fifth-year running back Wayne Knight early in the third quarter, but UCLA could have scored far earlier than that if senior quarterback Nico Iamaleava made a different decision in a critical moment.

PASADENA -- San Diego State's defense did practically everything they could to keep the Aztecs in the game against UCLA. They just needed the offense to come along for the ride.
Despite the defense largely holding UCLA's offense in check, SDSU's offense managed just 189 yards and one touchdown — coming effectively in garbage time — in a 28-10 loss to the Bruins at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
"Inefficiency on offense led to a bunch of snaps for the defense," head coach Sean Lewis said. "Starting three and out there constantly, we were behind in the field position game. So I think just the culmination of snaps, the inefficiency on offense. It starts with the play calling, with myself, the leadership throughout the course of the week, so that we can have more success and flip the field."
Nowhere was SDSU's offensive struggle more apparent than in the passing game. The Aztecs completed just six passes for 45 yards, and several deep shots by quarterback Jayden Denegal were wildly off-target.
"[We] felt like we had good matchups on the edge," Lewis said. "There was a lot of single-high coverage. Again, those are good, calculated shots downrange. We got ***** on hands that we didn't catch. We had other guys wide open that we missed."

The UCLA Bruins defeated the San Diego State Aztecs 28-10 in their home opener at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif. on Sept. 12.
The Bruins were held scoreless for the first half of the game, but took the lead in the third and blew up in the fourth to steamroll the Aztecs. UCLA head coach Bob Chesney was able to keep his team together yet again as he leaves his first home opener in the Rose Bowl triumphant. Here were five takeaways from the Week 2 performance.
The Bruins defense defended their den viciously for the season opener as they held the Aztecs scoreless for the first three quarters of play. San Diego State's lone touchdown came on the defense's worse drive of the game that was filled with penalties that led the Aztecs down the field and into the endzone.
Nonetheless, the defense was the strongest side of the ball for the majority of the game as they held the Aztecs to just 45-passing yards, had two sacks, six tackles-for-loss and an interception that was snagged by senior linebacker Jalen Woods.
FIRST CAREER INT FOR J-9! 💪

It's not just game day, it's the first home game for Bob Chesney as head coach of the UCLA Bruins. UCLA will be taking on San Diego State at the Rose Bowl, with both teams eyeing a 2-0 start to the 2026 season.
We'll get our first look at how Chesney has his team looking in Pasadena, with the program looking to keep the ball rolling after an offseason filled with positive momentum. UCLA passed their first test, knocking off Cal on the road in Week 1.
Here are five questions for the Bruins entering Week 2 versus the Aztecs.
The UCLA offensive line dominated up front, allowing for major games from running backs Anthony Woods and Wayne Knight. While it'll be tough for UCLA to match their 277 yards they got in Week 1, a successful rushing offense will make everything else much easier for the Bruins.
There were many highlights from UCLA's Week 1 victory. One thing that wasn't great from the Bruins was their penalties. UCLA committed 12 penalties, giving away 110 yards. That isn't sustainable and will be something to improve upon in Week 2.

Hours before its fourth game of the season, Pasadena High School (California) announced that it is canceling the rest of its 2026 varsity high school football season.
The school hopes to play its remaining games on a junior varsity-only schedule. The Bulldogs — who won the CIF Southern Section football championship for the first time since 1933 in 2024 — cited concerns about player safety as the reason.
Starting with Friday, Sept. 11's, matchup against Monrovia, Pasadena will forfeit the remaining seven games on its varsity schedule. The team lost 21 seniors from a team that went 6-5 in 2025.
The Pasadena Unified School District sent an email to the parents of players on the team on Friday, citing the loss of ten potential starters transferring out of district.
"As you know, we began the football season with a young and enthusiastic varsity team that now has 46 members," the school district said in its statement. "During the off-season, ten potential starters transferred to schools outside the district. These transfers affected the team's collective skill and experience level.

WATERBURY - High school football's double-wing offense is affectionately known by smashmouth running game enthusiasts as the "hammer."
Naugatuck was down 14 points in its season opener against Holy Cross on Thursday night at Municipal Stadium's Ray Snyder Sr. Field, but that changed once the visitors went to the hammer offense.
The Greyhounds scored three unanswered touchdowns, the last two runs of 15 and 4 yards by Brandon Andoh behind a monster offensive line, to stun the Crusaders 27-20.
Andoh's 4-yard score with 33.4 seconds left in the game and Gabriel Bello's third extra point in four attempts gave Naugatuck a 7-point lead, its first of the game.
The Greyhounds' defense made sure a last-ditch Hail Mary pass from Crusaders quarterback Brady Lombardo came up short of the end zone. That set off a massive celebration by Naugatuck and its student section.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Two members of the Iranian women's soccer team who claimed asylum in Australia have confirmed their pivotal refusal to sing the national anthem during the Women's Asian Cup in March was a protest against Tehran.
The first media interview with Atefeh Ramezanisadeh, 34, and Fatemeh Pasandideh, 22, since they abandoned their team to become refugees was broadcast Sunday on Australia's "60 Minutes" current affairs program.
"We just wanted to stand with our people. I was scared at times, but I just tried to do what was right and say that no one should be killed just for protesting," Ramezanisadeh told Nine Network through an interpreter.
The team was criticized in Iran and branded as traitors in the media there for remaining silent when the Iranian national anthem was played ahead of their opening loss against South Korea on March 2.
Some saw it as an act of resistance, while others interpreted it as a show of mourning following the U.S. and Israeli attacks on their homeland which began on Feb. 28. The team offered no public explanation.

Sept 4 (Reuters) - From the Editor
Are the vigilantes back? Bond yields spiked across developed markets this week, with many hitting multi-decade highs, as rising deficits, elevated inflation and a surge of AI-driven corporate debt issuance left traders demanding higher compensation for the risk of holding longer-term government debt.
Far from a moral crusade by fixed income investors seeking to influence fiscal policy, this instead looks like a logical response to the economic facts on the ground, including the dawning reality that borrowing rates in many large markets are likely going to be higher for longer.
Over the past week, the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yield surged to roughly 4.80%, hitting its highest point since President Donald Trump returned to the White House early last year. This undid any positive impact from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's bond-buying announcement two weeks ago.

How can Palm Beach County high school football possibly follow last week's drama?
Pahokee, Cardinal Newman and Palm Beach Lakes delivered some of the state's best games with victories in Week 2. The Blue Devils defeated Royal Palm Beach on a 75-yard trick-play touchdown, the Crusaders blocked a last-minute extra point to win and the Rams dropped 58 points in a west-coast shootout.
Somehow, we have to turn the page and begin again in Week 3 with a slate that is yet again extremely promising.

Glentoran were the comfortable 3-1 victors over Linfield at the Oval in the first round of the County Antrim Shield, while holders Carrick Rangers exited after being defeated by Crusaders after a penalty shootout.
Jordan Jenkins struck twice inside the opening six minutes to hand the home side a dream start in east Belfast before Charlie Chapman's early second-half strike threatened a Linfield fightback.
The Blues could not find a way back level after Cal Weatherup restored the home side's two-goal advantage.
At Seaview, Jacob Blaney and Owen Wardell gave the Crues a comfortable lead before an impressive final five minutes from the holders forced the tie to be decided on penalties.
However, Declan Caddell's side were the 5-4 victors in the penalty shootout to book their spot in the next round.

WORCESTER – The Holy Cross football team looked forward to the challenge of and the opportunity to face nationally-ranked Lehigh, the defending Patriot League champion, in its season opener Aug. 29 at Fitton Field.
The Crusaders, largely new in 2026 with the infusion of 15 transfers and 18 first-year players and coming off a 3-9 campaign, were hopeful of starting the year fresh.
The No. 11 Mountain Hawks quickly dispelled those aspirations during a dominant first quarter.
Lehigh star senior running back Luke Yoder rushed for 90 of his 130 yards and two of his three touchdowns in the first 15 minutes, and the Mountain Hawks rolled to a 35-10 win in Rich Nagy's debut as coach.
"Against a (top team in the country), you're going to find out real quick where you're at," HC coach Dan Curran said. "There were some things we're excited about and there are some things we have to correct moving forward."

Glentoran 1 - 2 Crusaders FT
Crusaders substitute Aaron Reid scored an 88th minute winner to secure a 2-1 win for Declan Caddell's side after a dogged display over Glentoran at the Oval.
Owen Wardell put the visitors in front in the first half, before Ben Gallagher equalised on 68 minutes.
It looked like the hosts looked more likely to score again, but it was at the other end where Reid finished to secure all three points for Crusaders.

The 2026 volleyball squad has already taken things a step further, defeating St. Henry 23-25, 25-12, 25-18 to claim back-to-back regional ***** les.
Beechwood had the home-court advantage as the tournament host, but "The Den" was packed on Aug. 27 as the No. 6 Crusaders took on the No. 13 Tigers.
"Last year, St. Henry wasn't in (the tournament), so it seemed like maybe it was a little easier. They made it tough for us. We earned it. I'm proud of our resolve. We're coming together, we still have work to do and still trying to get some pieces formed, but it felt really good," Beechwood head coach Matt Long said.
Youth at the service line: Both teams had an exceptional night at the service line, but it was the Tigers who used it to their advantage early and often. Beechwood served up 14 total aces with just four errors. While the Tigers dropped the first set, freshman Kennedy Sturgeon set the tone for the night, giving them a 5-1 lead early.

Jane Fonda has released a statement in support of Mark Ruffalo after Paramount slammed the four-time Oscar nominee as "antisemitic" for a recent post denouncing Larry Ellison's ties to Israel and David Ellison's planned merger with Warner Bros.
"Especially as a Jewish American, I find it deeply troubling to see false accusations of antisemitism used to silence legitimate political criticism in this country," Fonda wrote in a statement shared to the Committee for the 1st Amendment Instagram. "Antisemitism is real and dangerous, which is precisely why the charge should never be used as a cudgel against people whose political views you dislike, in this case as dedicated a crusader for democracy as Mark, whom we are proud to have as a Committee member and to be in this fight with us."

Manager Oran Kearney says he hopes Ballymena United can build on a "positive" start to the season against Glentoran on Friday.
The Sky Blues stunned Linfield 3-0 on the opening weekend of the season but lost 2-1 at Crusaders in their second outing.
Ballymena had a big turnover of players over the summer with 11 new arrivals at the Showgrounds, but Kearney is pleased with their start to the campaign.
"I think the big worry always with that first game is making sure that you're up to speed, particularly against a side that had played in Europe and maybe had been in earlier than us," Kearney told BBC Sport NI's Nicola McCarthy.
"So we were happy with the start that we got, but just a bit frustrated that we didn't back it up last Saturday."
