Kate Middleton is said to be people's favorite, but she might not be able to outshine one royal family member. According to a royal expert, the Princess of Wales has her own unique ways of handling situations compared to the late Princess Diana. It was said that Prince William's mother had raised the bar too high when it came to charity work and fashion. Hence, Middleton has been compared to her mother-in-law several times.
Kate Middleton could reportedly be under "pressure" because of the late Princess Diana's legacy in the royal family. Royal Expert Ingrid Seward talked about her new book, "Catherine & Diana: The Inside Story of how the Princesses of Wales Shaped the Modern Monarchy," with The Royal Observer. She opened up about her thoughts on the Princess of Wales's similarities and differences with Diana.
Seward believes that the former Princess of Wales' legacy might put "pressure" on Middleton's role in the monarchy. Whether it's about fashion or charity projects, Diana had caught attention every time. During the conversation on "Palace Unfiltered," Seward agreed with the journalist, claiming Middleton's role was the "most pressurized."
"It is a really pressurized, or it's become, let's say, a really pressurized position, and I think that is because of the glamour that Diana gave to this role, and no one's ever outshone her." Furthermore, the expert noted that Middleton has, however, never tried to overshadow her mother-in-law. She reportedly once said that she would "make the role my own."
"And what Catherine's been so clever to do is she's just been different. She hasn't tried to outshine her," the author said. Moreover, Seward addressed Middleton's fashion sense, which also seemed to have often drawn attention.

Kylie Jenner showed her playful mom trick to wake her kids in the "Day in the Life" vlog. She shared a video on her YouTube page, giving a glimpse of how she spends a day from morning to night. It started with waking her two kids — Stormi (8) and Aire (4) — using a clever parenting hack. This definitely seemed to work, as the two children were stirring in no time.
Kylie Jenner's "Day in the Life" vlog showed her using a clever mom trick to wake her kids as part of their morning routine. On her YouTube page, the socialite shared a video of her day with her fans. In it, she recorded herself from morning to night, sharing a glimpse of her daily routine and fun activities.
The 10-minute and 19-second clip started with Jenner holding a black megaphone. She was still under the blanket on her huge bed. Her slightly puffed face showed that she had just woken up as well. While the mother of two was on one end of the bed, her daughter Stormi was on the other side. Initially, Jenner's voice cracked while saying "Good Morning" using the megaphone. It made her burst into laughter.
Then, she composed herself and tried again— louder and clearer. "Good morning, Stormi! Rise and Shine! It's a beautiful day. You are healthy, you are beautiful, you're smart. And we're going to conquer the day. Get up," Jenner woke her daughter up in a ****** se voice. Meanwhile, Stormi stirred in her sleep and tried not to wake up, but failed.
Furthermore, Jenner used the same trick with her son, Aire. She playfully sang, "Rise and Shine. Good morning, stinky ****** ." Then, she snuggled into her kid and showered him with kisses to wake him up with more love and care. Later, Jenner set her daughter's hair before the 8-year-old left for school.

President Donald Trump on Saturday pressured Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas to support a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, urging Americans to call what appeared to be the personal cellphone number of Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House in July, but it faces roadblocks in the Senate where some Republicans are strongly opposed. Proponents, including the White House, argue that the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active. Detractors said permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker and potentially more hazardous winter mornings when children will be waiting for school buses and parents will be driving to work in darkness.
It was a remarkable escalation on Trump's part of a longstanding fixation shared by both men — with Trump supporting making daylight saving time permanent, and Cotton vociferously opposed — at a time just weeks before the midterms, when Republicans would prefer that the president focus on talking about affordability issues and the party's achievements. Cotton is also up for reelection this November, although that race is not expected to be competitive.
Daylight saving time is that period between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. Not all states observe it — and under the bill, states can opt out of the change if their respective legislatures act to do so before the bill's enactment.
"It's a lot of work for a lot of people, running around for two days, changing all the clocks in the house," Trump told reporters as his left the White House on Saturday for a rally in Vandalia, Ohio. "It discombobulates everybody," he said.

Sofia Vergara delivered one of her most elegant looks while attending Bulgari's latest dinner event. The Colombian actress later shared glimpses from the evening on Instagram, giving fans a closer look at her archival Roberto Cavalli ensemble. Vergara effortlessly turned heads in a plunging, string-strap moment, proving once again that vintage glamour can make the biggest impact.
For the outing, Sofia Vergara wore a Roberto Cavalli gown in a black and gold baroque floral print. The fitted design featured a plunging neckline held up by thin spaghetti straps. The bodice followed her figure before flaring into a ruffled mermaid hem.
The actress complemented the statement dress with Bulgari's Tubogas Clutch. Vergara carried the bag in black leather, though the design is also sold in a gold striated calf leather colorway, priced at €6,500. The iconic Tubogas handle, done in gold-plated brass, comes embellished with colored cabochon stones and zirconia across both versions.
Vergara layered in Bvugari's Serpenti Necklace, a two-coil design crafted in 18kt rose gold. The piece features 3.63 carats of pavé diamonds along the snake's head and tail, with black onyx eyes finishing the design. Made in Italy with a 40cm chain, the necklace retails for $90,000.
She also added a gold cuff bracelet to her wrist, layering in one more dose of shine alongside the Serpenti piece. Her glam stayed warm and glowing, featuring bronzed skin, softly sculpted cheeks, and a glossy nude lip. Vergara wore her dark brunette hair down in loose waves, letting it fall freely past her shoulders. The look was shared on Instagram, with the post crediting the vintage Roberto Cavalli gown alongside both Bulgari pieces by name.

Miranda Lambert just confirmed long-standing rumors that she and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger got into a bar fight back in 2010.
Appearing on the Thursday, October 1, episode of The New York Times' Popcast podcast, the country singer, 42, was asked whether it was true she once "hit Chad Kroeger in the face."
The question came after Us Weekly reported more than 15 years ago that the Canadian rocker, 51, "kept persisting" that the three-time Grammy winner do shots with him at her 27th birthday party. At the time, the outlet reported he said she "didn't have to be a [expletive] about it," before she "grabbed a shot and threw it in his face."
Joking that she was "nervous" to answer the question now, the "Somethin' Bad" singer then admitted, "I threw moonshine in his face. I did do that." She also said she "wrecked" his trademark long locks.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Renee Good's family sued the U.S. government and the architects of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown on Thursday, saying "the time is absolutely now for accountability" after her killing in January by a federal agent in Minneapolis.
Good's partner, Becca Good, and brother, Brent Ganger, accused the government and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot into her SUV and killed her, Jonathan Ross, of unjustified and excessive use of force.
The Jan. 7 shooting, captured on bystander video, was "the predictable and intended product" of the Trump administration's crackdown on Somali and other immigrants in Minnesota, an exercise that officials dubbed Operation Metro Surge, the lawsuit said.
"She was the love of my life," Becca Good said at a news conference announcing the lawsuits. "I'm here today because last January, the whole world had to watch as our entire universe was destroyed — as the sunshine who was my amazing Renee was robbed from us, from her children, and from her community."
The killings of Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, and another U.S. citizen, Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis just weeks later sparked outrage across the country and calls to rein in immigration enforcement. At least 10 people have died in encounters with immigration officers during Trump's second term.

(NEXSTAR) – The days getting shorter serve as a reminder that we’re barreling toward the end of our seasonal observation of daylight saving time, but the wheels may be in motion to stop that – a move more than a dozen states have been waiting to happen.
Earlier this year, the House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent throughout the U.S., with few exceptions. It’s been held up in the Senate since July but, now that the chamber has returned from recess, there’s a chance the legislation could be picked up.
If it can pass the Senate, the bill seems to stand a fair chance of becoming law, with President Trump already expressing support.
For more than a dozen states, this is the closest they’ve been in years to seeing some of their own legislation finally take effect. The U.S. hasn’t been this close to permanent daylight saving time since a version of the Sunshine Protection Act passed in the Senate in 2022 but fizzled in the House.
At present, states are only allowed to opt into year-round permanent standard time, as Hawaii and much of Arizona have done. But that hasn’t stopped 19 states from enacting legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent in their jurisdiction, pending approval from Congress.

Carter's unveiled a new brand identity and marketing campaign on Tuesday, as the children's clothing company works to attract a younger generation of parents and build on a recent business turnaround.
The rebrand centers on a new brand promise — "Let every child's light shine" — and a refreshed logo in which a shooting star replaces the apostrophe in the Carter's wordmark, the company said. A new 60-second film called "Watch Them Glow" will debut across connected television as the first major marketing expression of the new direction.
Chief Marketing Officer Sarah Crockett told CNBC that the company sees a significant shift in its core customer base. Gen Z is expected to account for a large share of new parents over the next several years, according to Carter's, and those parents tend to let children make their own clothing choices and turn to social media for guidance.
"We had an opportunity to really tap into the values that parents are bringing into the household," Crockett told CNBC.
The new identity will begin rolling out across Carter's channels in 2026, with additional retail, product, and packaging elements to follow in 2027, the company said. Carter's is also launching a creator program called Light Makers, featuring voices across North America, and expanding partnerships with organizations including Outward Bound and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears are attempting to become one of the highest scoring NFL teams of all time in 2026.
Head coach Ben Johnson and his team have made it no secret that they want their high-powered offense to shine. That fact was put onto full display against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 after dropping 59 points on the road.
However, Chicago's not just looking to be dominant this season. Johnson and his group are seeking a legendary campaign that can etch the NFC North franchise into the history books.
The Bears ironically already hold the NFL record for most points in a single game with 73. Meanwhile, Williams, DeAndre Swift and the talented Chicago squad could make a move on that total in 2026.

Sept. 14 (UPI) -- The planned West End revival of Sunday in the Park with George has been delayed to 2028.
Empire Street Productions announced Monday that the musical "will no longer proceed as scheduled" in 2027, with the company to "retain the rights with a view to presenting the production in 2028."
The news follows word that Wicked co-stars Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey have dropped out of the production. Grande announced in August that she "will be taking a step back from visibility" after the conclusion of her Eternal Sunshine tour, with Bailey later confirming he has "decided to also step back" from the revival.
Sunday in the Park with George features music and lyrics by famed composer Stephen Sondheim. The musical, inspired by the Georges Seurat painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, debuted on Broadway in 1984 and on West End in 2006.
Marianne Elliot was to direct the West End revival, which was originally scheduled to open at London's Barbican Centre in summer 2027.

Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey's planned reunion will no longer happen after their exits from a new project. The two stars previously appeared together in the blockbuster Wicked franchise, playing Glinda and Prince Fiyero Tigelaar, respectively.
The London revival of the popular musical Sunday in the Park With George has been canceled following Grande and Bailey's exits, according to Variety. The planned 2027 production will no longer proceed as previously thought.
"Empire Street Productions will retain the rights with a view to presenting the production in 2028. Further details will be announced in due course."
The revival was set to take place at London's Barbican Centre next summer. Ariana Grande was supposed to play both Dot and Marie. Bailey was set to star opposite her as George Seurat.
Moving forward, Ariana Grande will be busy with her upcoming The Eternal Sunshine Tour. She will also appear on the big screen in a new movie. The 33-year-old will feature alongside Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller in the comedy Focker-In-Law. It's set to hit theaters on November 25, 2026. Despite her plans to take a break, Grande will appear in the promotional events for the movie.

Gilded and glamorous, Eva Longoria graced the red carpet at the Global Gift Gala Madrid 2026, held at the Casino de Madrid on Sept. 13 in Madrid. The actress' look was ethereal from the makeup to her gown.
The "Desperate Housewives" star was ethereal, clad in a high-shine gold gown consisting of a sleeveless high-neck bodice and a form-fitted construction. Longoria's chosen garment was seemingly crafted of a fabric affixed with teeny tiny sequins that caught the camera's flash wherever she turned. The dress was straight up and down, a silhouette with shape in the center before shooting straight down to the floor where the skirt pooled at her feet.

This offseason, the Heat witnessed a complete change in its roster. From superstar acquisitions through trade exchanges to top players leaving impressive salaries to join the roster, they saw a major upheaval. However, two players who were unaffected by these events were Andrew Wiggins and Simone Fontecchio.
Both players not only get to continue on the team but were also offered retention; a lifeline offered to only a handful this time. Now, with the next season approaching, the players have to meet high expectations to justify their contracts.
Earlier in the summer, Wiggins exercised the $30.1 million player option for the final year of his contract with Miami. But on June 29, the Heat decided to hand him a two-year, $34 million extension, bringing his term to a three-year, $64 million contract with them overall. He will be getting $16.5 million in 2027-28 and will have the player-option season worth $17.5 million in 2028-29. This is a huge financial security for any player, especially in a team that is aggressively looking to reinvent itself at the cost of its roster.
Wiggins was a dependable starter and brought stability last season,which he needs to continue this year. Wiggins averaged 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.7 ****** ists per game across 68 appearances. Maintaining his distance from defense, the 31-year-old needs to focus on being a high-efficiency 3-and-D wing, a role that saw him shine last year. He knocked down two threes a game at a career-best 41.4% clip in 2025-26.
At his rate, he could surely increase his average and show improvement. For the upcoming season, Wiggins should get perimeter shooting help from Klay Thompson, who he was teammates with in Golden State.

Minnesota Vikings QB Carson Wentz went 12-for-19 for 133 yards, three touchdowns and no INTs in relief of QB Kyler Murray (concussion) during the Vikings' 39-22 comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, according to ESPN.com.
Why it Matters: Murray left in the first quarter with a concussion and may not make it back in time to face the Chicago Bears Sunday. Wentz took a beating, and he was helped out by several terrible penalties on Green Bay's defense. He still put the ball in the end zone, but it doesn't look sustainable. He's only a QB2 in superflex and two-QB leagues.

When Dua Lipa stepped out for Bulgari's Serpenti Infinito celebration in New York, her shimmering camisole top turned heads for its delicate straps and eye-catching embellishment. Following this highly anticipated appearance, designer Clio Peppiatt revealed exactly where that top came from, and it isn't even on shelves yet.
Dua Lipa's Bulgari event top is an unreleased piece from Clio Peppiatt's Cruise 27 collection. Peppiatt shared the reveal on her own Instagram, confirming Lipa wore a piece from the label's upcoming Cruise 27 collection. The striking ivory and gold camisole featured dense sequin and bead embellishment arranged in a soft floral pattern. The top was held up by the thinnest metallic spaghetti straps for an elegant look. The fitted, corset-style shape hugged Lipa's torso closely, with the embellishment catching the light with every step down the street.
Peppiatt captioned the reveal "a little glimpse of what's to come," crediting photographer Lorenzo Posocco for the images. In a follow-up post, she teased that the piece belongs to an "unreleased Cruise collection launching next month." This brief announcement gave excited fans an early look at the label's next drop ahead of its official release.
Lipa paired the sparkling top with tailored black wide-leg trousers for a sleek silhouette. This choice allowed the embellished camisole to remain the clear focal point of her entire outfit. She finished the look with a Bulgari Serpenti bracelet in 18-karat rose gold, a diamond and ruby choker, and matching stud earrings, all fitting given her role as a Bulgari ambassador.
Fans reacted quickly to Peppiatt's reveal, flooding the comments with fire emojis and calling the look "iconic." The designer is well known for creating hand-embellished and statement-making fashion pieces. She has increasingly become a red carpet favorite among pop stars seeking genuine texture and shine.

Kansas football's Civil War-themed hype video released ahead of Friday's Border War rivalry game against Missouri did not sit well with Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz.
The Tigers' seventh-year coach shared his thoughts on the video following his team's 38-21 victory over the Jayhawks at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium on Friday, Sept. 11 in Lawrence, Kansas. Missouri's victory marked the Tigers' fifth straight win in the rivalry series.
He went so far as to say he was "embarrassed" for the Jayhawks for posting the video.

TORRINGTON - Watching Nick Coleman and Kevin Leavitt run the ball for the Torrington football team in Friday night's season-opening 21-0 win over Kennedy, you might think they've been sharing the Raiders' backfield duties for ages, rather than being just the latest stars to shine in Torrington's single-wing galaxy.
When Coleman ran the ball - which he did 21 times for 160 yards and three touchdowns - there was Leavitt out ahead throwing a crisp block. When Leavitt ran the ball - which he did for 58 yards on 11 carries - there was Coleman doing the same.
They complemented each other as naturally as peanut **** er and jelly, Damon and Affleck, or - as their coach notes - thunder and lightning.
"We embrace (blocking)," said Coleman, a senior. "Single-wing offense, that's what it's about. There's no player above blocking, even if you're the quarterback, the tailback, whatever. You've got to go and make a block."
"I'd do anything for (Coleman). If I have to make a block, I'm doing whatever I can for him," Leavitt, a sophomore, said.

Here's an indisputable fact about semiconductor sector leader Nvidia (NVDA). It has massive coattails. One comment from CEO Jensen Huang and his leadership team can push a lot of momentum and investor interest. We've seen it with his remarks about Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) (calling it one of the "greatest companies in the history of humanity"), Meta Platforms (META) ("Nobody uses AI better than Meta"), and Nebius Group (NBIS) ("Nebius will take care of you").
Now the shine is on CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD), the cybersecurity company known for its cloud-native platform for endpoint security. At CrowdStrike's recent Fal.Con 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Huang said that CrowdStrike is Nvidia's top security partner.

Brock Purdy continues to prove doubters by exceeding his career expectations. And following the San Francisco 49ers' 2026 opener against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia on Thursday, he obtained another record to his collection.
Despite a slow start, Purdy had a great performance leading the offense. He completed 25 out of 34 passes for 205 yards and three touchdowns and one interception.
Purdy completed the 50th game of his career, including his 46th start. His passing accuracy has been remarkable, getting 68.1% of his throws to fellow receivers. This paved the way for him to make NFL history, via Real App.
When healthy, Purdy shines as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He was the final pick in the 2022 draft, adding more lore to his resume as a player that defied expectations and achieved remarkable success in the NFL.
