Jennifer Lawrence has addressed her comments about Kourtney Kardashian. The actress previously called Kourtney "more annoying than ever" during a Vanity Fair lie detector test. Kourtney later shared details about Lawrence's apology on the Season 8 premiere of The Kardashians.
During the Vanity Fair segment, Lawrence discussed her favorite Kardashian sisters. She picked Khloé Kardashian before criticizing Kourtney for announcing personal lifestyle choices. "She drives me nuts," Lawrence said, adding that Kourtney should "just shh!"
Kourtney addressed the comments while talking to her friend Simon Huck on the reality series. She explained that the remarks affected her more because she was having a "really sensitive week." She said, "I felt like our show was airing and everybody was ganging up on me." However, when Kourtney later watched the full clip, she admitted, "Oh, it's not that bad actually."
Lawrence addressed the situation privately rather than continuing the exchange publicly. She reached out through Kim to get Kourtney's email and sent her a message explaining how she felt about the Kardashian family. Kourtney said the actress wrote, "I just feel like I'm one of your sisters."
She appreciated the gesture, but did not reply as she had only seen the message late the previous night. While discussing it with Huck, Kourtney said, "She asked Kim for my email, and then she sent me that email, which is so nice." However, Kardashian joked about sending Lawrence a fun response, "Do I say something funny?"

Kourtney Kardashian has responded to Jennifer Lawrence publicly calling her "more annoying than ever".
In the season eight premiere of The Kardashians, the 47-year-old revealed that The Hunger Games actress sent her an email after calling her "more annoying than ever" during the Vanity Fair lie detector test in November 2025.
"She's like, 'I just feel like I'm one of your sisters,'" Kourtney told her friend Simon Huck in the episode, which aired on Thursday. "And when I rewatched it, I was like, 'Oh, it's not that bad actually.'"
"She asked (sister) Kim (Kardashian) for my email, and then she sent me that email, which is so nice. I saw it late last night, so I have not responded. I mean, do I say something funny? Like, 'You can come over and I'll beat your f**king a*s?'"
Referring to her infamous physical fight with Kim on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2020, Kourtney quipped, "I'll just say, next time you wanna come over, we can go at it - Kourtney and Kim style."
The Lemme founder noted that she was having "a really sensitive week" and felt everyone was "ganging up" on her when Jennifer sent the email.

Louis Vuitton presented its Spring 2027 collection, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, at the Cour Carrée du Louvre in Paris, and as always, I noticed a few trends in the front row.
Emma Stone and Ana de Armas tend to play it relatively safe with their Louis Vuitton front row looks, so both were welcome surprises. Emma's electric-blue tailoring had a stronger silhouette than we usually see from her, while Ana went tougher in black leather with cut-outs and buckled detailing. Two welcome changes of pace. Did either woman pull her look off for you?
The front row had plenty of New York representation, with Jennifer Connelly joining Keri Russell, Chloë Sevigny and the Haim sisters.
There's a lot going on with Jennifer Connelly's look, including some seriously divisive lace-up boots, but on Jennifer it works. It always works. She has never played it safe with Louis Vuitton, and I don't ever want her to.
Keri Russell will always serve up a sophisticated, sculptural point of view, and she found the perfect Louis Vuitton look. The only thing not working for me is the monogram bag. I wish it had been black.

Neymar Jr. has found a playmate who isn't shy about posing, and it is none other than his toddler daughter. The Brazilian footballer marked his little girl Mavie's birthday with a set of photos, and the little one clearly joined in the fun. There are pouts, wide eyes, and smiles all around as the father-daughter pair have fun. A heartfelt message came with the pictures, and it shows what being a girl dad means to the star footballer.
Neymar Jr. posted the carousel on Instagram to mark his daughter Mavie's third birthday on 6 October. The first image is a sweet portrait where the toddler crawls on a wooden floor and beams at the camera. She wears a simple black top with white stripes and jeans.
Things get livelier in the second photo. Father and daughter pose in front of an arched mirror at a pink dressing table. Mavie, her hair falling in soft curls, holds a makeup brush while her father takes the mirror selfie. The last two pictures are adorably comic. Mavie and Neymar are in frame in pink and black T-shirts, respectively. In one shot, she and her dad pout in unison, and in the next, both stare wide-eyed with their mouths open, making funny faces together.
The caption was written in Portuguese, and a translation shows how personal it is for the 34-year-old footballer. Neymar credits Mavie for helping him become a better father, not only to her but to her brothers and sisters. He adds that he always wanted a daughter and knew he would love the experience. He goes on to note that her smile, especially in her eyes, brightens his day. Neymar finishes his tribute to his daughter by promising to be her safe haven every day.
Mavie is one of Neymar Jr.'s four children. He has a son, Davi Lucca, with Carolina Dantas, while Mavie and Mel are his daughters with Bruna Biancardi. He also shares his daughter Helena with Amanda Kimberlly. In June, Neymar and Biancardi announced that they were expecting their third daughter together and Neymar's fifth child. The baby, whom they plan to name Mariah, will join Mavie and Mel.

A TikTok posted by creator eriniveson on July 14, 2026, shows her describing punishments she says her parents used during her childhood. The video drew over 8.7 million views and about 1.1 million likes at the time of publication.
The creator, who grew up with her mother and stepdad, begins with a trigger warning before describing what she calls "completely legal things" her parents did. "The things that I'm gonna tell you in this video are just downright cruel," she said.
She said that when something broke and no one confessed, the siblings lined up, and whoever was responsible took the punishment while the others watched. The TikToker said she often took the blame for her younger sisters so they would not get in trouble. She recalls that her stepdad usually did not carry out the corporal punishment himself, but had her mother do it when she was home and stood by to supervise.
She said her room was searched regularly. "Privacy was a privilege, not a right," she said. After her stepbrother lost $5, her parents believed she had taken it, emptied her drawers onto the floor, and made her clean up.
Even doing chores had strict rules. "Do it right or do it twice," the creator remembered. She put away dishes that had spots from the dishwasher, so her mother, who collected antique china, emptied every cabinet and buffet, and the TikToker said she had to hand-wash and dry all of it.

The Venice Film Festival may revolve around cinema, but fashion has become an essential part of its annual spectacle. The 2026 edition once again transformed the Lido into a showcase for couture, sharp tailoring and unexpected styling. Stars moved between timeless black gowns, shimmering embellishments, relaxed suits and bursts of bright color. Some relied on archival fashion, while others arrived in custom creations designed specifically for the occasion. Together, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amal Clooney, Rooney and Kate Mara, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse and Pamela Anderson demonstrated just how varied festival dressing can be.
Jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal established a sophisticated tone with several dramatic black looks. For the opening, she selected an all black Celine ensemble featuring an off the shoulder twisted bodice. Another memorable appearance came in archival Armani Privé from the Fall 2015 collection. Rich velvet, sharply sculpted shoulders and crystal detailing around the plunging neckline gave the older design a fresh presence on the carpet.
Amal Clooney also embraced black with a custom Tom Ford creation by Haider Ackermann. Her appearance demonstrated the continuing appeal of streamlined eveningwear, with careful construction and texture doing much of the visual work. Rather than competing with the surroundings through excessive decoration, the gown relied on an elegant silhouette and refined details.
Sisters Rooney and Kate Mara offered two very different interpretations of evening glamour while promoting Bucking Fastard. Rooney remained close to her famously minimalist aesthetic in a black satin Louis Vuitton dress. A sleek fitted upper section expanded dramatically near the hem through gathers and voluminous fabric. Kate moved in the opposite direction with Armani Privé, choosing a black and white gown featuring a sparkling skirt and pearl embellished bodice.
Menswear also provided a change of pace. Robert Pattinson appeared in a relaxed white pinstripe suit while promoting Primetime, pairing it with a crisp shirt and striped tie. The slightly oversized proportions gave traditional tailoring a lighter feeling suited to Venice. Suki Waterhouse accompanied him in a pale green Saint Laurent lace two piece, bringing a softer color and delicate texture to the event.

Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton enjoyed a rare sisters' night out at the Elie Saab show during Paris Fashion Week on October 3.
Paris turned heads in a sheer black lace evening gown and high-waisted underwear. Joining her on the red carpet, Nicky stunned in a sequin floral blazer and a gold skirt with beaded, fringe detailing.
The Hilton sisters' PFW moment comes less than a week after they matched in liquid silver ensembles dripping in glitter at the 2026 VMAs on September 27.
As kids, Paris Hilton, 45, and Nicky Hilton Rothschild, 42, were practically twins when it came to their wardrobes. The sisters, who are only two and a half years apart, have since adopted opposing—and iconic—individual aesthetics. One thing the Hilton sisters agree on when it comes to fashion, however, is that sequins and glitter are the ultimate red carpet accessories.

A newlywed groom is in less hot water than you'd think after saying the name of his new bride's sister at the altar by mistake.
On Sunday, September 20, TikTok user emmagraceshay posted a cringe-worthy video from her wedding day in which her now-husband is vowing to take his new bride in sickness and in health, only to make a pretty legendary gaffe.
During the moment, he calls his wife "Emily Grace Pumfrey," forcing her to quickly correct him because her name is actually Emma. While it's not exactly a difficult slip-up to go from "Emma" to "Emily," even in a high-stakes moment like a wedding, the caption of the video reveals the most shocking part of the whole ordeal.
"Plot twist: It's my sisters name. Still not over being called Emily at the altar," Emma wrote.
Since posting the video, it has gained millions of views and plenty of opinions from people who watched it, with many saying they would have stopped the entire wedding and dumped the man right then and there. Meanwhile, others note the good humor with which the bride took the blunder, as she's seen in the video laughing as she corrects her fiancé.

The two young women were also quick to condemn the actions of their oldest brother Josh and praise the jury members who convicted him on child **** charges following his 2021 trial. He remains behind bars.

The Kardashian family has become deeply intertwined with sports. One of the younger sisters, Kendall Jenner, was featured in a viral Super Bowl ad this year, and another, and Kim Kardashian, arguably the face of the family, has been romantically linked to athletes such as NBA player Kris Humphries, as well as NFL stars Reggie Bush and Odell Beckham Jr, and is currently dating F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton.
Now, Kardashian is deepening her inroads in the sports community, as she'll be an executive producer for Team Moms: Baseball, a reality TV series focusing on the parents of the Legendary Preps Academy baseball team in Scottsdale, Arizona.
"These families are passionate, competitive, and completely all in when it comes to their kids—and sometimes what happens in the stands is just as intense as what happens on the field," Kardashian and executive producer Natalie Ento said of the show, per Deadline. "That's what makes Team Moms: Baseball so much fun to watch."
On Wednesday, the first trailer for the show was released.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, the trailer and Kardashian's involvement in the show didn't debut to rave reviews.

Dolly Parton's death from an undisclosed type of cancer on August 25 at the age of 80 shocked her fans around the globe. Now, nearly a month later, her younger sister Stella Parton is opening up about the last thing Dolly said to her.
The two sisters spoke every Tuesday over coffee. In a candid interview with CBS Mornings' Gayle King, Stella revealed, "That's the last thing Dolly asked me for, was prayer." While she didn't say much more about their final conversation, she did open up to King, sharing her thoughts on Dolly's state of mind during the queen of country's last few weeks.
"I know she was at peace. Because I could always tell by looking at her face, even if I hadn't seen her in months. On camera, I could tell if she was hurt, angry, happy, or sad, or felt bad. I could see it on her. She's my sister, you know, and we were very close as a family. She knew where she was going. She wasn't going anywhere bad. She was going to be with mama and daddy."
CBS Mornings posted clips from the emotional interview on Instagram early on Thursday. Parton's fans (both Dolly's and Stella's) flocked to the video, sharing their thoughts, memories, and praise for both sisters.

Going on two weeks after her death, the world continues to mourn the loss of Dolly Parton and celebrate her life. And so does her family.
"The whole world is grieving. And we're all crying for Dolly and we all miss her," Dolly's younger sister Freida Parton told Knox News, part of the USA TODAY Network, during a phone interview Sept. 3.
"But no one misses her more than her own sisters and brother and nieces and nephews and cousins and all of us. And we will always miss her, but we will always remember all the things that she taught us all," Freida continued.
Dolly was not just a global superstar to Freida. She was her "Dolly Momma," and Freida remembers her a little differently than the world beyond Tennessee.

Serena and Venus Williams will take the court in Arthur Ashe Stadium Friday night at the U.S. Open.
The sisters will kick off the night session against No. 14 seeds Maya Joint and H.C. Chan in women's doubles. The match will air on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. ET.
Ironically, Williams also faced Joint, the 20-year-old Australian, in her return to the singles court at Wimbledon after nearly four years off, losing in the first round 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-3.
The Williams sisters have played doubles together at the U.S. Open nine times (1997, '99, 2000-01, '09, '12-14, '22), going 27-7 and winning both the 1999 and 2009 ******* les.
Serena played in the U.S. Open's Mixed Doubles Championship last week with Carlos Alcaraz, reaching the quarterfinals. She did not play singles, but Venus did and lost in the first round to fellow American Sofia Kenin.

Travis Kelce has shared details about his "magical" wedding to Taylor Swift.
The American football player opened up about their nuptials on the latest New Heights podcast episode, released on Wednesday.
Flashing a glimpse of his new gold wedding ring, Travis told his brother Jason Kelce, "At this point, we're what, over a month out? It's been so much fun. I wish it could've lasted even longer than it did; it felt like it just happened in the blink of an eye."
It's been nearly two months since he and the Shake It Off singer tied the knot at Madison Square Garden on 3 July. The ceremony, officiated by Adam Sandler, saw the pop star and Kansas City Chiefs player say I do in front of 1,000 guests.
"It's a night out we'll never forget," Travis continued. "Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up, from the vows to just seeing everyone, to how much fun we had, throughout the entire evening and hearing that kind of be relayed through everybody's stories of the night. And it was just so magical, man."
The star-studded guest list included Brad Pitt, Paul McCartney, Lena Dunham, Ed Sheeran, the Haim sisters, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, Dakota Johnson, and Sabrina Carpenter, among many more famous names.

NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams is getting back on the court against Maya Joint — this time with sister Venus by her side.
The Williams sisters were drawn Tuesday to face the team of Hao-Ching Chan and Joint, who beat Serena at Wimbledon this summer, in their opening women's doubles match at the U.S. Open.
Serena Williams, 44, returned this year after four years out of action and lost to Joint, a 20-year-old from Australia, 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3. She injured her knee in the match and had to pull out of her planned doubles match at the All England Club with Venus, 46.
But they are set to compete at the U.S. Open, where the Williams sisters won the ****** le in 1999 and 2009 and are 27-7 in their nine appearances. They last played in 2022, losing in the first round in what was expected to be Serena's final match in Flushing Meadows.
Joint and Chan are the No. 14-seeded team.

There is always a winner in any major global oil crisis. In 1973/74, it was Saudi Arabia and its OPEC brothers who shifted the balance of power in the market away from the previous arrangement dominated by the West's 'Seven Sisters' to the oil producers of the Middle East. After the 2014-2016 Oil Price War, it was the U.S. whose earlier nascent shale oil sector resisted the threat to its very existence from Saudi Arabia and OPEC, reorganising into a meaner, leaner, lower-cost oil production machine. The U.S. was the winner again in the short-lived 2020 Oil Price War, and this, along with all the other major crises mentioned, is ****** ysed in full in my latest book on the global oil markets. The latest rupture in the global oil market order that followed the U.S.'s 'Operation Epic Fury' against Iran that began on 28 February has also produced a clear winner. It is neither the U.S., Saudi Arabia, nor the other OPEC states -- it is China. So, how inclined will Beijing be to heed Washington's newly announced sanctions on Iran ahead of the meeting of its President Xi Jinping with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump on 24 September at the White House?
The sanctions in question were announced on 20 August by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who stated they would be "the toughest sanctions in history" on Iran, under the umbrella of 'Economic D-Day' for the country. The direct sanctions on Iran aim for the complete financial isolation and economic shutdown of the regime by cutting off all domestic and international revenue streams. To this end, the U.S. Treasury blacklisted five core sectors of Iran's economy -- Digital ****** ets/Crypto, Technology, Gold, Aviation, and Shipping -- making any business operating within them subject to immediate ****** et freezes. At the same time, all longstanding humanitarian, academic, athletic, and personal remittance exemptions were indefinitely suspended, including a complete ban on non-commercial family money transfers and joint research collaborations. In parallel with this, the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) and commercial aviation fleets were put under a strict operational embargo, cutting off access to foreign ports, refuelling, and aircraft spare parts. Immediate ****** et freezes were also levied against procurement networks, cyber warfare units, and business syndicates tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

In tandem with this, the U.S. Treasury, along with sister organisations, will fully utilise secondary sanctions to force foreign governments and companies to choose between trading with Iran or trading with the U.S., under the umbrella of 'Operation Economic Outcast'. This aims to target the complete financial isolation of Tehran by cutting off its remaining economic lifelines. To that end, the U.S. Treasury has already blacklisted nearly 60 entities, individuals, and vessels, focusing heavily on thir

HENDERSON, Nev. — According to Little League Baseball, there are more than two million boys and girls from 80 countries playing Little League.
The odds of making it to the championship game of the Little League World Series is approximately 1 percent.
So here's to the 1 percenters, the Paseo Verde Little League of Henderson, Nevada, which defied the odds and made it to the final game of the season in South Williamsport, Pa. Sunday afternoon.
That Paseo Verde was defeated 11-2 by Curaçao shouldn't diminish the accomplishments of the boys and girl that started this improbable journey almost a month ago when it won its District tournament. It would win the Nevada state tourney, then go on and win the Mountain Regional, which is why you saw them in those gold and red uniforms with the lower case "M' on their caps at Lamade Stadium.
And this team was undefeated throughout and even had a 2-0 lead over Curaçao, an island nation of just over 185,000 that loves its baseball. You can see it in the exuberance displayed by its Little Leaguers on the field. They love to play the game as much as our kids from Henderson.
And if you were watching, how could you not marvel at the skill of these teams? So well schooled in fundamentals. So impressive in their mechanics and their IQ of the game. It's nice that elements like laying down a bunt, hitting a cutoff person and understanding the strike zone is not beyond the grasp of an 11- or 12-year-old. Paseo Verde turned six double plays in the LLWS.
Of course, it takes a village, as they say, to pull something like this off. In Little League, everyone is a volunteer. If you've had a kid play, you know the drill. Dads help prepare the fields before coaching. Moms man the snack shack and sit behind home plate keeping score. Grandparents, aunts and uncles keep an eye on the younger brothers and sisters. It's all about the kids, which is as it should be.
Every year, we read stories in the paper or watch a segment on local television of how the parents of the teams in Williamsport have been away from home for weeks, how they've had to take time off from work, how someone has to keep an eye on the house, arrange to get the mail, take care of the family pet. And it's the truth. There's a great deal of sacrifice involved to be part of a kid's summer baseball experience.
Same for the managers and coaches. They have families too and for them, it's no different than their players. Which is why when it ends, it's pretty painful emotionally speaking because you've invested so much in order to try and take it the distance.
But we know kids are resilient. As they return home to Southern Nevada, they'll do so as celebrities, be it at their school, their church or their neighborhood. There's probably going to be a parade for the Paseo Verde team, the United States Little League champions, and it figures to be a fun time. They'll carry memories of this amazing experience that will last a lifetime and 10, 20,
