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.

GameStop (GME) is a Grapevine, Texas-based specialty retailer operating stores and e-commerce platforms under the GameStop, EB Games, and Micromania banners across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe. Once known primarily as a video game and electronics retailer, GameStop has diversified aggressively under Executive Chairman Ryan Cohen, expanding into collectibles, trading cards, pop culture merchandise, and even cryptocurrency and equity investments. The company has become a prominent "meme stock," attracting substantial retail investor attention while pursuing an unconventional capital allocation strategy that includes bitcoin holdings and a sizable equity stake in eBay (EBAY), positioning GameStop as much an investment vehicle as a traditional retailer.
GameStop stock recently traded around $21.15, near the bottom of its 52-week range of $17.79 to $28.10 and below its 200-day moving average. Shares have pulled back significantly from their 2025 meme-stock highs, weighed down by declining video game sales, ongoing store closures, and investor skepticism toward the company's diversification into digital ***** ets and equity investments. The stock did see brief bursts of retail-trader enthusiasm this year, including renewed meme-stock speculation tied to its proposed eBay acquisition, though shares have remained volatile and range-bound as GameStop's core retail business continues shrinking alongside its growing collectibles and investment segments.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky returned to the Senate to vote on Monday for the first time in three months, looking noticeably more frail after he was hospitalized for a June fall in his home.
McConnell's lengthy absence from the Senate generated a flood of criticism and online speculation, as he initially remained quiet for weeks about his condition. The 84-year-old senator eventually disclosed a month later that he had been "briefly unconscious" due to the fall and had also been treated for mild pneumonia in the hospital.
He briefly addressed reporters Monday from a wheelchair outside the Senate chamber, smiling but speaking slowly and with some difficulty. McConnell joked that he wasn't sure how many reporters would be there after dodging so many questions during his almost two decades as leader.
He said he was back in the Senate to work on a pending farm bill and because he has an ongoing interest in NATO and "backing up our good friends who are totally in the fight against the Russians."
Reporters and photographers were told by Senate staff not to take video of his remarks in the second-floor hallway, even though video is often permitted in that area. Still images were allowed.

The Detroit Lions may be doing more than simply monitoring the Joey Porter Jr. situation.
According to a new report from Jeff Risdon, Detroit has contacted the Pittsburgh Steelers about the veteran cornerback's availability, potentially turning weeks of speculation into something more tangible.
Risdon said he has been told from the Pittsburgh side that conversations between the teams have taken place.
"I can tell you that I know that the Lions have approached the Steelers," Risdon said on Monday. "I don't know how receptive the Steelers were. I don't know what the Lions offered, if anything. I know that they have talked. I got that from a reliable source from the Pittsburgh side. Will anything happen? I don't know."
That does not mean a trade is imminent. It does mean the Porter-to-Detroit idea may have moved beyond the purely hypothetical stage.

After matching tattoos and Kyle Richards starring as the love interest in Morgan Wade's music video, Richards has given fans another reason to talk about her longtime friendship with the country singer. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was recently spotted in a Polo hoodie that Wade has also worn. The sight immediately caught the attention of fans who closely follow the two women.
Richards, 57, arrived back in Los Angeles earlier this week in a gray Polo Ralph Lauren hoodie with the brand's signature bear. Fans quickly recognized the piece because Wade, 31, has previously worn a hoodie that looks exactly the same.
The clothing connection soon made its way onto X. One account posted side-by-side pictures of Richards and Wade wearing similar hoodies, writing, "Kyle arriving back to Los Angeles today. And if you recognise the hoodie? Well, not surprised."
While the sighting does not establish anything beyond the two women owning or wearing similar clothing, it has naturally attracted attention. Richards and Wade have been at the center of relationship speculation for years, making even small details involving the pair a talking point among fans.
There is also some history behind the matching wardrobe. Kyle Richards previously confirmed that she and Wade share clothes. During an August 2023 Amazon Live, she addressed fans' observations about their similar outfits. Richards said at the time, "We share clothes, you know?" She added, "I mean, I have a lot of friends that I share clothes with."

Long-running speculation over the future of Hain Celestial's business in Europe has finally come to a head with the disposal to a private-equity investor.
Nasdaq-listed Hain Celestial said in a statement today (14 September) it has agreed the sale of its "international" operations to Aurelius for $323m in cash.
The divestment follows a review of Hain Celestial's portfolio instigated by president and CEO Alison Lewis last year, which already resulted in the sale of its North American snacks business in 2026 to Canada's Snackruptors for $115m in cash.
That disposal included the brands Garden Veggie Snacks, Terra chips and Garden of Eatin'.
Ella's Kitchen baby and kids foods, the Joya and Natumi plant-based beverage lines and Hartley's jelly are joining Aurelius.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are elevating defensive back Doneiko Slaughter to the active roster, the team announced on Saturday. Slaughter had a tremendous training camp and preseason with Pittsburgh and was one of the final cuts before being placed on the practice squad.
The only player to appear on the Steelers' injury report this week has been cornerback Joey Porter Jr, who continues to work his way back after missing all of training camp and preseason play. Porter was placed on the PUP list at the start of camp due to what the team said was a back injury, but the speculation is that it was a hold-in under the guise of an injury.
The Steelers will begin their season at 1:00 EST against the Atlanta Falcons.

Sophie Cunningham is at the center of new boyfriend rumors, and fans have plenty to say about the WNBA star's reported love life!
Speculation surrounding the Indiana Fever guard's relationship status has been making the rounds online, with social media users weighing in on who could have captured her attention.
Cunningham, who has been making headlines since joining the WNBA, went viral on social media on Friday, August 11, when some fan pages posted pictures of her on a boat during the current WNBA break with someone they claimed to be her new boyfriend.
According to an account, Cunningham's new man is Frank Adams, the head athletic trainer at Grand Canyon University, who also works with the school's men's basketball program. As per The Sunday Guardian, the two were previously linked in March when fans noticed Adams in Cunningham's social media updates and at GCU events. While neither one has confirmed the relationship, the alleged couple's sightings have continued to fuel dating rumors.
In March, Cunningham's social media followers spotted a mystery man in the background of one of her selfies. Although the image did not clearly show his face, some eagle-eyed fans began suggesting that the man could be Adams.

3 burning Senators questions entering 2026-27 NHL season appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Ottawa Senators had a lot of change happen this offseason. It seemed as if things would operate as normal until a few days before the NHL Draft. Then, the Senators traded Brady Tkachuk in a stunning blockbuster deal with the Florida Panthers.
Tkachuk trade rumors weren't anything new, to be fair. There was once a midseason report about a trade to the New York Rangers that had to be shot down, for instance. What was different here was that there was no real speculation. It wasn't like the Dylan Larkin situation, where a trade was requested publicly.
But a trade was requested behind the scenes, and things were kept quiet until the trade went down. The Senators moved on from their captain and are officially entering a new era of their franchise. What that looks like remains to be seen for now.

Breakout loading. At least that's what the Dallas Cowboys hope after they inked tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford and receiver Ryan Flournoy to a pair of extensions this week. In a break from the norm, the Cowboys went out on a limb and played the speculation market. Channeling his inner oilman, owner Jerry Jones has put his money where his mouth is and bet big on breakouts.
In previous years, it was the Cowboys waiting until after a breakout was achieved before extensions were offered. Terence Steele was signed to a five-year, $82,500,000 deal after his breakout season in 2022. Jaylon Smith was regrettably signed to a five-year, $63,750,000 extension after his breakout season in 2018. And even Dak Prescott, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland got signed after already establishing themselves high among the NFL hierarchy.
It doesn't take Wallstreet stockbroker to know investing after something has already blown up has its drawbacks. Sure, seeing success insulates from risk, but it also means investors are buying high. Good deals are made through speculation. They come with risk since they're predictive rather than proven, but they also come at a much lower price and with a much higher upside.
After displaying significant growth in 2025, Flournoy has been a media and fan favorite to breakout in a big way this season. Signing a one-year, $6M extension, Flournoy retains his Cowboydom through the 2027 season. This is important because if George Pickens leaves after the current season, Flournoy ensures a level of continuity amongst the top receiver ranks.
Sources: The #cowboys and WR Ryan Flournoy have agreed to a 1-year contract extension worth up to $6M.
Flournoy is coming off a career year with 40 catches for 475 and 4 TDs. He’s expected to have an even bigger role in the offense this season as the solidified WR3 and now gets… pic.twitter.com/p04Q0S80A9

A leaked phone call that appears to feature Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her ex-husband, Ryan Anderson, has raised serious questions about a private conversation the former couple allegedly had while he was working at a school. The ****** ually suggestive audio appears to capture Blanchard and Anderson discussing whether he could participate in an intimate phone exchange from inside the building. Anderson has since pushed back against the speculation, insisting in a TikTok video that he "never" engaged in ****** ual activity at the school.
Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA
The audio, which has circulated on social media, begins with Anderson asking Blanchard what she is wearing, but she seemingly brushes off the question. "Oh fine, tomorrow," Anderson responds.
The former couple can then be heard giggling before Anderson appears to express concern about getting caught. "I wish; I don't want to get in trouble," he says.
Blanchard responds by suggesting he would be able to remain quiet. "If you didn't make a sound at your mom's, you're not gonna make a sound at school," she is heard saying.

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has dealt with a lot of trade rumors and highest-paid cornerback speculation over the past few months, but the real issue in contract talks is becoming more clear by the day.
According to PennLive's Nick Farabaugh, as well as Porter's own admission that he doesn't care about becoming the highest-paid corner, the contract negotiations are all about guaranteed money.
"Repeat after me -- It's not the AAV, it's the guarantees! (and always has been)," Farabaugh wrote via X.
So far this year, we've seen cornerbacks like Christian Gonzalez, Devon Witherspoon, and Trent McDuffie completely reset the cornerback market with deals surpassing $30 million per year. Their guaranteed money has been around 75% to 80% of their total contract value.
Previously, we at Steelers Wire predicted that Porter could sign a four-year, $128 million extension that pays him an average of $32 million per season with $101 million in guaranteed money. But it's evident the holdup is more related to the latter.

Meghan Markle could rethink her fashion choices as she settles into life in Britain, according to a style expert. Her UK return may bring a wardrobe that blends California ease with more practical British dressing. The ***** ss of Sussex spent six years in California, where her style embraced relaxed silhouettes, linen pieces, white hats, and casual accessories.
Lauren Bulla believes Meghan Markle's fashion could shift again, especially if she continues living in the Cotswolds. "As Meghan has lived in California for six years, it's expected her style would shift towards a Montecito vibe," Bulla told "GB News". She noted that Meghan embraced "more relaxed fits" and casual pieces during her time in California.
However, Bulla expects Meghan to bring some British influences back into her wardrobe. "We can also expect Meghan to adhere to harking back to British societal expectations with higher necklines and structured garments while still keeping with casual elements – wearing a pair of jeans and trainers."
The countryside could influence her choices too. Bulla predicts that Meghan may reach for wellies, trainers, trench coats, crossbody bags, and muted neutral patterns if the Cotswolds become her main base.
Meanwhile, autumn weather could push Meghan toward heavier fabrics. Bulla expects her to swap lightweight linen for weather-appropriate materials while mixing casual staples with polished tailoring. "There's a lot of speculation about what her style will be like back in the UK," Bulla said. The expert added, "There will likely be some playful looks as well as formal ones."

Patrick Mahomes sparks concern with awkward walk before Chiefs season opener originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Patrick Mahomes wanted to end the questions about his surgically repaired left knee. A brief moment after his latest press conference only created more of them. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback smiled as he left the podium Thursday and delivered a playful message to reporters.
"Hopefully I'm done with the questions about the leg," Mahomes said, according to a video shared by Ari Meirov.
Some fans focused less on the comment and more on the way Mahomes appeared to walk away. A second post highlighting the clip helped fuel speculation that the three-time Super Bowl MVP might have been favoring his injured leg.
The short video does not prove that Mahomes experienced a setback, and the Chiefs have not announced a new problem. It does, however, demonstrate how closely every movement will be watched when Mahomes returns Monday night against the Denver Broncos.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker are facing a new wave of speculation about their relationship and the future of their daughter, Aurora. A viral Instagram post, along with several YouTube videos, alleges that the couple has separated and that Urker may be preparing to pursue full custody of their child. The post also claims that Urker is refusing to communicate with Blanchard directly as tensions escalate behind the scenes. However, neither Blanchard nor Urker has confirmed a breakup or custody dispute. The social media account that circulated the claims also acknowledged that it had not found evidence of an actual custody filing.
The rumors were shared by the Instagram account audacious.audrey06, which posted a photograph of Ken Urker and Gypsy Rose Blanchard separated by a torn-paper effect and a broken heart emoji. "RUMORS ARE SWIRLING ABOUT GYPSY ROSE & KEN URKER," the caption began.
The social media account alleged that Blanchard and Urker had ended their relationship and claimed that Urker may be preparing to seek full custody of Aurora. According to the post, Urker is also allegedly refusing to communicate with Blanchard directly and will only speak to her through a third party.
The account did not identify the source behind the allegations or provide documentation supporting the custody claim, though several YouTube videos have also been posted, claiming the same information.

Sen. John Fetterman has faced a tide of public criticism from fellow Democrats as he stakes out lonely ground as a critic of the far-left wing of his party — and another wave rolled in Wednesday after he made a surprise video appearance at the Republican midterm convention.
So far, however, his Senate colleagues haven't joined the pile-on.
Democratic senators are staying above the fray as they work to flip the majority in November amid constant speculation that the 57-year-old Pennsylvanian could trigger a nightmare scenario by leaving the party and caucusing with the GOP.
Some have worked to publicly bat down suggestions that Fetterman could abandon Democrats for the final two years of his term — something he has denied considering, even as he continues to raise eyebrows with his outspoken support of Israel, bashing of democratic socialists and close relationships with Senate Republicans.
"John Fetterman is a friend and an important member of our caucus. It's a waste of energy to get spun up about his voting record or place in our party — he votes with us 90 percent of the time," Democratic Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont, who is close with Fetterman, said in a statement to POLITICO before the convention appearance. "We need a big tent if we're going to win in November."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's UK return could have a familiar royal figure at its center. An expert claims Princess Diana's legacy may help shape their re-entry into Britain. The timing has also prompted speculation about a possible project marking the 30th anniversary of Diana's death. However, one commentator has questioned the ethics of bringing the late princess into the couple's next chapter.
According to a discussion on "The Royalist" podcast, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could use Princess Diana's legacy to help reintroduce themselves to the British public. Host Tom Sykes was joined by Samara Gill, who discussed the timing of the couple's return and its possible connection to Diana.
Diana's 30th death anniversary is approaching in 2027. Against that backdrop, there has been speculation that the Sussexes may be working on a possible documentary focusing on the late princess. The project has also apparently been ******* ociated with Netflix. However, no documentary has been officially announced by Harry, Meghan, or the streaming platform.
For Gill, the potential project could serve a wider purpose. She claimed the couple may be looking to reconnect with the British public through Diana's enduring popularity. Gill said they could be "using Diana to relaunch" their return to the UK. She argued that the late princess remains someone "most people — the majority of the public — can get behind." By contrast, she claimed that Harry and Meghan face strong opposition from a large section of the British public.
From a public relations perspective, Gill acknowledged that the strategy could be effective. She described it as a "smart PR move." However, she also questioned the ethics of making Diana part of such a comeback. "Morally, I find it a little interesting, a little sticky and icky," Gill said. She added that the idea of using Diana in this way gave her "a bit of a sick feeling."

William Byron and Kylan Darnell just gave NASCAR fans something else to talk about
Kylan Darnell shared photos from the U.S. Open, where she and Byron attended Thursday's quarterfinals in New York.
And naturally, NASCAR fans noticed.
Byron has generally kept his personal life private, which makes the public appearances with Darnell particularly interesting.
The two have already sparked plenty of speculation this summer, and another public outing is only going to fuel it.

Former LSU center Kate Koval has been granted a waiver by the NCAA to enter the transfer portal. The junior will be immediately eligible to compete for her next school, according to several reports.
The 6-foot-5 Ukrainian native decided to leave the LSU program two weeks ago for what was announced as "personal reasons." Speculation followed that Koval's decision was spurred by LSU coach Kim Mulkey adding Russian center Anna Minaeva to the roster.
Koval confirmed that was her reason for leaving LSU in a social media post.
"At the conclusion of last season, I fully intended to return and continue my collegiate career at LSU," Koval wrote. "However, in April, several days after the transfer portal had closed, I was informed of the decision to sign a Russian player."
"My father serves in the Ukrainian military and takes tremendous pride in defending his country against Russian aggression," she continued. "For me, this war is not distant or abstract. People close to me have been killed and wounded in Russian attacks, and places where I grew up and first began playing basketball have been destroyed by missile strikes."

Trigger Warning: ***** ual ***** ault
Diddy secured a significant legal victory in his defamation case against lawyer Ariel Mitchell and her client Courtney Burgess. Burgess made explosive claims about the music mogul, alleging that he had videos showing Diddy ***** ually ***** aulting minors and celebrities.
Mitchell asked the court to dismiss Diddy's lawsuit, but US District Judge John Cronan has declined to do so. The court ruled that her arguments were not strong enough to warrant ending the case. In a September 4 order, the judge stated that claims alleging Diddy ***** ually ***** aulted people and secretly recorded ***** ual partners have "precise meanings that are readily understood," reports TMZ.
Diddy filed the defamation lawsuit on January 22, 2025. The case was brought in a New York federal court and initially sought $50 million in damages. Later, the amount was increased to $100 million. The lawsuit also named NewsNation's parent company, Nexstar Media. Diddy accused them of promoting "outlandish claims" and "baseless speculation." He claimed the statements were designed to satisfy the public's desire for "wild lies."
Mitchell previously spoke to the outlet about the matter, saying, "This is just a pathetic ploy to silence victims and people who stand up for victims. Diddy has time to sue but refuses to accept service for the lawsuits already filed against him. I look forward to countersuing and ensuring the court punishes not only Diddy but also his lawyers who filed this pathetic lawsuit for this frivolous and meritless filing."
Combs is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence after facing charges of ***** trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. A court hearing to determine the next steps in the case is scheduled for September 17.

Quinn Hughes says he feels "at peace" amid speculation about his contract with the Wild.
At the NHL's North American Media Tour in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Hughes told the ******* embled press that he "didn't feel backed up against a wall" as the Wild aim to sign him to a long-term extension.
Following last season's playoff exit, Hughes mentioned his openness to re-signing with the organization that gave up a haul to acquire him from Vancouver last December. Yet, with less than a month before the season gets underway, Hughes remains without an extension heading into the final year of his contract.
In a podcast with league insider Elliotte Friedman that dropped on Thursday, Hughes provided even more insights into his thought process and certainly gave Wild fans hope of a long-term future in Minnesota.
"I mean, to be honest, I'm not thinking too much," Hughes said. "I'm excited to go to camp. I loved my season, my time in Minnesota last year."

Braxton Berrios has reportedly been spotted around New York City several times with Portuguese actress and model Magui Corceiro, creating an unexpected new connection between two sets of exes.
The sightings surfaced over Labor Day weekend, with footage circulating online and two additional anonymous accounts placing Berrios and Corceiro together at New York restaurants.
Netflix released Earle Meets World on Sept. 4, and the season finale ends with Alix Earle calling Berrios to find out whether he still believes there is no chance of them getting back together after their December 2025 breakup.
Earle, meanwhile, was linked over the summer to Corceiro's former boyfriend, Formula 1 champion Lando Norris. Earle and Norris never publicly confirmed a relationship, making the latest Berrios-Corceiro speculation another unresolved piece of an increasingly tangled dating timeline.
An Instagram video circulated by F1 Gossip Official appeared to show Berrios and Corceiro spending time together in New York. Just Jared reported that two more sightings were submitted to celebrity-gossip account DeuxMoi.

Michigan rumors: Bryce Underwood spin emerges as he fights for job appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood struggled heavily in the first game of the season agaisnt Western Michigan. This has led to speculation that Underwood is potentially fighting for his job.
While much of the college football media is focused on the Hail Mary against Western Michigan, the storyline of the Oklahoma game will be the play of Underwood, according to Pete Nakos of On3.
"Despite the Week 1 highlight-reel Hail Mary that pulled off the win, Underwood's performance has been scrutinized in the ensuing days. He finished 12 of 22 for 170 yards with an interception. The Michigan offense sputtered after a 75-yard opening drive," Nakos wrote. "Sources have told On3 that Underwood had a strong end of fall camp, putting together some of his best practices yet as a Wolverine. That didn't show Saturday, but as sources pointed out, it was his first game with new offensive coordinator Jason Beck. The 19-year-old quarterback is working on building up confidence in the new system."
