A-listers including Claire Danes, Noah Wyle and Kaley Cuoco stepped out to one of the hottest parties ahead of the Emmys: The Motion Picture & Television Fund's big, star-studded bash to raise funds and awareness for the organization.
The party, which was co-hosted by PEOPLE, took place at Pacific Design Center on September 13, 2026 in West Hollywood; it was the 20th annual event, held to raise money for the MPTF organization, which supports members of the entertainment industry in need. Stars from some of the biggest and most Emmy nominated shows on TV, including The Pitt, The Gilded Age, Abbott Elementary and Pluribus, mixed and mingled (and, in some cases, gave us an ER reunion that melted our hearts).

It wasn't as smooth sailing as they maybe would have liked, but in the end, Provo got the win over Mountain View in four sets 25-17, 25-26, 26-28, and 25-19 Tuesday night.
Provo has made easy work of its opponents so far this season coming into its game against Mountain View. Prior to this matchup, Provo had yet to drop a single set, and it looked like the Bulldogs were on their way once again to a quick, sweeping victory.
Looking in complete control after the first two sets, Provo showed some vulnerability in the 3rd set, giving Mountain View a window of hope that it took advantage of.
Provo bounced back quite nicely after dropping its first set of season and had no problem seeing the match out.
"They were calm and composed in the 4th and did a really good job. We have really good leadership on our team. A lot of really good seniors, and so, yeah, we just need to take care of business on our side," said Provo head coach Stefanie Magalei.

Junior midfielder Landis Canada led the way with her first collegiate brace, while Missouri's freshmen class continued to impress across the board.

The ball bounced around the box in the resulting calamity from a corner kick, and Canada finished it comfortably — finding her first goal of the season.
Freshman Lana Adams doubled the Tigers' lead in the 66th minute. She found her first collegiate goal by dancing around several Huskies defenders before rocketing the ball into the back of the net from 20 yards out. This broke the seal for the Tigers and allowed them to find their rhythm in front of the goal.

They continued this momentum when, just moments later, Canada found her second goal of the affair, knocking in a header from a corner kick in the 67th minute. The single-game brace matches her total goals in her collegiate career thus far.

HAVANA, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Gasoline at $38 a gallon sold from cramped apartments. Diesel hawked on Instagram by a celebrity model to a reggaeton soundtrack. Six decades after Fidel Castro's revolution, all of a sudden, capitalist cracks are appearing in Cuba's communist energy sector.
Under Washington's crippling oil embargo against Cuba, an exception that allows U.S. firms to export fuel to private Cuban businesses has kickstarted a chaotic black market and pried the lid off an energy sector tightly controlled by the state ever since Dwight Eisenhower ‌was in the White House.
Oil shipments from Cuba's traditional suppliers Venezuela and Mexico ended abruptly after the U.S. ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January. U.S. Coast Guard cutters patrol the waters off Cuba, while sanctions and threats have dissuaded tankers from even setting sail.
The embargo has hobbled essential ‌state-run services like the healthcare system, public transport and schools. But under the Commerce Department exception, a trickle of gasoline and diesel is reaching private restaurants, retailers and taxis, the first significant landings of U.S. fuel on the Caribbean island since Castro nationalized refineries after the 1959 revolution.

KYIV, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Olha Stefanishyna, dismissed as Ukraine's ambassador to the ‌U.S. earlier this week, is suspected ‌of illegal enrichment and failing to declare ****** ets, authorities said on Thursday, the latest high-ranking official targeted in an anti-graft probe.
Prosecutors said Stefanishyna, who served as a deputy prime ‌minister before being ⁠appointed ambassador, concealed two apartments and other ****** ets worth about $310,000 in ⁠total that could not have been acquired on her official salary alone.
Authorities did not identify Stefanishyna by name, in line with ‌Ukrainian law, but referred to the position she held when the alleged offences took place, from early 2024 to mid-2025.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, she denied ‌wrongdoing and said she has never had anything to hide.
Her dismissal comes amid a recent shake-up ‌of senior officials, including the prime minister and defence minister, that has unsettled Ukraine's political establishment.

MEXICO CITY, June 23 (Reuters) - In Mexico, World Cup fever has spread to pets. From Chihuahuas to Chow Chows, hamsters to horses, and of course Merlin the duck, ‌Mexicans are dressing their furry — or feathered — friends in the colours of the national team.
In markets ‌across the capital, vendors sell pet soccer jerseys from knock-off brands like "Adidog" for owners looking to extend the support base of national soccer team "El Tri" to fans with four legs.

"She's part of the family," Cruz said of Cookie, showing a photo ‌on her phone of the dog ⁠that had been left at home due to the market crowds.
