Exes Tarek El Moussa and Christina Haack got some backlash after surprising daughter Taylor with a $150,000 BMW X5 M ahead of her 16th birthday. Now, Tarek, 45, and wife Heather El Moussa have revealed why the trio splurged on the lavish gift.
"Well, it turns out, as a father, when your daughter kicks [expletive], gets a 4.2 GPA, is MVP of the soccer team, you really want to surprise her," the HGTV star explained to E! at the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards in New York on October 6. "So, dad, stepmom, mom, we all surprised her."
"She's a good girl. She deserves it. She works really hard," added Heather, 39.
"She's the best kid. She didn't ask for it. We gave it to her. There's a big difference," Tarek continued, as the Selling Sunset star said the teen was "very grateful" and "cried" upon receiving the pricey present.

Chrishell Stause was left unimpressed with her ex-boyfriend Jason Oppenheim's enthusiastic praise of Elon Musk's Tesla technology.
The "Selling Sunset" star mocked Oppenheim for praising Tesla and announcing plans to get vehicles with Full Self-Driving technology for his employees.
OK! Magazine reported that Oppenheim recently shared a video of himself using Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology during a commute from Newport Beach to The Oppenheim Group's Los Angeles office. Oppenheim praised the technology, saying that the 1-hour, 15-minute commute would be a breeze. He claimed that the car would drive itself and stop at his office parking lot without him needing to touch the steering wheel.
"This is the most important video that I've ever posted," Oppenheim began. He praised the technology as "so safe" and explained why he had decided to part ways with his Bentley.
"I have no need for it. I'm not going to drive it," he said. "I'm going to be getting self-driven around from here on out," he added.

NBC4's helicopter was one of several news aircraft flying over the scene of a deadly bus crash in Chatsworth Tuesday evening at sunset.
It's common for multiple news choppers to arrive at the scene of breaking news, beaming live images for newscasts and streaming.
But around 7 p.m., something went horribly wrong and in a matter of seconds the NBC4 chopper dropped out of the sky, crashing into shipping containers and vehicles outside a warehouse a few blocks away, bursting into flames. Two station journalists, reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, were killed along with a bystander on the ground.
Federal investigators are now trying to figure out what went wrong. The Times interviewed several experts, who reviewed recordings of the chopper's final moments. They offered insights into the helicopter itself, its movements that afternoon and what is known about how its mechanics work.
Here's what they had to say:

ONE Championship is back with another captivating triple-header weekend, and it all gets started with two Muay Thai showcases in The Inner Circle 30 and ONE Friday Fights 170.
The world's largest martial arts organization will broadcast The Inner Circle 30 and ONE Friday Fights 170 live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, September 11.
In the main event of The Inner Circle 30, leading contender Yod-IQ Or Pimolsri will collide with former ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Rambolek Chor Ajalaboon for a chance to claim the gold. However, since Rambolek failed to make weight for the contest, he is not eligible to win the belt.
Plus, Seksan Or Kwanmuang will make his last walk to the ring before he rides off into the sunset. In his retirement match, the bantamweight Muay Thai star will face longtime rival "Elbow Zombie" Muangthai PK Saenchai for the sixth, and final, time.
Then later, in the headline attraction of ONE Friday Fights 170, Yodlekpet "The Destroyer" Or Atchariya and Pompet Pongsuphan PK will look to settle their unfinished business in a flyweight Muay Thai trilogy.

"Selling Sunset" star Christine Quinn's husband, Christian Dumontet, has listed the sprawling Los Angeles home the former couple once shared as their contentious divorce battle continues.
Dumontet filed for divorce from the real estate agent—who is set to make her return to the Netflix reality series—in April 2024, after he was arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident. He was later detained for allegedly violating a temporary restraining order requiring him to stay away from the property.
The tech entrepreneur purchased the home for $5 million in 2019, the same year he and Quinn tied the knot in an extravagant Gothic-themed wedding.
However, their relationship ultimately unraveled, with the pair calling it quits in 2024.
Amid their ongoing divorce proceedings, Dumontet asked a judge to grant him exclusive control of the Los Angeles property so he could put it on the market. He argued that he purchased the residence before the couple married and had continued covering its mortgage, taxes, and insurance.

Renée Zellweger rarely puts her private life on display, but Ant Anstead's latest family post includes several new glimpses of the actress with his youngest son.
Anstead celebrated Hudson's 7th birthday with a collection of photographs and videos from his son's life. Several feature Zellweger, including a clip of the Oscar winner and Hudson running barefoot along the beach at sunset, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Another photograph shows all three dressed up together, with Zellweger holding Hudson while wearing an orange lei, a small red top hat and pink rhinestone sunglasses. Anstead stands beside them in another lei while Hudson wears a decorated yellow crown.
Zellweger and Anstead marked five years together in April after meeting while filming Celebrity IOU: Joyride in 2021. Zellweger has spoken only occasionally about their home life, but she gave a direct explanation last year for living in Southern California near San Diego: "Because that's where my fellow lives, and his little boy."
Anstead posted the birthday collection on September 6, the day Hudson turned 7. The montage moves through different years of his childhood, with Zellweger appearing in several of the memories rather than only one group photograph.

"There's nothing like an Irish family."
Katie Taylor addressed the Croke Park crowd as she paid tribute to her mother Bridget, but her extended family of 83,000 inside Croke Park and many more tuning in will have known this one was for them too.
Fairytale endings in boxing are a rarity, but Taylor is no ordinary fighter and her swansong proved as extraordinary as the fighter and person.
After 30 years lacing up the gloves, Taylor, 40, sails off into the sunset after the most perfect of farewells in front of 83,000 adoring fans at Dublin's iconic Croke Park, just three miles from the scene of her first official bout 25 years earlier.
The final act in the ring was to sweep past Flora Pili to cement her legacy in Ireland and beyond, bowing out as a three-time and two-weight undisputed champion.

#taylor #croke #park #bridget

Some of the biggest names in women's boxing have paid tribute to Katie Taylor after the Irish great ended her career with victory over Flora Pili at Croke Park.
Unified lightweight champion Caroline Dubois called Taylor "one of the best to ever do it", while Claressa Shields said the 40-year-old deserved to "ride off into the sunset".
Taylor beat Pili on points in Dublin to become undisputed light-welterweight champion and retires with 26 wins from 27 professional contests, Olympic gold and three undisputed ******* le triumphs across two divisions.
"Thank you so much for paving the way," Londoner Dubois wrote on X. "Wishing you happiness, success and joy for this next season."
Taylor was sharper throughout, repeatedly beating the Frenchwoman to the punch before finishing with one final burst of combinations as the crowd rose to its feet.

Blame the heat for a tie between Colorado School of Mines and Washburn on Saturday.
No, really. Blame the heat.
The two Division II teams agreed to end their Saturday morning game tied at 16-16 after Colorado School of Mines missed a game-winning field goal late in the fourth quarter. The game was set to go to overtime, but the wet bulb temperature had already exceeded the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics **** ociation's temperature protocols. Washburn, the home team, is a member of the MIAA.
The game had little chance of resuming anytime soon if the teams wanted to play overtime. Thanks to the heat dome that's currently occupying the middle part of the country, the temperature in Topeka was set to be around 100 degrees on Saturday with the heat index not dropping below 95 degrees until after sunset at 7:49 p.m.
The game was originally scheduled for a noon kickoff before it was pushed to 7 p.m. earlier in the week. With a forecast for temperatures still well into the 90s at that time and Colorado School of Mines' travel to take into account, the teams then agreed to play the game at 9 a.m. in an attempt to avoid what ended up happening anyway.

Amal Clooney's sartorial archives include many forgotten fashion gems. However, one particular look that slipped completely under the radar was the bombshell gold dress she wore to the official launch of Casamigos Tequila in Ibiza in 2015. It was the ultimate Bond Girl moment that has stylishly stood the test time – and **** O! are revisiting it 11 years later.
The international human rights lawyer graced the event in a gold Vionnet dress that boasted a metallic, chainmail sheen. The mini dress featured a plunging cowl neckline with a sleeveless design and subtle asymmetric hem. Amal styled the scene-stealing gown with a pair of black Dior pumps and a matching gold clutch. Her hair was styled into a voluminous blowout while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a bronze eye and a bold red lip.

George Clooney allowed his wife's look to command all the attention as he opted for a more casual approach to his outfit. The actor donned a white **** on-down shirt with a pair of wide-leg jeans.
Amal is no stranger to a glitterball dress. Who could forget the breathtaking Atelier Versace gown she wore to the British Fashion Awards back in 2023? The garment was adorned with cascading, sunset-hued sequins. These bronze embellishments started small at the top of the dress and increased in size as they went down the skirt. The sequins were stitched together by a net of crystal-embroidered string. The result was a shimmering, ombré effect that glistened in the light.

Renowned for blending French techniques with Californian ingredients, Wolfgang Puck helped revolutionize American fine dining. From elegant Oscar after-parties to his many popular restaurants, Puck remains a pioneer in both taste and innovation. His lively presence brought culinary artistry into the mainstream spotlight. Puck's flagship eatery, Spago, opened on Sunset Strip in January 1982 and introduced the then-unheard-of open-kitchen dining concept, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

Nina Dobrev showed off her newly blonde hair during a picturesque evening out, sharing a carousel of photos and videos from a sunset stroll by the water. The "Vampire Diaries" star summed up the outing in her Instagram caption, simply writing, "glow with the flow." The post quickly attracted attention from famous friends, including Heidi Klum, who commented, "Love this so much on you WOW."
Nina Dobrev's dramatically lighter hair was impossible to miss. During her recent stroll in NYC, the actress wore the blonde locks long and loose, with soft waves and darker roots creating dimension as they caught the golden-hour light. Her outfit was similarly understated.
Dobrev slipped into a fitted black camisole suspended from ultra-thin spaghetti straps, pairing the barely-there top with high-rise, dark-wash jeans. The straight-leg denim kept the look casual, while pointed black heels dressed things up without taking the outfit into overly formal territory. In several photos, Dobrev also carried a black jacket in one hand.
The standout accessory came courtesy of Bottega Veneta. Dobrev carried a white Dustbag Notte over her shoulder, featuring the Italian fashion house's recognizable Intrecciato weave and a gold-tone chain strap. The compact white bag offered a sharp contrast against her black top and dark denim.
Dobrev showed the look from several angles throughout her post. One image captured her posing on a waterfront promenade as the setting sun turned the sky orange behind her. Another offered a closer look at the camisole, jeans, and woven bag.

"The Girls Next Door" alum Holly Madison has listed her historic—and allegedly "haunted"—Hollywoodland home as a $9,500-a-month rental, just a few weeks after she opened up about why she feels unable to sell the iconic abode.
Madison, 46, has owned the storied property since 2012, snapping it up for just under $1.5 million four years after she ended her seven-year relationship with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and moved out of his infamous mansion.
Interestingly, the reality star's own L.A. abode features a similar Tudor-inspired design as the Playboy mansion, albeit on a much smaller scale. However, it features a number of very quirky additional features that help it to stand out from the crowd.
The charming dwelling sits in a "really cute community full of fairytale homes" that the star first fell in love with while filming an episode of the Playboy-centric reality show, and it was even investigated for paranormal activity on a 2021 episode of "Ghost Adventures."
In a house tour the former Playmate shared to her personal YouTube channel in March 2026, Madison recalled the moment she first set her sights on the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood she'd one day call home as the cast was driving to Sunset Ranch to produce a horseback riding scene.

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Cody Bellinger is slated to return from the IL today. The outfielder had a short rehab stint at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he recovered from a Grade 2 left hamstring strain that's kept him off the field since late July. "I've been wanting to get back for a while," Bellinger said. "You always want to be realistic, and for me, I want to come back and stay. You don't want to make anything worse. I'm itching to get back, but I've got to continue to play it safe and make sure I'm 100 percent ready." In his second year with New York, Bellinger was an All-Star this season and figures to fortify an outfield that's also been without Aaron Judge in right.
New York Post | Andrew Crane: Giancarlo Stanton strained his left calf earlier this week, calling into question whether he'll be able to return this season, Aaron Boone revealed Saturday. The DH was working back from multiple strains to his right calf when he fell while running the bases, leading to a moderate strain in his left. "We're at a point in the calendar where it gets challenging," said Boone, acknowledging the reality that Stanton's return this season is in jeopardy. Big G has appeared in only 24 games this season, adding to the struggles to stay on the field that have plagued his Yankees tenure.
(As a related aside, you should read Josh's editorial, "Giancarlo Stanton and outrunning the sunset." It's quite good.)
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: In other injury news, Ryan Weathers exited his start Saturday in the fourth inning with left forearm discomfort. He's scheduled for imaging on Sunday. In his first season in the Bronx, the left-hander had been a strong contributor to the rotation, including during a recent stretch in which he posted a 1.94 ERA in his last seven starts. For more on Weathers' departure and some musings on short- and long-term implications, check out Andrew's breaking news post.
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: ($) There was a world where Bellinger's return could have cost Spencer Jones his roster spot. The rookie outfielder has been playing well of late, though, going 12-for-41 with two homers and four stolen bases in his last 12 games."(He's) certainly proved that he can play up here," said Boone. "I think there's a lot more in the tank for him to continue to go and learn, but he's showing the ability to do that, and that's been really encouraging."

Jayne Mansfield's famous "Pink Palace" home in Los Angeles brimmed with rose-colored ***** carpet, cherubs, and hearts.
The actress purchased the mansion for $76,000 and lived there for 10 years before she died in 1967 at 34.
While the Pink Palace has since been demolished, Mansfield's daughter Mariska Hargitay has several heirlooms from the home.
Before Greta Gerwig's Barbie had the world obsessing over all things pink, Jayne Mansfield owned a dream house drenched in the color.
The actress and her soon-to-be husband, Mickey Hargitay, moved into the Sunset Boulevard mansion in late 1957. Per The Hollywood Reporter, it cost Mansfield just $76,000—a steal for its size. She quickly got to work making the place her own, rolling out pink ***** carpet in all the rooms, painting the stucco exterior a sparkling bubblegum shade, and installing a heart-shaped pink marble tub in the primary bathroom.

The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up to defend their hard-earned Super Bowl LX championship, and for one key player in particular, his final chance to sail off into the sunset with a(nother) ring. On Friday afternoon, Seahawks defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence told ESPN's Jori Epstein that the 2026 NFL season will be the last one in his storied career.
DeMarcus Lawrence has talked about how he considered retiring this year after Seattle defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, but perhaps the one thing he hasn't done yet in his career is attempt to defend his crown.
Easily Seattle's most underrated free agent signings a year ago, DeMarcus Lawrence must have found the fountain of youth in the Pacific Northwest as he turned back time on his career. After playing only four games for the Cowboys in his final season with them, Lawrence started all 16 games he was available for Seattle, including all three playoff contests.
DeMarcus Lawrence was an absolute terror on the Seahawks' defensive line. He recorded 53 total tackles, six sacks, and scored two historic fumble return touchdowns in the same game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Seattle earned eternal bragging rights over the San Francisco 49ers by winning Super Bowl LX on their home turf. With Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles, the Seahawks have an opportunity to do the same for the Rams, and allow DeMarcus Lawrence to ride off into the sunset as a two-time champion.

Not sure if we have a guest recap today. I didn't hear back from the scheduled recapper, and didn't see them in the GDT either. So just in case, I'm going to throw up a quick one for now: if a proper recap shows up, this one can quietly wander off into the sunset. I think it's definitely worth marking the fact that today was the first time since 2018 that the D-backs have won the season series over the Dodgers. Now, it's still highly likely to be nothing more than a moral triumph. Los Angeles are still 7.5 games ahead of Arizona, so there's unlikely to be any need for any tie-breaker. But it still indicates this team is certainly playing them tougher than some previous years.
And few players deserve that "tougher" label than Eduardo Rodriguez, who threw 115 pitches over seven innings of two-run ball. It was certainly needed, on a day where the team effectively had four relievers off the board. That was a full ten pitches more than any Arizona starter this year. The last time any D-back threw more was more than nine years ago, Robbie Ray tossing 122 on June 30, 2017. [Of course, Randy Johnson passed that number on an almost everyday basis: twenty-one times in both 1999 and 2001] E-Rod scattered five hits and two walks, with nine strikeouts and improved his record for the year to 11-4.

The offense jumped out on Justin Wrobleski early, putting up a crooked number in both the first and second innings. After a Geraldo Perdomo walk to start the game for the D-backs, Ketel Marte cranked his twentieth home-run of the year into the left-field bleachers, for a quick 2-0 lead. In the second frame, a Ryan Waldschmidt bunt [let's take the arguments as read, shall we?] caused an error which brought home a run, and a Corbin Carroll double gave Arizona a 4-0 advantage. The offense largely shut up shop thereafter. They went 0-for-14 against the Los Angeles bullpen, and were 0-for-7 with RISP. But it was definitely a case of "good enough."
The Dodgers pulled runs back in the third and sixth, but a Freddie Freeman double-play in the eighth, when he represented the tying run, was the end of their real threat. Kevin Ginkel, much-maligned in some quarters, came in for the ninth, notched a 1-2-3 inning with two K's for his first save of the year, reducing his season ERA to 3.60 – pretty respectable, I'd say. There should be some relief (literally) arriving for the team, with the news the D-backs have signed Zack Littell, the former Nats pitcher, likely to act as a long-man in the bullpen. They just have to pay the prorated MLB minimum, Washington covering the rest.

Darren Elkins was hoping to end his UFC career on a good note earlier tonight (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) at UFC Vegas 120 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside the revamped Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, but his retirement sendoff ended in disaster at the hands of a 35-second knockout by featherweight prospect Yadier del Valle.
Elkins, 42, was coming off a long layoff after not competing since a TKO loss to Julian Erosa back in April 2025. The long-time veteran was looking to push his UFC record to 20-11 with a win on Saturday night and walk off into the sunset, but he was a very large betting underdog to do so. That's because of his age and ability to get hit, as well as del Valle's promise as a future contender.
Sadly for Elkins, his final trip to the Octagon was his fastest UFC loss ever. Del Valle needed just 35 seconds to hurt Elkins in the opening exchange and then track him down for a brutal left hand. Elkins went stiff and crashed onto canvas. The referee was all over it and quickly rushed in to stop "Damage" from taking any unnecessary punishment.
Check out the video highlights below!
