CLEVELAND — A pivotal ALCS Game 5 that looked on paper like a premium pitchers' duel dissolved into something much different on Sunday, as the Tampa Bay Rays took down the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 at Progressive Field to move within one win of a World Series berth. While the final score suggests a closely contested ballgame, the tale of the two starting pitchers tells otherwise.
When the AL Cy Young Award is announced next month, it's a safe bet that Yankees ace Cam Schlittler will take home the honor. Toronto's Dylan Cease appears to be the likeliest runner-up. Beyond that, both Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen and Guardians rookie lefty Parker Messick have a strong case to be the third finalist, based on their fantastic regular seasons. Rasmussen ranked third in fWAR (5.0) and fourth in ERA (2.67) behind Schlittler and Cease; Messick ranked fourth in fWAR (4.9) and third in ERA (2.56).
These were the starting pitchers for Game 5 on Sunday. Rasmussen had tossed six innings of two-run ball in Game 1 — but in a Rays loss. Messick covered five innings and allowed three runs in Game 2 — but in a Guardians loss. With the series tied at two games apiece, Sunday's contest gave each frontline arm the tantalizing chance to push his club closer to the American League pennant.

For neutral observers hoping for maximum October drama, the blueprint for a best-case clash could be found in July, when Rasmussen and Messick traded blows in a 1-0 Rays victory at Tropicana Field. In that one, Messick allowed the lone run across 7 ⅔ innings while Rasmussen yielded just one hit across seven shutout frames. If a similar game were on tap Sunday — this time with supremely elevated stakes — that would mean a timely hit or two would be required to seize a narrow victory. But such visions of a repeat nailbiter enforced by these elite starters were quashed in a hurry.

Halle Berry's fiancé Van Hunt is doing his best to support her amid her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Olivier Martinez, a source tells Star.
"He loves her and wants to be there for her," says the source. "But it's incredibly tough for him to know what to do or what to say because she's so on edge all the time."
On Thursday, October 1, People reported that Martinez, 60, is requesting sole custody of his and Berry's 13-year-old son Maceo, alleging that the Oscar-winning actress "physically abused" the teenager in late September and that there have been "other instances of abuse" in the past.
"There's no doubt he's finding it very challenging to be with her right now," the source says of Hunt, 56, who was said to be present during the alleged altercation. "This is not an easy road at the moment, that's for sure."

It took Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner a minute to get on the same page about coming clean about their love affair from decades ago.
In his new memoir One **** uva Ride, Michael, 82, revealed that he and Turner, 72, had a secret romance while filming the 1984 flick Romancing the Stone in Mexico, during which he considered himself separated from his then-wife Diandra Douglas, according to an expert on the book obtained by People.
A source tells Examiner that "at first" the Wall Street actor's "decision to come clean didn't go over well" with the Body Heat actress.
"She's an incredibly private person these days, the last thing she wanted was for people to be talking about her **** life, even if [it] was 40 years ago," the source explains.

Trouble, what trouble? More than a month after moving back to the U.K., Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were finally photographed together — hand-in-hand, no less — at the Falkland Arms pub in the Cotswolds on Friday, October 2.
"This very public outing together was clearly aimed at silencing the critics by pushing the happy couple narrative, but it hasn't really done much," a source tells Examiner. "Everyone is still whispering about the cracks in their marriage."
All the murmurs "bother" the ****** ss of Sussex, 45, the source adds.
So much so that, "even though the last thing she wants to be doing is going out to be gawked at with him, she's forced herself out for this photo op," says the source.

Kerry Kennedy chronicles the awe-inspiring life of her mother, Ethel Kennedy, in her new book, Ethel Kennedy: The Extraordinary Life and Bold Legacy
While Ethel saw her fair share of tragedy — including the ***** assination of her husband, Robert F. Kennedy, and the deaths of two of her 11 children — she never wavered
"She had a lot to live for," Kerry tells PEOPLE of her mother, who died at age 96 in 2024
No matter what the hit Hulu show Love Story says, Ethel Kennedy would never deny anyone a meal. Her daughter Kerry, 67, scoffs at the very idea that she'd have a breakfast "sign-up" sheet, as depicted in the series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's relationship. "She's all about, 'Come in. Let me get you some food,' " Kerry says of Ethel's perennial mothering. " 'You've already eaten? Let me get you some cake. You've already had cake? Here's some chocolate.' "
The mother of 11 was three months pregnant with her youngest, Rory, when her husband, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, was shot on June 5, 1968, and died the next day, just five years after his brother President John F. Kennedy's ***** assination. In the aftermath of twin tragedies, she became the one who carried the torch, and her family.

Alan Ritchson and his wife, Catherine, are putting a positive spin on their shock divorce, but friends of the former couple are bracing themselves for a messy situation in the months ahead, a source tells the National Enquirer.
"People around Alan were pretty shocked at the timing of this break-up, especially because being an involved, sensitive dad has been central to Alan's identity for so long," reveals the source. "That's still the thing he's most broken up about with this divorce: it's going to mean less time with [sons Calem, Edan and Amory] and there's almost nothing he can do about that."
After twenty years of marriage, the Reacher star, 43, and his writer-producer wife, 42, announced their split in a joint Instagram post on September 12, pledging to become the "strongest co-parents" they can be. "We also want to give each other room to grow into the people we are becoming," the statement read.
"[Alan] was quite protective of Catherine and the kids when the Reacher series first got started, and then the show kind of took over everything and made him richer and way more famous than he ever expected," admits the source. "It's a lot to go through in just a few short years, and Alan's insane training schedule, completely apart from the long filming days, didn't make things easier."

There's zero chance that Halle Berry and ex-husband Olivier Martinez will reach a compromise amid their battle over 13-year-old son Maceo, a source tells Star.
"The hatred between these two is off the charts," reveals the source. "There's years and years of ugly history."
On Thursday, October 1, People reported that the Unfaithful actor, 60, was granted a temporary restraining order against the Oscar-winning actress, 60, as well as modified visitation after he accused her of physically abusing Maceo.
"Olivier's accusing Halle of being dangerous and saying he needs to protect their son from her, which is something she vehemently denies," reveals the source. "She's furious and says all Olivier is doing is trying to alienate her son from her."
In documents obtained by Star, the Monster's Ball actress asked that their former custody agreement, which grants her 50/50 custody and tie-breaking authority, be reinstated and that Martinez be forced to attend court-ordered therapy sessions.

The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) was trading at around $193 on October 5, down 11.91% over twelve months. Boeing reported net income of $2.09 billion over the past twelve months. Its EBITDA over the same period was negative $2.9 billion.
Those two figures describe the same year and point in opposite directions. Only one of them tells you what the business did.
READ ALSO: GE Aerospace (GE) vs. RTX (RTX): Which Is the Better Stock to Buy?
Start with the figure that describes the aircraft business itself. Boeing's operating margin is 0.00%. On $93.99 billion of revenue, building and selling airplanes earned nothing.
That is not a rounding problem. Gross profit was $4.43 billion on that revenue, under five percent for a manufacturer, which means the cost of building the aircraft very nearly equals what customers pay for them.

Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson is keeping a close eye on the latest royal drama, with a source claiming she's looking to use the turmoil to her own advantage.
"Sarah is holding off on a book deal for now, figuring that by showing loyalty, or at least keeping her mouth shut, it's only fair that they cut her a break and help her with a path back towards respectability or, at the very least, a place to live," the source tells Examiner. "They don't need any more enemies."
As Examiner previously reported, King Charles III and Queen Camilla have both been enraged by the Tuesday, September 22 release of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. In the tell-all, Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, alleges the monarch "sounded giddily elated" after Di's 1997 death. The 62-year-old also claims Buckingham Palace denied the late Princess of Wales' funeral wishes.
Through an official statement released to Page Six, the king, 77, in an unprecedented move, suggested his former brother-in-law's account was clouded by "grief."
Days after the bombshell book hit shelves, Fergie, 66, shot down rumors she was writing her own memoir to People.

Christy Carlson Romano knows how to play a role, but finding herself has proven to be her greatest performance.
The Emmy-nominated actress and Disney Channel alum looks back on her turbulent upbringing in the spotlight in her debut memoir "Once Upon a Trainwreck: The Fall and Rise of a Child Star" (out now).
Romano, alongside fellow Disney darlings Shia LaBeouf, Hilary Duff and Raven-Symoné, epitomized teen stardom in the early 2000s, appearing in beloved TV shows and movies such as "Even Stevens," "Cadet Kelly" and "Kim Possible."
Despite her success, Romano often felt adrift in young Hollywood, intimidated by the upper echelons of prime-time dramas and glossy magazine covers.
"Looking back, I was really just trying to fit into whatever opportunity was thrown my way, rather than kind of create my own identity so that opportunities would find me in a different light," Romano tells USA TODAY. "I didn't have a stylist or a publicist, and I didn't really invest in myself the way that maybe I should have, to get to know exactly who I wanted to be, even if [that] changed over the years."

Courtiers are trying to orchestrate a truce between Prince William and Prince Harry in the hopes of getting the estranged brothers together to talk about doing a tribute to Princess Diana for the 30th anniversary of her death next year, a source tells Star.
"Harry is all for it, but William's refused," spills the source.
The siblings' relationship has been strained since Harry, 42, and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020 and has only deteriorated after their 2021 tell-all interview and Harry's 2023 memoir, Spare.
Even the Sussexes' recent return to the U.K. with their two young children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, hasn't eased tensions between the brothers.
"He's acting like they don't even exist," the source reveals. "Harry is genuinely shocked that there's not even been a shred of forgiveness on William's part."

Live long and prosper! William Shatner is determined to keep working for as long as he physically can, a source tells Examiner.
"Bill still has the spark and the playfulness that he had when he came to Hollywood 60-plus years ago," reveals the source. "He loves show business and he loves being famous … [and] has outlived and outlasted just about everybody he came up in the business with."
When asked in 2021 if he planned to retire, the Star Trek actor, 95, told AARP, "Why? What are you gonna retire to? I mean, I don't fish and don't play golf. I ride horses a lot. But what are you going to do? You can't sit and rock."
"The idea of just holing up and fading away behind the walls of an estate, something many of his acting peers wound up doing, is unimaginable to him," admits the source. "Bill is a strong believer in the philosophy of 'use it or lose it.' He firmly believes he would actually damage his health if he were to slow down and live the lifestyle of a retired man!"

Bruce Willis' beloved blended family is cautiously optimistic that some of the new treatments for dementia may help his situation, a source tells Examiner.
"They're all looking into everything and they are open-minded even about risky drugs and surgeries that are still in the clinical trials phase," reveals the source. "Anything Bruce might be remotely eligible for, they're inquiring about."
Wife Emma Heming Willis has become a fierce advocate for frontotemporal dementia awareness after Bruce, 71, received his devastating diagnosis in 2023, even launching the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund for Dementia Research and Caregiver support in March.
The Die Hard star shares daughters Mabel, 14, and Evelyn, 12, with the former model, 50, and daughters Rumer, 38, Scout, 35, and Tallulah, 32, with ex-wife Demi Moore.
"They're all still Bruce's biggest advocates and cheerleaders," says the source. "And they point to the idea that the Bruce they have always known is still in there somewhere, because they can see it in his eyes."

After a series of high-profile relationships that imploded, Jim Carrey is doing things differently with new wife Min Ah, a source tells In Touch.
"He's kept the relationship almost totally out of the spotlight and that's something he intends to continue doing because he regrets being so public in the past," shares the source. "He thinks all the noise did a lot of damage to his past relationships."
Following his first marriage to former Comedy Store ***** tail waitress Melissa Womer — with whom he shares daughter Jane Carrey, 39 — the actor was wed to his Dumb and Dumber costar Lauren Holly. Their union lasted just nine months before she filed for divorce. Carrey later dated his Me, Myself & Irene leading lady, Renée Zellweger, as well as Singled Out alum Jenny McCarthy.
"Privacy is very important to Jim now," the source says. "And Min is on the same page."
Initially spotted together in 2022, the now-newlyweds finally acknowledged their romance during the César Awards in Paris this February, with the comedian, 64, referring to Ah, 32, as his "sublime companion," per People.

As he enters the final chapter of his life, Robert Wagner is fine-tuning his $20 million will — and a source says the actor, 96, plans to leave a portion of his fortune to late wife Natalie Wood's loved ones.
"Robert still loves Natalie deeply," the source tells Examiner. "He honors her every birthday and anniversary, so the idea of doing something for her extended family as a way to honor her memory really appeals to him."
The 43-year-old actress mysteriously drowned in 1981 during a trip on the yacht Splendour with Wagner, then 51, and her Brainstorm costar, Christopher Walken.
While the Hart to Hart actor has consistently denied any involvement in her death — and an investigation officially cleared him as a person of interest in 2022 — his actions on the night of Wood's passing have long been scrutinized.
"Robert knows that for some people Natalie's death will always be the first thing they think of when they hear his name," adds the source. "That hurts him enormously. He can't change what happened or what people think, but he can still do something positive for the people she left behind and hopefully get some closure from that himself."

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA − Dhar Mann doesn't consider other digital content creators his competition.
The filmmaker behind Dhar Mann Studios, whose inspirational videos reach hundreds of millions of viewers each week, has his sights set on something bigger: Hollywood.
"I actually see other major studios as the competition," Mann tells USA TODAY during a tour of his Burbank, California, studios. "I don't really see a difference between any of the big studios and what they've built and the trajectory that we're on."
It's an ambitious outlook for a company that started nearly eight years ago in Mann's downtown LA apartment, where he filmed videos on iPhones.
Today, Dhar Mann Studios has more than 170 million followers across social media and a team of about 250 people. The content, drawing nearly 300 million views a week, has expanded beyond social platforms through partnerships with Samsung, Fox and Disney, including a recently announced 20-episode order from Disney.

For almost three decades Lucy Wilkinson has dedicated her life to making children laugh as a professional clown.
Lucy, better known as "Louby Lou", said her passion for clown life began when she started helping her father Arnold Cheetham, aka Trumble the Clown, at local shows as a child.
"I fell in love with the laughter, joy and magic that came from entertaining kids," she said. "It was back then that I knew this was my calling."
The father-daughter entertainment duo from Wigan is the focus of a new short documentary film Where Laughter Lives, which tells the story of life of the clowning family across the decades.

Dakota Johnson's shoe style has a few reliable tells. On the red carpet, the actress regularly comes back to barely-there strappy sandals, a choice that also happens to leave her "Look At The Moon" foot tattoo in full view. She has worn versions from Saint Laurent and Gucci over the years, including black sandals with her slinky Gucci dress for the 2025 "Materialists" premiere.
Off duty, Johnson is just as committed to the eternal cool-girl ballet flat. In 2026, she repeatedly stepped out in Phoebe Philo's gathered leather flats, then worked Khaite's high-vamp Jane flats into her "Verity" press tour wardrobe.
