Milania Giudice has changed her tone toward Mom Teresa Giudice after their heated clash at Tampa International Airport. Nearly two weeks after snapping at the RHONJ star, Milania publicly praised her mother and apologized. The public U-turn follows an uncomfortable family moment that quickly spread online. However, Milania's latest posts suggest she wants to move past the tension with Teresa.
According to Reality Blurb, Giudice shared several Instagram Story posts about Teresa on Oct. 6. One repost featured a message about appreciating how someone was raised and who raised them.
Giudice also added her own note for Teresa. "You are the best, sorry mother," she wrote. The message came after her heated clash with Teresa and her sister, Gia Giudice, at Tampa International Airport in September. She posted and later deleted a video of the tense exchange.
In the clip, Giudice repeatedly said, "This is what we do now," as she filmed her family and several law enforcement officers. Teresa responded by telling her daughter, "I love you." she then told her mother to "shut the f— up."
At the time, no one involved publicly explained what started the argument. Nevertheless, the brief video quickly drew attention from Real Housewives of New Jersey fans.

TikTok users are worried about their most beloved celebrities dying, and they're using an audio warning against making "unnecessary journeys" to share these fears.
The trend is experiencing a big boost in virality following the recent high-profile death of Dolly Parton, which was quickly followed by the death of Tim Curry.
But what is the context of the "unnecessary journeys" audio, what does the trend mean, and why is it going viral? Here's what we know.
In 2015, news broadcaster Teresa Mannion reported on Storm Desmond in the west of Ireland. During the report, she stands in the middle of the storm and yells through the rain, "Don't make unnecessary journeys, don't take risks on treacherous roads, and don't swim in the sea!"
The clip went viral after it was edited and posted to YouTube by Gerard Walsh. The edit adds a scene to the end of her report, where a stop sign hits her in the head.

Cynthia Bailey revealed Vicki Gunvalson didn't recognize her while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. The 59-year-old said that Gunvalson had "no idea" who she was, joking that "she might've been a little afraid" of her.
During an exclusive interview with Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea along with Crystal Kung Minkoff, Bailey recalled her awkward interaction with Gunvalson. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star said, "I go up to Vicki [and] she literally has no idea who I am."
Gunvalson failed to recognize Bailey, who was dressed as 50 Cynt, the male alter ego she created. Bailey introduced the character during a Halloween party in Season 10 of RHOA while celebrating her 50th birthday. Bailey said she expected Gunvalson to realize she was part of the cast. The encounter happened while they were filming at a party in Atlanta.
Bailey recalled that Gunvalson looked at her like she was "crazy," prompting her to reveal that she was Bailey. Gunvalson then appeared confused, leading Bailey to clarify that she was Cynthia Bailey from The Atlanta Housewives. However, Gunvalson responded with surprise, admitting that she didn't know who Bailey was. Minkoff pointed out that she had previously appeared on Gunvalson's podcast and acknowledged that it can be easy for the Housewives to get mixed up with one another.
Gunvalson and Bailey both star in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, the franchise's fifth season, which made its debut on August 9. The pair are part of the show's core cast, joining Lisa Barlow, Teresa Giudice, Porsha Williams, Kyle Richards and Gizelle Bryant. The series premieres on Bravo as the cast embarks on a cross-country road trip celebrating 20 years of The Real Housewives.

DECATUR, Ill. (WCIA) - Millikin football took a step in the right direction during its first year with Billy Riebock as head coach.
Riebock, a Decatur native and St. Teresa High School graduate, helped the Big Blue to three wins in 2025, after the program went winless in both 2023 and 2024.
Now, he hopes his team can continue to grow in 2026.
We got to come together," he said. "It's less about the X's and O's, and just about constant development, execution on and off the field and playing for each other. So far, I like where we're trending."
He feels a sense of responsibility to deliver on his promise to Millikin fan to bring winning football.

It was no accident last year that all four of the state football semifinalists in Class 5A came from the same district.
That league, 2-5A, looks much the same as it did in 2025, with a couple of alterations. Chaparral has moved up from 4A and Alamogordo has dropped from 6A. Those two replace Santa Teresa and Lovington, who both are now 4A members for at least the next two seasons.
As always, the conversation begins (and frequently ends) with rivals Artesia and Roswell, who have met in each of the last three state **** le games. The Bulldogs came from behind to stun the Coyotes 25-24 in last November's final, and this fall, Artesia is chasing its 34th blue trophy.
"It's up to the rest of us to dethrone those two," Gadsden coach Dino Facio said.
Artesia graduated 35 seniors, and 21 starters, so the Bulldogs, who open against rival Carlsbad, are reloading. But they've got another 35 seniors this season.

McAbee's family attended his execution at the Florida State Prison in Raiford.

Outreach to small businesses looking to bid on public jobs has only gotten easier, says Teresa Maxwell.
The DBE compliance officer for Skanska Civil's West region got her start as a receptionist, when paper and snail mail was the common practice for contacting potential subcontractors.
Now, Maxwell says the systems Skanska has in place for its in-house diverse business enterprise outreach program — not to be confused with the Department of Transportation's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program — better enabled it to hit small business contracting goals on a $380 million Los Angeles International Airport project.
Here, Maxwell talks with Construction Dive about hitting goals on the Los Angeles World Airports Roadways, Utilities and Enabling job, the state of small business outreach and the impact of evolving federal certifications.

The sports front pages this August 12 spotlight the major continental final between Luis Enrique and Emery, along with ongoing situations involving Julián Álvarez, Ferran Torres, and Güler.
Marca puts the focus on the European Super Cup Final between PSG and Aston Villa. With the headline "Who will outshine whom?", the newspaper contrasts Luis Enrique's ambition to win the ******* le again with Unai Emery's revamped project. It also highlights Real Madrid's return to the Teresa Herrera Trophy thirteen years later.
In the Madrid press, AS gives its entire front page to Arda Güler under the slogan "Güler still in charge". The Turkish player will spearhead Real Madrid's attack at Riazor in the absence of the Club World Cup players. On the international front, the paper also covers the European Super Cup, describing it as a "very Spanish appetizer."
Mundo Deportivo focuses on the high-tension face-off between JuliánÁlvarez and Diego Simeone after the Argentine striker's no-show, both standing firm in their tug-of-war over his possible move to Barça. It also gives top billing to the "Lucho-Emery" Super Cup clash and confirms that Ferran Torres has been granted permission to finalize his departure from the blaugrana club.
Sport leads boldly with "Adieu, Ferran", announcing an imminent agreement with PSG for around 55 million euros. The Barça news is accompanied by a terrible medical update: the serious knee injury suffered by Roony Bardghji, who will miss the entire season with a torn cruciate ligament.

Real Madrid's trip to Galicia for the Teresa Herrera Trophy will take place against a backdrop of growing tension at Deportivo La Coruña, reports Mundo Deportivo.
The Federation of Deportivo Supporters' Clubs, Old Faces and Riazor Blues have called on Deportivo supporters to stay away from the stadium for the clash with Real Madrid.
The groups are protesting against the conditions imposed on season-ticket holders in the Lower Marathon stand, which they believe are "discriminatory" and "unfair".
The supporters' groups want the Deportivo board to reconsider the measures affecting fans in the Lower Marathon section.
They argue that the club has moved too far away from the identity and traditions that have traditionally connected Deportivo with its supporters.

Rosie O'Donnell shared her experience taking the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, including the side effects. The former talk show host said she has "never felt better." However, she revealed that she had lost 12 pounds without making any changes, leading her to worry that she might have cancer.
O'Donnell spoke about the details on the August 11 episode of the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast. The 64-year-old said, as quoted by Us Weekly, "Three years ago, the doctor told me … they said, 'You have diabetes, can you take a shot?' I said, 'I think so. I don't know. I've never done a shot. Is it insulin?' … They said, 'No, it's this new drug and it really helps with your blood sugar.'"
O'Donnell said she was never told that the medication could cause rapid weight loss. She said doctors were focused on getting her "numbers" down. After starting Mounjaro, O'Donnell went to ***** u but said she could not eat after her son Blake proposed to Teresa Garofalow Westervelt. The couple got married in 2024. O'Donnell is also the mother of Parker, 31, Chelsea, 28, Vivienne, 23, and Clay, 13.
The comedian said she was overwhelmed with emotion after missing her mother, Roseann, and wishing she could have witnessed Blake's engagement and new chapter in life. She initially believed that emotional experience explained her weight loss. However, two weeks later, "I get on the scale. I call my doctor crying. I must have cancer. I've lost 12 pounds and I haven't done anything. It's been three weeks since I started that medicine."
O'Donnell, who first opened up about taking Mounjaro in January 2023, explained that losing weight had always been difficult for her, even when she actively tried. She said the drug could help many people with obesity but criticized the high cost of the treatment.

Real Madrid will play their penultimate pre-season friendly of the summer tomorrow when they take on Deportivo La Coruna in the Teresa Herrera Trophy match.
The Merengues will lock horns with the newly-promoted La Liga club at Estadio Riazon, returning to the Teresa Herrera Trophy after 13 years.
Ahead of the trip to Galicia for the friendly tomorrow, manager Jose Mourinho has announced the squad list of Real Madrid players who will be at his disposal for the match.
And, in what comes as a bit of a surprise, new summer signing Yan Diomande has not been called up for the trip.
After his arrival last week, the Ivorian winger, who cost €140 million including add-ons, was left out for the friendly against Ferencvaros, and it was widely expected that the 19-year-old would make his debut against Deportivo.

Real Madrid will face Deportivo at the Teresa Herrera before the start of La Liga.
Many of the new faces in the Blancos squad will not be present in the tournament, as they still do not have the necessary number of training sessions under their belt.
This is José Mourinho's squad list for the match...
Courtois, Konaté, Cucurella, Diomandé, Mbappé and Tchouameni will miss it — the latter through injury — and Jude Bellingham will not be there either, as he joins up this Wednesday.

Red carpet fashion is always a showcase of personal style, where bold risks can become unforgettable triumphs or occasional missteps. Recent premieres for The Invite and the live-action Moana offered plenty of standout looks, with celebrities embracing everything from elegant couture to contemporary tailoring. Together, these appearances highlighted how fashion continues to play a central role in promoting major film releases while allowing stars to express their individuality.
At the premiere of The Invite, Penélope Cruz brought timeless elegance to the red carpet in a custom pale blue Chanel gown. The soft color and refined silhouette created a fresh, sophisticated appearance that perfectly suited the occasion. Rashida Jones demonstrated that sharp tailoring can be just as glamorous as an evening dress, wearing a black double-breasted Chloé suit accented by a sailor-inspired lace collar. Meanwhile, Olivia Wilde embraced dramatic styling in a striking black Saint Laurent gown featuring a cropped twisted bodice, oversized sleeves, and vibrant emerald earrings that added a welcome burst of color.
The global press tour for the live-action Moana showcased an equally impressive range of fashion. In Shanghai, Dwayne Johnson made a confident statement in a white Dzojchen suit with a modern wrap jacket, completing the look with white-rimmed glasses and traditional Polynesian garlands that celebrated the film's cultural roots. Co-star Catherine Laga'aia embraced playful elegance during the daytime events in a lavender crop top and flowing skirt before changing into a dreamy Teresa Helbig couture gown for the evening premiere. Inspired by the beauty of water, the design featured delicate botanical details and a soft, flowing silhouette that echoed the spirit of Disney's Moana.
As the promotional tour continued to London, Johnson stayed true to his signature style with another crisp white ensemble, pairing an open-collar shirt with matching trousers and a floral garland. Laga'aia complemented the event with a coordinated LoveShackFancy outfit featuring floral embroidery and a tiered maxi skirt that captured a cheerful, youthful energy. Their consistent styling throughout the tour reinforced the vibrant and adventurous atmosphere surrounding the film.
Another memorable appearance came from Millie Bobby Brown, who wore a romantic custom Galia Lahav gown inspired by a costume featured in the movie. The flowing icy-blue dress included a pleated bodice, delicate bow detail, and elegant skirt, while understated accessories and soft styling allowed the design to remain the centerpiece. Standing beside her husband, Jake Bongiovi, Brown completed a polished and graceful look that perfectly reflected the fantasy-inspired charm of the film, proving once again that thoughtful fashion can become an extension of storytelling itself.

New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu has dominated the WNBA 3-Point Contest for years, setting the all-time 3-point contest record in both the WNBA and NBA after scoring 37 of 40 points in 2023. But Ionescu won't be participating at this year's contest in Chicago, meaning bragging rights are up for grabs.
Ionescu, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride were invited to participate in the 3-point contest, but declined, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.
Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey and Atlanta Dream forward Rhyne Howard headline the field of six WNBA stars set to participate in the 2026 WNBA 3-Point contest on Friday, July 24, which precedes the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game between Team Teresa Weatherspoon and Team Cynthia Cooper on Saturday.

Diana, the former Princess of Wales, is a name known the world over. The royal, who was dubbed 'The People's Princess', was much-loved across the globe and adoration for her has continued long after her death in 1997. However, it came to light in Prince Harry's deeply personal memoir, Spare, that he never liked his mother's royal **** le of princess - and here's why
Within the book he penned: "Although my mother was a princess, named after a goddess, both those terms always felt weak, inadequate. People routinely compared her to icons and saints, from Nelson Mandela to Mother Teresa to Joan of Arc, but every such comparison, while lofty and loving, also felt wide of the mark. The most recognizable woman on the planet, one of the most beloved, my mother was simply indescribable, that was the plain truth."
Princess Diana certainly left a legacy as a humanitarian force, with iconic moments such as shaking the hand of a patient with HIV at London Middlesex hospital in 1987 to help end the stigma around the disease and walking through an active minefield in Huambo, Angola, to make a stand against landmines.
Despite many young girls dreaming of being a princess one day, with tales of dreamy weddings and fancy jewels, it turns out that the reality can be a little different, and Princess Diana often spoke about her struggles with being part of the monarchy.
"I felt that my personality was taken away from me, and I was taken over by the royal machine."

BRUSSELS, July 9 (Reuters) - SAP, Europe's largest software maker, will make it easier for its customers to switch to rival service providers or end their contracts, EU antitrust regulators said on Thursday as part of concessions aimed at staving off a possible fine.
In September last year, the European Commission launched an investigation over concerns that SAP might be hindering competitors in the market for maintenance and support services of on-premise software. Regulators suspected SAP was making it difficult for its customers to switch vendors.
SAP subsequently tweaked its proposal after the EU competition watchdog received feedback from third parties, resulting in the Commission giving the green light to the concessions. Reuters exclusively reported on this in November last year.
"Today's decision gives customers using SAP's popular on-premises business management software more freedom to choose maintenance and support services without unfair restrictions that raised their costs and stifled competition," EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera said in a statement.

The new-look Pac-12 is preparing to kick off its first year as a full-fledged conference after holdovers of the former league, Oregon State and Washington State, operated as a twosome under the Pac-12 banner following the conference's practical dissolution after the 2023-24 season.
Beginning this upcoming season, the Pac-12 will feature Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga (basketball), Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and Washington State. The league will also begin a new set of media rights deals with CBS, The CW, and USA Sports. CBS will broadcast a few of the league's marquee games, with the vast majority of inventory landing on The CW and USA Network.
Considering the breakdown of its media distribution, it's fair to say the Pac-12 has solidified itself as a mid-major conference. Still, the Pac-12 is likely in a position to pay its member schools more than their previous homes — mostly in the Mountain West and Sun Belt — could have afforded to pay.
We won't know exactly how much that is until some of the public schools in the conference file their financials because, at least according to Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gould, it is "inappropriate" to publicize media revenues earned from the conference's new set of rights deals. Appearing on a recent episode of the Bald-Faced Truth Unfiltered show with independent college football reporter John Canzano, Gould explained her reasoning.
"I think there's a long history in our business of a lot of folks — whether it's the media, whether it's industry people — kind of focusing in on media rights numbers. And I would say a couple of things," Gould began. "Number one, media rights are one piece of the overall distribution. All money is green. All money can be spent. I personally think, number one, that it's incredibly inappropriate to be releasing numbers of agreements that we have with media rights partners that are very complex and have rights fees included, have marketing commitments included. They're not simple agreements. But I would also say, in addition to the confidentiality of the agreements we signed with our media rights partners, we prefer to focus on our entire business enterprise and the overall number that our members will get at the end of the first year, FY27. That is really the more important number than the media rights number specifically."
