As a long-time host of "The View," Joy Behar is known for her outspokenness, which sometimes causes scandals, such as dragging Melania Trump when insulting Donald Trump. Other than her political views and wild on-show feuds, Behar is recognized for her polished looks behind the desk. The TV personality has been vocal about her signature, face-framing blowout and the fact that she's not a natural redhead. While Behar isn't hesitant to discuss any cosmetic changes, she's also not afraid to wear a makeup look that's more minimal than her usual television glam.

In August 2026, Behar went to ****** town Kitchen in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The TV host, wearing an all-black outfit, posed with ****** town Kitchen's owner Willy Garcia for the restaurant's Instagram post. Behar kept her makeup simple by wearing gray eyeshadow and a red lip. Overall, Behar's skin looks amazing in her 80s. Her forehead, chin, and cheeks seem smooth. Her cheeks also look plump for someone in their twilight years, which could be a result of having good skin and investing in nonsurgical skin treatments. She also wore her hair down without the volume that fans of "The View" are used to seeing on screen.

If there's one thing you learn after a few seasons of New York Fashion Week, it's that the shows are only half the fun. Sure, everyone spends the day running from runway to runway, but once the sun goes down, the fashion crowd has an entirely different schedule to keep. There are dinners, ****** tail parties, store openings, after-parties—and, inevitably, some nights that go much later than planned.
The spring/summer 2027 season is officially underway, and so is the party circuit. Things kicked off on September 8, when Siegelman Stable hosted a dinner at Pendry Manhattan West, where Carmelo Anthony, US Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe, and New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek, fresh off the team's championship season, all made appearances.
But the following night really got things going. On September 9, Bulgari brought Dua Lipa, Lisa, and Anne Hathaway to the High Line for a special Serpenti Infinito unveiling before the festivities moved to Boom. Lipa arrived at the after-party with her new husband, Callum Turner, and later hit the dance floor with Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams. Elsewhere in the city, Ugg and Willy Chavarria toasted the global launch of their collaboration at Ray's, while Coach followed its 85th-anniversary runway show with a club-style after-party of its own. Not bad for the first two nights—and the fashion week social calendar is only getting busier from here.
Ahead, find the best photos from New York Fashion Week's parties, dinners, and late-night celebrations, with plenty more to come as the week unfolds.

With 19 more losses, the 2026 San Francisco Giants would become just the second team in franchise history to lose 100 games.
Does the three-digit number matter? To some, yes.
"I would say it does," starter Landen Roupp said. "That's not something we want to do. Regardless of whether we're in it or not, we still want to win baseball games and compete. I would say it's a thing that we don't want to hit."
Others believe once a team drops out of contention, the actual number of Ls is beside the point.
"To me, what difference does it make if you lose 95 or 100 games?" shortstop Willy Adames said. "You're out of the race, what's the point of the discussion? I see it as a disappointment either way."

San Diego Padres third baseman Luis Rengifo, who began the year with the Milwaukee Brewers, suffered a season-ending injury on a strange play in his team's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, one of two former Brewers with serious injuries.
Confirmation came Monday that Rengifo had suffered an ACL and MCL tear on this play in the seventh inning of the Aug. 29 game, when Rengifo tried to throw home during a chaotic sequence and fell in a heap. The play allowed the Rays to score two additional runs and tie the score at 6-6, a game Tampa Bay went on to win, 7-6.
Rengifo had to be carted from the field. It's a brutal ending for a player who had turned his season around, improving from a .534 OPS with the Brewers in 57 games to a .784 mark in 38 games. That included a grand slam against his old team, the Brewers, earlier in August during a Padres sweep.
The Padres have lost five of six games and are a ½ game behind Arizona for the last National League wild-card spot heading into the week.
Meanwhile, former Brewers shortstop Willy Adames may also be done for the year with the San Francisco Giants. He has a left elbow strain that required a platelet-rich plasma injection, putting the rest of his season in doubt.

One of the reasons the San Francisco Giants have liked Christian Koss so much is his baseball savvy. Against one of the team's top 2026 tormentors, the Diamondbacks, Koss' baserunning helped fuel a rare win against Arizona.
Hit by a pitch in the fifth, Koss dashed from first to third on Nate Furman's sacrifice bunt, realizing third baseman Jose Fernandez hadn't retreated fast enough to the bag. That set up Drew Gilbert's sacrifice fly to take a 2-1 lead, helping starter Landen Roupp snap his five-game losing streak. The Giants are now 2-8 against the Diamondbacks this season.
Jung Hoo Lee hasn't started two games in a row because of a bruised right elbow, but he pinch hit in the eighth Thursday and drew a 10-pitch walk. He scored on Bryce Eldridge's double and rookie outfielders Jonah ****** and Turner Hill provided RBI singles that inning, while third baseman Shay Whitcomb sent ****** in with a safety-squeeze bunt.
With Willy Adames likely out for the rest of the season with an elbow injury, Koss has started 27 of the past 28 games and has a plus-2 outs above average (OAA), an advanced Statcast metric. Adames, who has played through back issues this season, had a minus-17, tied for worst in the majors.
The Giants have Marcelo Mayer, acquired from Boston at the deadline, waiting in the wings. When he's ready to come off the injured list - he expects to be out of a walking boot for a bruised foot soon - Koss is likely to shift back to third, where he has also played well.

Willy Adames, who prides himself on playing every day, might not be in the San Francisco Giants' lineup the rest of the way.
San Francisco's shortstop was scheduled for a platelet-rich plasma injection Thursday evening for his left elbow strain, followed by rest. According to the Giants the estimated recovery time is three to four weeks. With a month left in the season, that makes Adames' return to action in 2026 iffy, especially with no minor-league teams in action at that point for a rehab ******* ignment.
"I don't know how reasonable or realistic that is," manager Tony Vitello said of Adames potentially playing again this season. Adames missed just two games with the Giants last year and one with Milwaukee the year before that.
Considering Adames' season-long struggle with back issues, it might make even less sense to rush his return, and the Giants aren't contending. Getting a look at younger players is among the current priorities. While Vitello said that Adames could get some DH at-bats, he noted that other players need those at-bats - notably Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge. The good news is that it appears Adames will not need surgery, and it's his non-throwing arm.
"You hate to jump to conclusions, but for now that's been ruled out," Vitello said.

Leeds United return to the City Ground on Tuesday full of confidence, Anton Stach's stoppage-time free-kick having secured a 1-0 win in the same fixture just four days earlier. Daniel Farke will be keen to reach the Carabao Cup third round for the first time as Leeds boss.
Willy Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson are both out with muscle injuries, Gnonto having picked his up in a pre-season friendly against Manchester United in Dublin. Ilia Gruev remains a longer-term absentee with a knee issue, though he has partially reintegrated into training, and his involvement in the matchday squad is unclear.
Farke confirmed everyone else in his squad is available for selection, including summer signing Nico Elvedi, who was cleared to play before the weekend and made the bench for the Premier League opener without being used. Noah Okafor's fitness levels remain worth monitoring, having missed the entire pre-season after an extended break following Switzerland's World Cup run.
Elvedi is expected to come into the back three for his first Leeds involvement, with Joe Rodon and Tarik Muharemovic retained alongside him and Jaka Bijol among those to make way. James Justin and Jayden Bogle offer athletic options at wing-back capable of managing the quick turnaround, while Ao Tanaka could be given a rare start in place of Anton Stach, who is expected to be held back as an attacking option from the bench. Farke is likely to freshen his attack too, with Daniel James, Felix Nmecha and Noah Okafor in line to lead the line ahead of Saturday's starters.
Leeds United possible starting XI (3-4-3): Perri; Elvedi, Rodon, Muharemovic; Bogle, Tanaka, Longstaff, Justin; James, Nmecha, Okafor

The San Francisco Giants announced a series of 10 transactions before their series opener against the Cincinnati Reds. The biggest move of them all was placing shortstop Willy Adames on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left elbow.
Adames, 30, suffered an elbow injury in their series finale against the Boston Red Sox. He told NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic that it happened when he slid home in the first inning. Adames eventually left the game in the fifth inning.
The veteran infielder underwent an MRI after the game, which revealed the sprain. Pavlovic relays that it's a moderate sprain, which could mean a lengthy stint on the injured list.

BOSTON (AP) — Eli White slid headfirst into the plate with the winning run to complete a three-run ninth-inning rally, a play that was upheld after a review, and the Boston Red Sox got to twice celebrate their 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.
Wilyer Abreu hit a hard grounder that first baseman Bryce Eldridge made a diving stop on, then threw home for an attempted force, but White was ruled safe by umpire James Hoye, setting off a celebration. The Giants challenged the call on the field and the call stood after a video review, prompting a second celebration.
Willy Adames hit a solo homer over the Green Monster for the Giants, who lost for the 10th time in 13 games.
Dylan Smith had escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the eighth before Boston rallied against Sam Hentges (1-6), tying it on Nick Sogard's RBI double down the left-field line after pinch-hitter White had a run-scoring single.
Wyatt Olds (1-0) earned the win.

With one out in the 8th inning of Thursday's afternoon rubber match, Cleveland Guardians center fielder Petey Halpin singled, then got caught leaning by JT Brubaker. The pickoff throw went to Bryce Eldridge, who ran Halpin to Willy Adames, who threw to Osleivis Basabe, who dropped the ball.
Three pitches later, Halpin was at third after Brubaker threw a wild pitch. One pitch after that, he'd scored the final run of Cleveland's 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on an RBI single from Brayan Rocchio.
The Giants would make it interesting in the 9th, drawing two walks off closer Cade Smith (32 saves) after being down to their last strike, but Rafael Devers flew out to end the game and send the Giants to their sixth straight series loss, and their 9th road series loss in a row.
The story of the game was, once again, poor Giants defense. Little Leaguers can successfully execute a pickle, but not the Cement Glove keystone duo of Basabe and Willy Adames, who committed his 18th error of the season and also fumbled the exchange on a potential double play.
Cleveland's three-run first-inning rally got a boost from a ground-ball single from Travis Bazzanna that went under Basabe's glove, giving the Guardians first and third with no one out instead of a rally-killing double play. A bloop single and a sacrifice fly made it 2-0, then Adames booted a second double-play ball grom Angel Genao. That opened the door for an RBI single from Patrick "Patty Barrels" Bailey, the first hard-hit ball of the inning off of Landen Roupp (7-13) despite it being a 3-0 game.

For the third consecutive series, the Giants have won the opener and lost the last two.
While quality pitching, along with some shoddy defense, couldn't sustain itself over the entire game on Saturday, blame for Sunday's extra inning 3-1 loss rests solely on the shoulders of San Francisco's hitters.
After Willy Adames's 5th inning solo shot on Friday night, the offense had laid nothing but eggs against Detroit pitchers. Jackson Jobe and Co. held them scoreless yesterday. A couple of fortunate breaks on ******* in play and a throwing error helped the Giants complete their only circuit of the bases against a dominant Troy Melton (fun fact: he's a former teammate with Casey Schmitt at SDSU). But when the game came down to the wire, the final 7 hitters from the 8th to the 10th innings did this: ground into a bases loaded double play, then strike out six times.
Over the last 21 innings of this series, the offense scored just one run.
A run that was nearly enough for Logan Webb, who stifled a hot Tigers team over 8 innings. The work was fast too. Webb pitched at a brutal pace and attacked the zone with 66% strike-percentage. From his main trio of offerings, the sweeper was Sunday's star. He leaned on it heavily on his first trip down the order, and overall, nearly half (14 of 30) of his breaking ******* went for called strikes. Clearly Detroit hitters were sitting on the change-up and sinker and Webb played coy with those main offerings, withholding them early in the count, feathering them in more and more the deeper he got into the game.

The Tigers didn't need eight runs in this one. Troy Melton spun another shutout performance, and great work from Kenley Jansen and Tyler Holton carried the day late. The Tigers broke a 1-1 tie in the top of the 10th inning with a clutch knock from Hao-Yu Lee, and Holton shut the door to wrap up a 7-9 road trip.
Right-hander Troy Melton has busied himself recently by staking a claim as the Tigers #1 starter. He came into this one looking to extend his scoreless innings run. Melton last allowed a run on July 23 against the Royals. He blanked the Orioles and the Mariners each for seven innings in his last two outings. He'd have some tough competition in Logan Webb.
The two starters really did lock up in an old fashioned pitchers duel. Spencer Torkelson singled in the second inning for the game's first hit, but he was stranded. Drew Gilbert smoked a triple off of Melton with two outs in the bottom of the second, but Melton got Daniel Susac to ground out to Colt Keith at third to turn them away.
In the bottom of the fourth, Melton finally got into some trouble as Willy Adames led off with a single. Melton struck out Osleivis Basabe, but Drew Gilbert lifted a relatively shallow fly ball to Zach McKinstry in right, and the versatile utilityman cut down Basabe at the plate to end the inning. That play really took the wind out of the Giants sails.

Jackson Jobe was impressive in his long-awaited return to the mound for the Detroit Tigers, pitching five outstanding, scoreless innings against the Giants in San Francisco on Saturday.
Jobe allowed just one hit, one walk and struck out four, throwing 46 of his 71 pitches for strikes.
The game was scoreless when Jobe retired the side in the fifth, but the Tigers had taken a 1-0 lead on a bases-loaded walk to Spencer Torkelson by the time Tyler Holton spelled him on the mound in the bottom of the sixth, putting Jobe in position to earn the victory.
The Tigers had stretched that lead to 7-0 by the end of the seventh inning.
The only hit Jobe allowed was a single to Willy Adames in the fourth inning. He retired the side in order in each of the first three innings.

The San Francisco Giants did the inevitable and got rid of multiple players in a fire sale during MLB's trade deadline in hopes of salvaging the remainder of the season with a focus on next year.
Six players were shipped out of San Francisco and on to different teams. Those players included Tyler Mahle to the Atlanta Braves, Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian to the Philadelphia Phillies, Heliot Ramos to the New York Yankees, Robbie Ray to the San Diego Padres, and Erik Miller to the Boston Red Sox.
In return, the Giants got back a couple right-handed pitchers, Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair, from the Phillies. The Padres sent right-hand pitcher Miguel Mendez and infielder Joniel Hernandez to the Bay Area. The Yankees sent back left-hand pitcher Henry Lalane and shortstop Kaeden Kent, son of Giants legend and Hall of Famer Jeff Kent. San Francisco got infielder Marcelo Mayer from Boston. While Anthony Molina, who they immediately ******* igned to their Triple-A affiliate, Sacramento River Cats, came via trade with the Braves.
Notable players that remain on the roster are Matt Chapman, Rafael Devers and Willy Adames. Their names were floated around the trade rumor mill but ultimately stay put in San Francisco.
Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey appeared on Bay Area sports radio station 95.7 FM "The Game" to provide insight and feedback on his approach at the trade deadline and moving forward.

Warren Zaire-Emery could be a good option for Bayern Munich, but the Bavarian giants currently have no room for him in their squad.
Bayern legend Willy Sagnol believes the German champions should target another French talent in the form of Zaire-Emery.
Bayern have a rich history of signing French players, including Franck Ribery, Bixente Lizarazu and Sagnol himself, while Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano are currently part of the club's squad.
After progressing through the youth ranks at PSG, Zaire-Emery has established himself as a key player under Luis Enrique.
The 20-year-old has already made 183 appearances for the French champions, scoring 11 goals, while also earning 13 caps for the France national team.

It's a no-brainer that the San Francisco Giants would be willing sellers at the MLB trade deadline.
The next area of focus is on who they will deal, and what they will look to get in return.
The 2026 trade deadline is officially scheduled for Monday, Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT). The Giants have been rumored to shop virtually everybody not named Casey Schmitt or Bryce Eldridge.
However, it looks like there has been a change of heart as to who's available and who's not.
Names such as Luis Arraez, Rafael Devers and Jung Hoo Lee have been floated around in trade rumors. Joining them in those trade rumors are Willy Adames, Robbie Ray, Landon Roup and Heliot Ramos.

Zoe Saldana stopped by CBS Mornings in New York today to promote the upcoming third season of Lioness, which premieres on 2 August.

I'm hoping Zoe is starting this press tour as she means to go on, because this made a refreshing change.
We all know how much the actress loves a black Saint Laurent lace dress. At this point, she and Zoë Kravitz must be neck and neck for the number of times they've worn one, so I always breathe a sigh of relief when she heads in a different direction.
On this occasion, she wore a look from the Willy Chavarria Spring 2027 collection, which debuted during Men's Fashion Week last month.

Unicaja has secured Willy Hernangómez's commitment. The Madrid-born center has accepted the offer from the club to play in Málaga next season after rejecting two other offers, one of them from PAOK Thessaloniki. The Spanish international will thus replace Olek Balcerowski, who signed for Barcelona a few days ago. Unicaja managed to convince Hernangómez after several days of negotiations and by improving their initial offer. This is a top-level signing, provided he improves upon the performances he has shown at times in recent seasons with Barcelona, his last team, where he played for the past three seasons.

Box Score
The road trip for the Brewers started out with the offense mostly silent. They were shut out by the Giants 3-0 on Monday, the fifth time they have been shut out all season. However, it's also the second time it's happened in the last six games.
Scoring chances were very limited tonight. The first came in the second inning. Jake Bauers hit a one-out single, then Andrew Vaughn drew a walk following a challenge. It set up an early scoring chance, but Garrett Mitchell grounded into a double play to end the inning.
Meanwhile, Brandon Sproat worked through the first two innings scoreless, but did have to work around a couple situations. In the first, Heliot Ramos hit a fly ball to right, and Bauers appeared to have an easy catch. However, it bounced out of his glove, and Ramos reached second on the error. Ramos would steal third, but Sproat kept him there with a strikeout and groundout.
The Giants got two more baserunners in the second. Casey Schmitt lead off the inning with a single, but had to come out of the game with a leg injury. Pinch-runner Christian Koss stole second and Willy Adames drew a walk, but Grant McCray hit into a double play and Sproat got out of the inning.

Job seekers are exhausted. Tired of shooting résumés into the void and getting ghosted, many have started paying for AI tools that blast their application out to every open role they can find. But according to Greenhouse CEO Daniel Chait, employers are just as miserable—and he's got a name for the hiring nightmare: an AI doom loop.
"This is the first time when really both sides have been unhappy," Chait told Fortune. "The market just isn't working for either side."
Job seekers, he says, are "piling more and more job applications into the black hole and not getting any progress." It doesn't matter how many they send—they "just don't get anywhere."
So they've turned to AI tools that make the process less painful. "You can go search on Google, and there are tools that advertise, use AI to automatically apply to every Greenhouse job," the jobs board boss said. "Someone goes and buys that tool, it's like 20 bucks, and now they can just shoot out job applications willy-nilly to as many jobs as they want."
On the other side of the inbox, recruiters are drowning. There are currently 175,000 live jobs on Greenhouse's platform—and on average, for every job ad posted, around 254 job seekers are applying, pushing applications per recruiter up by 412%.

It's been a season of frustration for former Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello as he navigates his first season managing the San Francisco Giants. On July 22, he was ejected for the third time this year.
Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino slid into second base after hitting a double down the right-field line at Kauffman Stadium, but his momentum caused a stumble as he tried to stand up. Giants shortstop Willy Adames quickly tagged Pasquantino, claiming he came off the base.
To the Giants' shock, second base umpire Mike Estabrook not only called him safe, but indicated that the play was dead because Pasquantino had been pushed off the bag by Adames.
Vitello was visibly frustrated after being told the play was not reviewable. After continuing to argue as he walked back to the dugout, he was ejected by third base umpire Lance Barrett.
"Obviously disagreed with the call," Vitello told reporters postgame. "Just asked if it couldn't be corrected. I don't know what the response was, but I just said it was a big call."

Apple recently filed a trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the AI company of a pattern of misconduct aimed at getting current and former Apple employees to share confidential information. (In response, OpenAI said it is "not aware of any evidence that this complaint has merit.")
On the latest episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O'Kane, and I debated whether this lawsuit will cast a shadow over OpenAI's much-discussed plans to get into the hardware business (starting with a mobile smart speaker) and go public.
"Even setting aside whether or not the court grants any kind of injunctive relief or any kind of restraining order over what OpenAI is doing, it just naturally can lead to that sort of situation where it's going to cause some delays in what OpenAI is working on," Sean suggested. "Which I'm sure was probably part of the reasoning behind Apple doing this. They don't do this stuff willy nilly."
With all those plans on the line, will OpenAI try to settle this as quickly as possible, or did it learn from its recent courtroom victory against Elon Musk that it can endure the cost and embarrassment of a trial? Kirsten, at least, predicts the latter.

Willy Sagnol believes Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery would be a good fit for Bayern Munich.
Speaking to Sport Bild, the former Bayern and France defender explains that he sees the 20-year-old as the type of player who would suit the German champions.
"I'm a big fan of Warren Zaïre-Emery. In terms of his profile, he is very Bayern-like," Sagnol said, adding:
"Zaïre-Emery has a great character, works hard and has developed very well technically."
With the 20-year-old facing strong competition for a starting spot in central midfield at PSG, Sagnol speculates that he could look for more playing time elsewhere.

In just over a month, Enzo Maresca will take charge of his first official match as the manager of Manchester City. City take on ******* nal in the FA Community Shield at the Principality Stadium on Sunday, August 16, following their preseason tour of Asia. Ahead of that match and the beginning of his first preseason as Manchester City's manager, Enzo Maresca now has his coaching staff all in place. All of the pieces needed for Maresca to begin a new era at City are now in place.
Last week, Manchester City confirmed the coaches that will join the club as members of Enzo Maresca's backroom staff. Roberto Vitiello, Willy Caballero, Danny Walker, Michele De Bernardin, Marcos Alvarez, Denis Silva and Javier Molina have all joined the club. The only two coaches remaining from Pep Guardiola's staff will be set-piece coach James French and goalkeeping coach Richard Wright. Each member of Enzo Maresca's coaching staff has worked with him previously, which will help Maresca begin his tenure as Manchester City manager with staff that he knows well.
With his coaching staff in place, Enzo Maresca now has all of the tools he needs in place to begin his time as Manchester City manager. Maresca will be surrounded by coaches that he has worked with previously. This should aid Maresca in quickly getting his philosophy across to the City squad, which will hopefully accelerate the bedding in process that Maresca will face with his new team.
With Enzo Maresca bringing in an entirely new group of coaches, there is a fresh feel to Manchester City. They are embarking on a new era, one without Pep Guardiola at the helm. Maresca will only have two of Pep Guardiola's staff at the club, which does allow him clean air in which to work. This can only be a positive for Enzo Maresca. While Pep Guardiola's presence will forever loom over City, Maresca will have a team in place to help him get his ideas across.
Manchester City have confirmed the coaches that will work with Enzo Maresca. All of the pieces are now in place for the Italian manager to get to work as the 2026-27 season looms around the corner.

The Mets need to stop pretending this season can still be rescued. That means trading Bo Bichette, Freddy Peralta, Luke Weaver, and Devin Williams before the deadline. None of those names should be moved willy-nilly. Bichette was supposed to become part of the next core, Peralta was acquired to stabilize the rotation, Weaver has been one of the more dependable arms on the staff, and Williams still carries the reputation of a proven closer. But the MLB standings matter more than the original plan.

The Mets are drifting toward irrelevance, and holding short-term pieces just to preserve the appearance of competitiveness would be the worst possible outcome. Bichette has dealt with ankle soreness and has not changed the direction of the season.
Peralta owns a 4.81 ERA and may still be the best trade chip on the roster because contenders always pay for starting pitching. Weaver has performed well enough to attract real interest. And Williams remains valuable because late-inning experience becomes expensive every July.
