Adriana La Cerva in The Sopranos. Ginger McKenna in Casino. Sofía Vergara's Griselda Blanco. For decades, the mob wife has been the archetypal anti-heroine – all fur, animal print and knee-high boots. Now Catherine Zeta-Jones has joined the ranks.
Shedding the gothic lace and American drawl of Morticia Addams in Netflix's Wednesday, Swansea-born Zeta-Jones is using her real Welsh accent on screen for the first time in Prime Video's revenge thriller Kill Jackie. She plays Jackie Price, an ex-cocaine dealer whose quiet life unravels when one routine decision ends with an elite squad of ******* assins hired to kill her.
Unsurprisingly, the series is already drawing comparisons with the BBC's Killing Eve. The series shares a director (Damon Thomas), a dark, twisted humour and puts a fierce, quirky woman at its centre. But the strongest link may be the wardrobe.
Just as Villanelle's Molly Goddard tulle dress became a character in its own right, Jackie's wardrobe – built on an enticing mix of British designers, vintage and second-hand – is every bit as scene-stealing, and serves as inspiration for how we'll want to dress this autumn.

The Venice Film Festival may revolve around cinema, but fashion has become an essential part of its annual spectacle. The 2026 edition once again transformed the Lido into a showcase for couture, sharp tailoring and unexpected styling. Stars moved between timeless black gowns, shimmering embellishments, relaxed suits and bursts of bright color. Some relied on archival fashion, while others arrived in custom creations designed specifically for the occasion. Together, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amal Clooney, Rooney and Kate Mara, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse and Pamela Anderson demonstrated just how varied festival dressing can be.
Jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal established a sophisticated tone with several dramatic black looks. For the opening, she selected an all black Celine ensemble featuring an off the shoulder twisted bodice. Another memorable appearance came in archival Armani Privé from the Fall 2015 collection. Rich velvet, sharply sculpted shoulders and crystal detailing around the plunging neckline gave the older design a fresh presence on the carpet.
Amal Clooney also embraced black with a custom Tom Ford creation by Haider Ackermann. Her appearance demonstrated the continuing appeal of streamlined eveningwear, with careful construction and texture doing much of the visual work. Rather than competing with the surroundings through excessive decoration, the gown relied on an elegant silhouette and refined details.
Sisters Rooney and Kate Mara offered two very different interpretations of evening glamour while promoting Bucking Fastard. Rooney remained close to her famously minimalist aesthetic in a black satin Louis Vuitton dress. A sleek fitted upper section expanded dramatically near the hem through gathers and voluminous fabric. Kate moved in the opposite direction with Armani Privé, choosing a black and white gown featuring a sparkling skirt and pearl embellished bodice.
Menswear also provided a change of pace. Robert Pattinson appeared in a relaxed white pinstripe suit while promoting Primetime, pairing it with a crisp shirt and striped tie. The slightly oversized proportions gave traditional tailoring a lighter feeling suited to Venice. Suki Waterhouse accompanied him in a pale green Saint Laurent lace two piece, bringing a softer color and delicate texture to the event.

Megan Skiendiel and Lara Raj of Katseye attended the Loewe spring 2027 fashion show at the Esplanade Saint Louis at the Château Vincennes on Friday during Paris Fashion Week, and they did so in two of Loewe's most interesting footwear silhouettes. Megan Skiendiel and Lara Raj attended the Loewe show on Friday in Paris. Swan Gallet Skiendiel wore a unique pair of shoes that are already causing conversation on social media. The singer's black leather caged mules featured a bright yellow insole visible at the open heel and through the cutouts at the front, providing a stark contrast against the black leather. The shoes feature distinct architectural toe-slit cutouts at the vamp, leaving the tips of each toe exposed. The mules stand tall on a thin block heel. She paired the contemporary mules with a black faux-leather pleated midi skirt with a silver buckle accent on the side. She styled the skirt with a brown, long-sleeve wrap-style cropped top.

Incredible footage of a tornado scraping along a mountaintop near Fruit Heights, Utah, on Friday surfaced online, with reports of the twister occurring at an elevation of about 7,500 feet (almost 2,300 metres).
When you're living near a mountainside, one of the last things you would expect to see moving fast at higher elevations would be a tornado, but that's what happened in Utah on Friday.
According to the Salt Lake City, Utah, branch of the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), a rare, strong twister occurred near Fruit Heights, Utah. The funnel first made contact with the ground near a summit along the ridgeline extending west from Francis Peak, at an elevation of about 7,500 feet (almost 2,300 metres).
Tornadoes are uncommon at very high elevation due to drier air and less favourable thunderstorm dynamics.

EXCLUSIVE: A Haitian gang member and illegal alien who defiantly told Fox News cameras "I'm not going back to Haiti" and shouted "Biden forever" during his viral U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest has been deported to Haiti by the Trump administration after spending 19 months in federal custody.
Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles was deported on an ICE flight originating in Louisiana, the Department of Homeland Security (Dhs) confirmed to Fox News.
Sources told Fox News that Charles was extremely combative aboard the aircraft and made crude, profane and threatening remarks about President Donald Trump and his family during the deportation flight.

Every sport has its unwritten rules, and one of the most universal is simple: Don't give your opponent "bulletin-board material." Don't say something that can be printed out, slapped on a wall, and pointed to by a coach looking for a little extra motivation. Don't give the other team a reason to make the game personal.
In the end, almost anything can be twisted into locker-room material in one way or another. When Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Zyon McCollum was asked how he felt about playing against one of the most talented offenses in the league in Week 1, he had plenty of ways he could have answered.
And he made a decision.
"We're going to have opportunities, guaranteed opportunities," he said when asked about his Week 1 opponents. "I mean, they want to get their season started off right. They want to get in rhythm early, so the ball is guaranteed to go in the air. And a ball in the air belongs to us. You know, that's the mentality that we have. That's what we're going into the game thinking. We know we're going to get tested early, so it's an incredible opportunity for us.
"There will be no better feeling than when we take away three, four interceptions."

American League triple-crown contender Yordan Alvarez is out of the Houston Astros' lineup for Friday due to a sore right ankle.
Alvarez twisted his ankle while running the bases in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He went 0-for-3 with 3 strikeouts against Phillies starter Zack Wheeler.
But Alvarez reached base in the eighth inning on an intentional walk from José Alvarado. He advanced to third base on a Jose Altuve double, but stumbled over the bag and was checked out by trainers.
Alvarez stayed in the game, but did not have to run on a Daulton Varsho pop-up. As the designated hitter, he didn't have to take the field in the bottom of the inning.
Astros manager Joe Espada said no imaging was necessary for Alvarez's ankle, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. He did some hitting earlier in the day and could be available to pinch-hit.

Amanda Seyfried went for an earthy color palette while attending the Tory Burch spring 2027 show during New York Fashion Week on Thursday. For the event, the actress paired one of the brand's most popular shoes with a fall-ready brown-and-green look. Amanda Seyfried attends the Tory Burch spring 2027 show. Getty Images for Tory Burch She opted for the Tory Burch Peep Toe pump, which has been a favored choice among celebrities in recent years. The peep-toe pump riffs on the classic style with a twisted, sculptural heel, designed to look as if it is in motion. Rather than reveal several toes like a traditional peep-toe silhouette, the cutout frames only the hallux, or big toe — a highly specific footwear trend that surfaced at Copenhagen Fashion Week at the end of August. Grosgrain details and side seaming borrow from balletic pointe shoes. The pumps were made in partnership with a Leather Working Group-certified tannery, which supports high standards in leather manufacturing and chemical management. Their twisted heels measure 90mm, or approximately 3.54 inches, while a cushioned leather footbed offers comfort. The shoes also boast a patent leather upper and grosgrain binding. Napa leather lining and a buffed leather sole complete the construction. A closeup

Despite Pamela Anderson being at the Venice Film Festival for her new film, Place to Be, the actress has also been making the most of her time in Venice with several appearances, including the amfAR Venezia gala, where she received the Award of Courage for her advocacy and charitable work.

And if there is one thread connecting her Venice wardrobe so far, it is colour. Pamela has moved from coral pink to vivid clementine and wisteria, with each look offering a different take on glamour.
Oscar de la Renta has become something of a go-to label for Pamela, and this coral-pink cape-effect gown makes it easy to understand why.
The colour is beautiful on her, but it is the cape that sells this for me. Draped across one shoulder and secured with an embellished floral brooch, it gives a relatively simple gown far more presence.

When Pamela Anderson was diagnosed with hepatitis C in the late '90s, there was no cure.
"It was a death sentence. That's what my doctor told me — that I probably had around 10 years to live," the "Baywatch" star recalled in a moving speech at the amfAR Gala in Venice. "I'm sure that colored and corrupted my decisions. It was not fear of death, but fear of what might happen to my young children. It turned my life inside out."

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has confirmed Mats Wieffer will be sidelined until next month with a knee injury.
The right-back was forced off during Brighton's 4-3 defeat by Chelsea after being struck in the face by the ball, causing him to lose his balance and injure his knee.
Hurzeler explained the unusual injury by comparing it to a boxer being knocked off balance.
"I can explain this quite easily because I also like to watch boxing," Hurzeler said.
"Sometimes in boxing, when someone gets like a hit, then you see how weak his legs go and then the legs get in very strange positions and then it might happen that your knee gets injured or your ankle gets twisted.

As its standoff with LSU intensifies, the SEC is receiving some support from beyond the conference and its member universities.
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is encouraging SEC commissioner Greg Sankey to take "all measures available" against the Tigers if they field a team featuring former NFL players returning to college, and to "use all legal means necessary to protect the University of Georgia, student athletes, and the integrity of college athletics," according to a letter from Carr to Sankey obtained by ESPN on Wednesday, Sept. 2.
Those potential punishments could escalate to suspending and/or removing LSU from the conference, of which it has been a member since the league's founding in 1932.
REQUIRED READING: LSU tested SEC's authority. The conference's response is raising eyebrows
"College athletics are for college athletes only, and we are grateful the SEC has taken swift action to maintain that standard," Carr wrote in the letter, according to ESPN. "However, the rules cannot be ignored or twisted to benefit one coach, one institution, or one program, and we refuse to stand by while that happens."

Horror keeps finding Owen Teague.
The 27-year-old actor has become one of the genre's most recognizable young faces, starring in three Stephen King adaptations, including the It franchise. Now, he's the terrifying figure hiding in Netflix's buzzy new crime thriller, The Whisper Man.
"I am attracted to things that are a little bit twisted. I think it's my sense of humor," Teague tells Yahoo, then laughing: "It's also my face."
The irony here is that Teague doesn't watch many horror movies himself.

NEW YORK - George Lombard Jr. is not in Sunday's Yankees lineup, but the hope is that he's day-to-day with right knee inflammation.
The rookie shortstop exited Saturday's second game of a doubleheader after three innings, having twisted awkwardly on a check swing in his first at-bat.
An MRI taken late Saturday showed no structural damage. Lombard wasn't sure if he'd be an available player Sunday.

Aug. 29— The Southland football team started this season where their last one ended, but the result was much different this time around.
After being knocked out of the Section 1A playoffs by Lewiston-Altura in 2026, the Rebels scored a revenge win and beat the Cardinals 48-22 in a zero week game in Lewiston Friday night.
The game was tied at 22 late in the second quarter when Henry Wiste found Tate Goergen for a 15-yard score to give the Rebels (1-0 overall) a 28-22 halftime edge.
Wiste, who threw two TDs and ran for three scores, hit Lucas Boe for an 11-yard TD in the third quarter and Cael Smith ran an interception back 51 yards for a TD to make it 42-22 Southland.

Jamal Musiala used to be the fun, new at Bayern Munich that could do no wrong. He twisted and turned past all the defenders with his mesmerizing dribbling and dazzled the crowds with the #42 on his back.
That time is over now, though. Musiala has given up the #42 for the #10 for both club and country while becoming one of Bayern's biggest earners and most important players all at the same time. With this added pressure comes the need to perform despite that baggage.
However, Musiala has a system for dealing with this pressure. Speaking to Sport Bild (as captured by iMiaSanMia), he elaborates on what he does: "I need no pressure from outside because I put enough pressure on myself. What I say about myself carries more weight than what others say. That naturally influences your self-image. When I make a mistake and then dwell on it too much, it doesn't help me. I try to stay calm and keep a cool head."
Bayern Munich will hope Musiala can take that cool head and use it to catch fire in the 2026/27 season. Of course, the recent developments with his "neurological absences" have cause concern for fans, but Musiala appears confident that he can overcome the ailment and get back to his old self soon.

She said yes to the dress — then found herself in a bridal battle royale.
Bride-to-be Shaina Franklin has racked up millions of views documenting a bitter battle with a California bridal shop that began over allegedly botched alterations, and exploded when the store posted her wedding gown online weeks before she walked down the aisle.
Now, the internet is furiously debating over who committed the bigger faux pas.
The saga began when the TikTok fitness influencer took to social media to complain about alterations on her wedding gown at San Diego bridal store, Bridal and Veil, claiming the work left her dream dress looking like a Frankenstein version of itself shortly before her big day.
In videos cautioning other brides by sharing her experience with the store, Franklin described her dress as being "wadded" around the ribs, having twisted ******* ons and a zipper that ran sideways. Ultimately, the store ended up ordering Franklin a new dress that she took elsewhere to get altered.

Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette missed Friday night's preseason game with what head coach Dave Canales described as a foot and ankle injury.
Legette had his ankle rolled up on in practice on Wednesday, and Canales said the Panthers don't know definitively how much time he'll miss.
"He got his ankle twisted up, he has some soreness in his foot, so we evaluated him," Canales said. "Right now we're going to get him back going little by little. Hopefully we'll see him at the end of this week, but I can't tell you exactly when he'll be back, but we'll just have to take it day by day and go with whatever is happening in his foot."
The Panthers took Legette in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, and through two seasons he's been a disappointment, with just 84 catches for 860 yards and seven touchdowns in 31 games. Legette acknowledged in June that he can't have another year like he had last year. To have a better year, Legette needs to get healthy and stay healthy.

For the second straight preseason contest, the Carolina Panthers decided to roll out their starters for a little action. But not all of the first-stringers got out on the field at EverBank Stadium on Friday.
Outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips, inside linebacker Devin Lloyd and wide receiver Xavier Legette were among the 12 Panthers who were ruled out prior to kickoff against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Dave Canales, following his team's 34-17 win, would explain why.
"There were a few guys who had some soreness. We were gonna be sensitive with some of those guys—particularly Jaelan Phillips, Devin Lloyd," Canales told reporters. "Felt great finishing after the [joint] practice, but had a couple of other things sore. We just decided to hold them out."
Canales was then asked about Legette—who, along with his civilians, was sporting a boot on his right foot.
"He got his ankle twisted up. He has some soreness in his foot," he replied. "So, we evaluated him. Right now, we're just gonna get him back going little by little. And hopefully, we'll see him at the end of this week.

Season 10 of Dana White's Contender series is in full swing, with the second week of the season bringing 10 new UFC prospects into the Octagon at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
It was a night full of impressive finishes, but nothing could have prepared fans for the exclamation mark Kaik Brito was going to put on the night.
After Trent Miller submitted Douglas Rodrigues in the co-main event with a Von Flue choke, Brito put a stamp on the event with a spectacular knockout just 12 seconds into the third round.

De'Zhaun Stribling's first NFL action doubled as a reality check he set for himself, even after he had a great debut.
The San Francisco 49ers' second-round pick led the team in the preseason opener against the ******* ans, catching seven of eight targets for 63 yards. The signature moment came on third-and-5 in the second quarter, when Stribling twisted through contact for a 32-yard gain to move the chains.
Despite the success, Stribling wasn't ready to call it a finished product. Speaking with Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein after the game, the rookie receiver pointed to a few areas he can shore up as he continues his NFL journey.
"A lot of things I can clean up," Stribling said. "A lot of things I can be better at [with my] route running and then details of the offense."
He also flagged his get-off as an emphasis point, saying he wants to better time the snap count so he can accelerate into his routes faster and pressure defensive backs with straight-line speed rather than relying on route craft alone.

Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal was taken to hospital for precautionary scans after suffering an awkward fall while attempting to save a boundary during India's second innings on Day 4 of the first Test at the Galle International Stadium on Tuesday. The incident occurred during the fourth over of India's second innings when Chandimal sprinted from deep midwicket towards deep square leg to stop a shot from KL Rahul.

Chandimal managed to save two runs but tumbled awkwardly after crossing the boundary. His body twisted over his upper body during the fall, leaving him in visible discomfort.

The Sri Lankan batter was seen clutching his right shoulder, head and neck immediately after the incident. He was ******* sed on the field by the Sri Lankan team doctor and physiotherapist before gingerly walking off the ground. He was subsequently taken to hospital for precautionary scans. Further updates on his condition are awaited.

Meanwhile, Pasindu Sooriyabandara will replace Dinesh Chandimal as the concussion replacement. The match referee has approved the concussion replacement.
Meanwhile, India strengthened their position in the Test during the opening session on Day 4. After bowling Sri Lanka out for 284 on Day 3, India took a 174-run first-innings lead and reached 116/4 at lunch, extending their overall advantage to 294 runs.

India suffered an early blow when Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for a duck by Asitha Fernando off the third ball of the opening over.

KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal then steadied the innings, putting together a 64-run partnership for the second wicket. Rahul scored 35 before Prabath Jayasuriya dismissed him, while Jayasuriya also removed India captain Shubman Gill for 8.

Padikkal continued to counter the Sri Lankan bowlers and made 44 before being trapped lbw shortly before lunch. Rishabh Pant was unbeaten on 21 at the interval.

India in commanding position

At lunch, India were 116/4 in 29 overs, with a commanding overall lead of 294 runs.

Brief scores: India 462 & 116/4 (Rishabh Pant 21*, Devdutt Padikkal 44; Prabath Jayasuriya 2/42) lead Sri Lanka 284 by 294 runs.

Former child star Hayden Panettiere has died at 36. While the actor is perhaps best known for her roles in TV series like Heroes, where she played an indestructible cheerleader, and Nashville, where she portrayed a rising country star, to horror fans, she'll forever be known as one of the Scream franchise's most iconic final girls, Kirby Reed.
Scream 4 marked Panettiere's first appearance in the film franchise. Her character was a cool Woodsboro High School student who sported a pixie cut and could rattle off horror film trivia. Her passion for horror was central to the movie's final act, in which her character is caught by Ghostface and forced to play one of his twisted games. Ultimately, she is stabbed by one of the Ghostface killers and left for dead.
Kirby's fate was never revealed in that movie, and fans always hoped that she would return to the franchise in a sequel. In 2022, the long-anticipated Scream premiered as both a sequel and a reboot of the franchise, but Panettiere did not appear in the film. Her fate was revealed through an Easter egg in the movie, when a character is looking at a YouTube page and an interview with Kirby, a survivor of the Woodsboro stabbing, appears.
Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts in Scream 4.
"We wanted to answer the Kirby question in some way from the beginning," co-director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin told Nerdist in 2022. "We just didn't really know what that would be. There was a period during the pre-production where we thought we might be able to even get her in this movie. We had a zoom with her and she was lovely. And she was like, 'I love Kirby, I'd love to be in it.'"

CharlesJohnson claims he's proficient in the Scottish twister.

Johnson (20-9) was originally scheduled to fight Jose Ochoain an Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight tilt. However, Ochoawithdrew after the tragic death of his Chute Boxe teammate, AllanNascimento.

Dana White's Contender Series graduate EduardoHenrique stepped up on three days' notice to replace Ochoaagainst Johnson, who earned a bonus for a sensational and raresubmission.
While Henrique was efficient on the feet, Johnson wore him out witha well-rounded approach. As Henrique was trying to reverse atakedown, "InnerG" caught him in a Scottish twister to force thetap in the third round. Johnson's Scottish twister was the secondever in UFC history, following MurtazaliMagomedov's win over MelsikBaghdasaryan this past June.

Johnson claims he regularly trains the move in practice andsuccessfully lands it at least once a week. The flyweight veteranalso revealed that he learned the move from former BellatorMMA bantamweight champion Patrick"Patchy" Mix.

"I hit that at least once or twice a week on people in practice, soit's just about getting there," Johnson said at the post-fightpress conference. "Patchy Mix actually showed me that move, so I'mgoing to give him his flowers, man. He showed it to me about a yearand a half ago."

Johnson has struggled for consistency in his last six outings, buthas remained active, already recording four fights this year.

Charles Johnson turned in one of the rarest submissions in UFC history earlier tonight (Sat., Aug. 15, 2026) at UFC 330 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Penn., as the flyweight veteran spoiled Eduardo Chapolin's Octagon debut with a third-round Scottish twister.
This is only the second Scottish twister in UFC history. The first occurred earlier this year at UFC Vegas 119 courtesy of Murtazali Magomedov (watch it HERE).
Johnson, who was originally expected to fight Jose Ochoa before the latter pulled out, had no issue accepting Chapolin on short notice. Oddsmakers had the flyweight bout almost even, but most expected Chapolin to deliver a memorable UFC debut. Unfortunately for Chapolin, Johnson once again proved he's one of the toughest outs in the division and a true prospect killer Remember, "Inner G" has knockout wins over the likes of Joshua Van and Lone'er Kavanagh.
The fight was an entertaining back-and-forth offering both striking and grappling. Chapolin was deducted a point in the first round for an illegal knee and eye poke, but they weren't enough to stop Johnson from continuing the fight. Good thing he did because Johnson was able to drag Chapolin to deep water and take his back early into the third round. Chapolin dropped to the canvas and during the transition Johnson was able to lock up the twister and force the stoppage. It was sensational.
Check out the video highlights below:

PHILADELPHIA – The UFC flyweight division continues to deliver in 2026.
On the UFC 330 prelims Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena, Charles Johnson topped off a thrilling 130-pound catchweight bout with a third-round Scottish twister submission win over days' notice fill-in Eduardo Chapolin. The stoppage came at 1:36 of Round 3.
Although Johnson (20-9 MMA, 9-7 UFC) walked away victorious, the win didn't come easy. Chapolin (15-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) proved to be a worthy test and will be one UFC fans circle on the bout sheet whenever he returns with a full camp.
Chapolin flowed well in the early stages of the fight, though he fouled Johnson with an illegal knee that resulted in a point deduction from referee Jason Herzog. The second round turned into a bit of a banger, with both men showcasing the elite speed and technical abilities the UFC's lightest male division is known for.
After the win, Johnson dedicated the performance to Allan Nascimento, the UFC flyweight fighter who died earlier in August from a heart attack. Johnson was originally scheduled to face Nascimento's teammate Jose Ochoa on the card, but Ochoa withdrew earlier in fight week.

Charles Johnson showed he has more than a few tricks up his sleeve after pulling off the rare Scottish twister submission to dispatch Eduardo Chapolin at UFC 330 on Saturday.
Originally scheduled to face Jose Ochoa until just a few days ago, Chapolin accepted the fight and nearly pulled off the upset after the cracked Johnson with a stiff shot that dropped the veteran flyweight in the second round. But Johnson showed off his signature durability as he bounced back and recovered between rounds.
In the third, Johnson looked like the fresher fighter as he started dishing out punishment until a scramble led to him taking Chapolin's back momentarily. As Chapolin tried to reverse positions, Johnson made him pay by immediately grabbing onto the Scottish twister with the tap coming just seconds later.
The official stoppage came at 1:36 in the third round.
"That's my ****** ," Johnson said about his submission finish. "I've been training diligently. We worked our ****** off. I kind of made him feel he could turn in and I had it."

But Clark returned for the third quarter and finished out the game with an incredible stat line (see below). She had come into the game probable with a back injury as well.
After the game, she delivered her own injury update, via the Indianapolis Star: "I just landed on her foot. I feel good, and obviously I was moving perfectly fine, so I'll ice it and be good to go."
She finished with 29 points, 10 ****** ists, one steal and just one turnover on 11-of-18 shooting.
