So, just as I wrapped up Lupita Nyong'o's The Odyssey press tour, a new look has emerged.

We saw Samantha Morton's after-party look following the New York premiere, but Lupita's had remained under wraps until now.
The actress was spotted heading into the celebration wearing a Carolina Herrera Resort 2026 mini dress embroidered with intricate gold motifs against a black base.
The intricate embroidery has an ornamental quality that recalls the decorative friezes and motifs ******* ociated with ancient Greek art. That may not have been the collection's inspiration, but in the context of The Odyssey, it felt like a fitting visual connection.

Signs of Jon Bernthal, the Hollywood tough guy, can be found all over his Broadway dressing room. The kettlebell on the floor. The vitamin bottles strewn across his table. The grimacing photo from the Marvel TV series "The Punisher." The pit bull standing guard at the door.
But look further and an image of Jon Bernthal, the sensitive actor, swiftly emerges. The yoga block next to that kettlebell. The boxes of herbal tea next to those supplements. The photos of his wife, three children and two brothers. The fact that the pit bull, a rescue named Bam Bam, is a certifiable sweetheart who just wants head pats and a nice lap to rest his head on.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Bernthal asks as I scratch a blissed-out Bam Bam behind his ears. "Because once you start petting him … "
It's an early July afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre, and Bernthal has two days left of starring in a tumultuous stage adaptation of "Dog Day Afternoon." Long based in Ojai, California, the 49-year-old recently bought a home in D.C. to keep his family closer during his Broadway stint. And it was in the D.C. area, where Bernthal was born and raised, that his scrappier side was forged.

The 2026-27 Premier League season is just around the corner, and we know this to be the case because Liverpool are set to face Wrexham at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday — a timeless preseason ritual.
MORE — Preseason fixtures & results | Transfers completed
Liverpool are now under the leadership of Andoni Iraola, who just recently led Bournemouth to Europa League qualification before departing with a bigger job on his mind. Iraola replaces Arne Slot, who won the Premier League ***** le in his first season but was fired at the end of his second, in a transitional time for the club.
Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate and Andrew Robertson have all left, leaving a bit of a leadership and experience void in a squad that will undoubtedly be younger and greener this year. Will Iraola be able to develop young talent at Liverpool, the way he did at Bournemouth, or will the demand for results now, now, now alter his approach?

NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - The former JPMorgan Chase banker whose lurid ****** ual harassment lawsuit went viral added new claims and defendants on Monday, saying the largest U.S. bank's acceptance of racism and ****** ual coercion irreparably destroyed his career.
Chirayu Rana said racism was ingrained in the culture of his otherwise all-white leveraged finance team, where his South Asian heritage "became the punchline for a stream of degrading jokes," including calling him a "monkey" and "brown boy."
JPMorgan has said it believed Rana's allegations were meritless. Neither the bank nor its lawyers had an immediate comment.
In an 82-page complaint, Rana, who is of Nepali descent, added allegations that colleagues suggested he transact in rupees, and one texted that he should "run before we call ICEE {sic} on your family," referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart took exception to Draymond Green's critique of Jalen Brunson, who received plaudits for his financial sacrifice to help his team win this year's NBA championship.
Brunson left $113 million on the table when he signed a contract extension in July 2024 to give the Knicks more flexibility to build a stronger team around him. During a recent episode of the Club 520 podcast, Green thinks that a player of Brunson's caliber shouldn't have taken a discount
"It's the New York Knicks, bro. They can afford it. You ain't got to take no discount for them to get paid… He the top guy. Let Josh Hart or somebody else take less. They in my role. I don't know what he doing. That's $100 million," Green explained.

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees finally added a catcher on Tuesday … via a minor league contract.
The team signed veteran backstop Christian Bethancourt and ***** igned him to Triple-A before beating the White Sox, 3-2, in Chicago. The move shouldn't have any impact on the Yankees' pursuit of a righty-swinging catcher prior to the Aug. 3 trade deadline, though options appear limited for them and a handful of other needy clubs.
While Bethancourt is a right-handed hitter, he's ideally just another experienced Triple-A depth catcher for the Yankees alongside J.C. Escarra, a lefty. That depth could prove useful down the road since big league backup Ali Sánchez is out of minor league options.
Sánchez, a right-handed hitter who crushed the first homer of his career in Tuesday's win, would likely be forced out if the Yankees trade for a catcher to pair with the lefty-swinging Austin Wells.
Bethancourt has played in parts of eight big league seasons with the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs, but he hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2024. He had a .775 OPS (.783 vs. righties, .736 vs. lefties) over 59 games for the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate this year.

DUNEDIN, FL — Clay Holmes has been traded once before. He found out when he was going to the New York Yankees in the checkout lane of a Pittsburgh Target. Pirates GM Ben Cherington called him to tell him he had been traded and Holmes was quickly searching the aisles for a razor. He had a plane to catch and a beard to shave.
Now, five years later, he is on the block again. This time, he's a more known and wanted commodity, and because he has been on the injured list he has had 10 weeks to sit with it.
He doesn't love the uncertainty, but he's not dreading anything.
"It was such a good experience the last time, because I just took it for what it was and accepted it," Holmes said Tuesday night. "I am going to try and do that same thing this time. Whatever happens, I just try and come at it with a new perspective, fresh eyes and just enjoy it and just kind of hang on."
Hanging on is harder this week when the ride hasn't even started.

The Seahawks' contract standoff with Leonard Williams just took a new turn originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Seattle Seahawks star defensive tackle Leonard Williams is entering the final year of his current contract, but the two-time Pro Bowler isn't letting ongoing extension talks distract him from preparing for the 2026 season.
Williams confirmed Tuesday that his representatives and the Seahawks have had preliminary discussions about a new deal, though nothing has been finalized.
"There's been a few conversations, but nothing set in stone," Williams said.
The 32-year-old veteran is in the final season of the three-year, $64.5 million contract he signed in March 2024, just months after Seattle acquired him from the New York Giants during the 2023 season. Under the Seahawks' long-standing policy, players are not eligible for contract extensions until they have one year remaining on their current deal, making Williams eligible for negotiations this offseason.

Josh Hart responds to Draymond Green calling out Jalen Brunson and the Knicks originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jalen Brunson made headlines when he took a pay cut worth $100,000,000 with the New York Knicks. It ended up being successful because that was the key to the Knicks being able to sign players like Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby to bigger contracts.
Considering they were crucial to winning the championship, just like Brunson, it was worth it. Some people were not big fans of this, including Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, because he thinks the Knicks could have afforded it anyway.
It is not surprising that Green has been vocal about Brunson taking a pay cut. He has always been an advocate of players getting the most out of the teams that pay them, but Brunson was a different story. He had no issues with taking a pay cut, but it seems Green has an issue.
Most of the NBA world, including the players are used to hearing Draymond talk about the latest topics in the league. Considering he also has a part-time career as a member of the NBA media through podcasts and TV shows, it is nearly impossible not to hear from him.

Counting Stars has been shining bright during her three-year-old season
During the Spring and Summer, most of the Thoroughbred racing focus is on events like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes, and Travers Stakes. All these races are restricted to three-year-olds and mostly males run in them. For every race that has colts contending for greatness and notoriety, there is a sister race for those wonderful three-year-old fillies. During the 2026 racing season, a fantastic filly named Counting Stars has been quite celestial and is shining as bright as any three-year-old currently, regardless of gender.
The grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks has long been a summer showcase for the three-year-old girls. Inaugurated in 1917, this mile and an eighth dance over the New York dirt has seen its fair share of fantastic fillies. The 2026 edition was a showdown between Kentucky Oaks (opening leg of the Triple Tiarra) winner Always A Runner and Acorn Stakes (third leg and sister to the Belmont Stakes) champ Counting Stars. As the race unfolded, it became more of a showcase for a fabulous female.
Breaking alertly under jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., Counting Stars immediately ******* umed the lead and rolled through some solid early fractions (23.86 opening quarter mile, 47.60 half mile). Sashaying to the top of the stretch in an almost effortless fashion, this daughter of Honor A.P. was suddenly challenged by her rival and Oaks winner Always A Runner. With an eighth of a mile to go, the two were running side by side and separated by a whisker. Suddenly, the Stars aligned and with an amazing comet-like burst of speed, this mercurial filly trained by Mark Casse left her rival eating kickback as she whisked towards the wire. At the sixteenth pole the race was over and Counting Stars cruised past the finish an emphatic 4 ¼ lengths ahead in Stakes record time (1:48.98).
"Coming into the race I was about as confident as you can be in this filly", says trainer Mark Casse. "At the eighth pole, I wondered if perhaps I was wrong and she's not as good as I think. Always a Runner is a very good horse so naturally I was a little concerned, but then she responded to the challenge with a huge effort down the lane".

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Geno Smith is eager to get back to work for the New York Jets after off-field allegations this offseason had him concerned he could've been a "distraction" to the team.
The 35-year-old quarterback opened his news conference Tuesday after he and his teammates reported for training camp by addressing ******* ault accusations by a woman last month in Davie, Florida. After a short investigation, the case was closed without any charges filed.
"I really hate the fact that, you know, something I was a part of could have been a distraction for this team, my teammates, this organization because a lot of hard work's been put in," Smith said. "And a lot of guys have put a lot of work in for us to be in a good spot as a team. I'm happy that I'm able to put this behind me. I'm looking forward to moving forward and just continuing to build day by day with my guys."
Smith, in his second stint with the Jets after being acquired from Las Vegas in March, said he spoke with coach Aaron Glenn, general manager Darren Mougey and his teammates about the situation but didn't discuss any details. Smith also reportedly had two traffic violations in Florida during the offseason.
"Like I said, we'll put this behind us and we're moving forward," Smith said.

The New York Giants have a fighting chance to overtake their NFC East foes and win the division crown next season.
CBS Sports' John Breech ranked the Giants No. 3 overall in his ***** sment of each team that finished with the worst record in its respective division last season and its chances of going from worst to first in 2026.
If the Giants are going to have any chance of winning the division, they're going to need Jaxson Dart to take a huge step forward and he's going to have to do it while learning a new playbook that's being implemented by new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Bringing in Nagy certainly feels like a boom or bust decision: It could end up working out or it could end up derailing the season.
Of course, even if the offense is bad, the Giants could still contend, and that's because they have a scary defensive front. This is a team that could win games 13-10 if that's what they're forced to do.
The NFC East is strong. The Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning division champions. Despite losing A.J. Brown in a trade this offseason, they still possess the talent to finish well above .500, though a dip in the win column may occur after their 11-6 mark in 2025.

As Justin Baldoni's production company is deadlocked with Blake Lively over legal fees, another legal battle is coming to an end.
Wayfarer Studios, which Baldoni cofounded with investor Steve Sarowitz, has been ordered to pay the legal fees that The New York Times incurred in fighting a 2024 defamation lawsuit from the "It Ends with Us" studio.
In a July 27 order from New York Supreme Court Justice Gerald Lebovits, which was reviewed by USA TODAY, The New York Times Co. was determined to be entitled to $171,616.20 in damages. The company was seeking $181,622.70 in fees billed by outside counsel and its in-house legal team, but Lebovits did not agree that some fees were warranted.
The Times had sought attorney fees under New York's anti-Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation law after the claims against the newspaper in Wayfarer's federal lawsuit were dismissed in June 2025.

NWSL Week 13 saw an old storyline play out again, and the two sides involved end up top of table. Both expansion sides earned well-won victories, and Seattle will be wondering how they let a match get away from them. Racing Louisville were eyeing their first victory in a spell, only to see it vanish late.
The league's goal-scorers are doing what they are supposed to do, and new stars are emerging. Rose Lavelle brings the drama twice for Gotham, while Bay FC's Karlie Lema is making people take notice. Utah's terrific turnaround continues, and Portland stumbles again. In disheartening news, one of the league's young stars went down with a season-ending injury.
NWSL Week 13 featured joy, triumph, heartbreak and disappointment.
Gotham and Rose Lavelle have had Washington's number lately, and that number is 1-0. In last season's championship, the Gotham star scored late to give her side the ****** le. In the two team's latest meeting, Lavelle struck again for the only goal of the match.
This match was a highlight for the league this season. Gotham will be moving from New Jersey to the new Etihad Park in New York City in 2028, and this match showcased the new digs. To showcase what women's football can be in NYC, Gotham hosted the Spirit in front of more than 42,000 fans, the second largest regular-season crowd in NWSL history. While conditions were less than ideal, the teams put on a show for the fans in attendance.

Suri Cruise, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has legally dropped her father's last name and chosen a surname that honors her mother instead, according to a Page Six report.
Rather than adopting Holmes as her last name, Suri opted for Noelle, her mother's middle name. While it's unclear when she officially changed her last name, Page Six reported that she registered to vote in Allegheny County, Pa., under the name Suri Noelle during her freshman year at Carnegie Mellon University in October 2024. She first made headlines in June 2024, when she graduated from New York City's LaGuardia High School and was listed as Suri Noelle in the ceremony pamphlet.
The reported name change comes after years of estrangement from Cruise. Following her parents' divorce in 2012, Suri moved from Los Angeles to New York City with Holmes, who was granted full custody, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The Mission: Impossible star was ordered to pay $400,000 annually in child support, plus medical, dental, education and insurance expenses, until Suri turned 18, the outlet reported.
Before moving to Pittsburgh, Pa., Suri, who has often been described as the spitting image of her mother, was frequently spotted out and about in New York City.
"We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests," read a joint statement from Holmes and Cruise following their divorce in 2012. "We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."

The New York Yankees offense is struggling right now, and Cody Bellinger's injury only makes things worse.
The Yankees are currently without Aaron Judge, Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton. On top of that, they seem to have no actual solution for third base and shortstop, where Anthony Volpe and Ryan McMahon continue to struggle. Knowing Judge, Bellinger and Stanton could return soon, the Yankees are unlikely to add a superstar outfielder or designated hitter. However, adding an infielder could do wonders for the offense if that infielder were Luis Arraez.
Luckily for the Yankees, the San Francisco Giants will be sellers at the deadline, and Arraez is a rental they could look to deal away. He is hitting .326 with an .811 OPS on the year. He has improved his slugging while maintaining a high average. Not to mention, he is having an elite year defensively at second base. Defense was always seen as a downside for Arraez, but that is not the case this year.
How would Arraez fit in on the Yankees? Well, for starters, he would slot in at second base. That would allow the Yankees to move Chisholm to third base or shortstop, getting rid of either Volpe or McMahon as a regular. McMahon has already started to lose at-bats, so perhaps it's time the Yankees make a permanent change.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have suspended defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander for three weeks without pay following a drunken driving charge for an incident earlier this year.
The Vikings announced the punishment Tuesday as they began training camp. Alexander's suspension began Friday and will be in effect until Aug. 13, two days before their first preseason game at the New York Giants.
"I take full responsibility for the situation I put myself in and apologize for not meeting the mark," Alexander said in a statement released by the Vikings. "I know it's unacceptable. I understand the suspension and am committed to learning from the matter and ensuring I come back a better version of myself."
Alexander, who was also given the ****** le of defensive passing game coordinator, was hired in February to replace Daronte Jones, who became defensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders.
According to Hennepin County court records, Alexander pled guilty July 16 to a gross misdemeanor charge of third degree driving while impaired for refusal to submit to a chemical test. A fourth degree driving while impaired charge was dismissed. He was sentenced to 48 hours of community service, placed on two years of unsupervised probation and fined $603.

Cam Young will be looking to secure his third PGA Tour win of the season this week at the Rocket Classic.
Young has enjoyed a really successful season so far in 2026, but he has undoubtedly cooled off over the past couple of months.
The 29-year-old from New York won The Players Championship in March and then triumphed at the Cadillac Championship in May.
However, Cam Young has struggled for form since that victory at Trump National Doral.

The New York Yankees are one of the top teams in the American League but still trail the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the AL East.
They're expected to be aggressive at this year's trade deadline, with catcher and bullpen as the most glaring positional needs.
But to make a run to the World Series, general manager Brian Cashman should consider all options and upgrades to the roster.
According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the Yankees are expected to be one of five teams that will inquire with the Detroit Tigers about two-time Cy Young Award winner and impending free agent Tarik Skubal.

It seems like a good bet Joe Rogan will not be voting for James Talarico (D).
The podcast star-turned-Texan said he does not want The Lone Star state to be controlled by Democrats on the Tuesday episode of his show.
"The liberals who want to turn Texas Blue, like, don'tttt," Rogan pleaded. "You're going to ruin it. You're going to ruin it for you, too."
He told guest his guest, Animal Planet star Forrest Galante, the liberals in Texas are "way less crazy" than those in Los Angeles or New York. But he said would still prefer Texas stay Red, and only have a few dashes of Blue mixed in.
"There's a saying about Austin: Keep Austin Weird and Surrounded,'" Rogan said.
