Peach PRC risked a wardrobe malfunction as she attended the 2024 ARIA Awards in Sydney on Wednesday. The Australian pop star slipped into a risqué crochet two-piece that revealed her underwear as she posed on the red carpet. She also almost bared her chest as the top part of the glittering outfit perilously hung off her slender frame. The musician adorned herself in jewels, rocking a garter belt on her thigh dripping with butterfly-shaped motifs. The pop princess also wore a butterfly belly chain and very high lucite heels. She met fans and signed autographs, moving carefully so her ensemble barely moved an inch. The singer came under fire earlier this year for a music video that featured a nude strip search scene in a women's prison and depicts the death penalty. The Adelaide-born star began teasing clips of the music video for her new single Time of My Life in August Her fans lashed out at the her in the comments of her promotional posts on both TikTok and Instagram. The music video begins with Peach dressed in her trademark pink fairy look and sees her posing for a prison mug shot. 'Why are we glorifying prison?' one fan asked in the comments section of Peach's Instagram post of the clip. 'Cosplaying women's prisons is so gross!' exclaimed another. Fans of the Josh hitmaker were quick to tell Peach that they thought her choice of music video theme, filmed during a recent press tour in the United States, was 'out of touch'. One user said the 'gross romanticisation' in the video was 'incredibly disappointing to see'. 'I don't understand why this stuff is in the video,' another added. 'It already felt iffy to do a prison thing, but the whole ending is so uncomfortable.' The self-described 'lesbian singer' is based in Sydney and has 2.2 million followers on TikTok. Replying to a few of the negative comments, some of which appear to have been deleted, Peach hit back at her fans who criticised the video. 'Maybe art isn't made to be always palatable and comfortable but also maybe I don't have complete control and oversight of every single thing that gets made,' she replied to the fan who said they didn't understand the choice. Peach PRC is the stage persona of Shaylee Curnow, a former stripper from Adelaide who dropped out of school in Year 10. She is one of Australia's most prominent social media personalities and rose to international fame by sharing stories of her struggles with addiction, mental health, trauma, and relationships on TikTok . Peach PRC's debut EP, Manic Dream Pixie, rocketed to the top of the ARIA Album Charts in May 2023 shortly after its release. However, the young star struggles with anxieties around performing live at major festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, Spilt Milk, and Falls Festival and has regularly spoken about this on TikTok.

Shortly after concluding his "F-1 Trillion" tour — which formally introduced his country music side to fans across the U.S. — Post Malone has announced his biggest tour yet. Next year, the rapper-turned-country artist will headline 25 stadiums across North America — his first stadium tour. And he'll kick it off near his Utah home. Post Malone will kick off 2025 stadium tour in Salt Lake City</h3> On Tuesday, Malone announced a 2025 stadium tour that will start at Salt Lake City's Rice-Eccles Stadium — a 51,000 seat venue that in recent years has welcomed country superstars like Garth Brooks , Luke Combs, George Strait and Chris Stapleton. The Utah show, slated for April 29, will feature a mix of the singer's biggest hits, fan favorites and songs from his debut country album, "F-1 Trillion," according to a news release shared with the Deseret News. "F-1 Trillion" received a Grammy nomination for best country album, and includes the hit "I Had Some Help," which sat at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for six consecutive weeks. The show at Rice-Eccles will also mark Malone's second concert in Utah in less than a year. Just a couple of months ago, the singer kicked off his "F-1 Trillion" tour at West Valley City's Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre — and he didn't hold back when it came to sharing his love for the Beehive State. "Moving here to this amazing state was one of the best things I've done in my life, besides have a baby girl," Malone told his cheering fans, according to a video shared by Salt Lake-based country radio station The Bull on TikTok . "I moved to L.A. when I was a kid, and I was like, 'Hey this is not kind of where I want to be.' So I did a show here right on the Salt Flats, and I was like, 'This place rocks.' ... Like a week later we bought a house here. I gotta say, Utah is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and I'm so grateful and so honored to be a resident here, ladies and gentlemen." The singer, who lives in Cottonwood Heights, has previously called Utah an " oasis " away from Hollywood. Despite his heavy touring schedule, he's been fairly active in his Utah community. He performed at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, lent his eclectic style to the salmon pink Raising Cane's location in Midvale and donated a signed acoustic guitar to help raise money for the Utah Honor Flight Program. Malone won't be alone when he kicks off his tour in Utah next year; he's bringing in singer-songwriter Sierra Ferrell, and country star Jelly Roll — who like Malone could soon become a Utah resident. Jelly Roll (a potential Utah resident) is joining Post Malone on tour</h3> Jelly Roll, known for hits like "Save Me" and "Need a Favor," kicked off his 54-stop "Beautifully Broken" tour in Salt Lake City earlier this year — and dropped a bombshell during the sold-out concert. "I've got to take a second to go off script. I could not have asked for a better first night of this tour y'all. I want y'all to know this place is one of the most beautiful places," Jelly Roll said during his Delta Center concert. "I truly could not have asked for a better way to open this tour. I could not have asked for a better crowd tonight, Salt Lake City." And then he made a bold declaration: "I've decided I'm going to buy a house in Park City." Before that concert, Jelly Roll also left kids a $700 tip at a lemonade stand in West Valley City, per the Deseret News . "We were so thirsty, that we wanted to come bless y'all," the singer said as he handed out the tip. "We don't need no change. You keep that tip, OK? You go buy you something really nice, alright, because you worked hard." Jelly Roll will return to Utah to join Post Malone at Rice-Eccles Stadium, along with singer-songwriter Sierra Ferrell. How to get tickets for Post Malone's Rice-Eccles Stadium show</h3> Fans across the U.S. and Canada can register for access to tickets in the artist presale now at signup.ticketmaster.com/postmalone , according to the news release. The artist presale begins Nov. 22, and tickets go on sale to the general public Nov. 26 at 12 p.m. local time at livenation.com . Post Malone's tour follows another recent show announcement for Rice-Eccles Stadium. This past September, Live Nation announced that Billy Joel and Sting will co-headline a show at Rice-Eccles on May 23 — about a month after Post Malone's show. Jason Farrell, president of Live Nation Utah, said that concert "is sure to be one of the biggest concert experiences of 2025′′ and noted that Utah has become a "destination for music artists of all sizes," the Deseret News reported.

Jason Kelce is turning ESPN's "Monday Night Football" broadcasts into his own personal fashion show. The former Philadelphia Eagles star, who joined ESPN's broadcast team after retiring from the NFL in March 2024, swiftly settled into his new role as a commentator and captured viewers' attention each week by showing off his evolving sense of style. For the latest broadcast, Kelce appeared to channel his inner cowboy in honor of the Nov. 18 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans. The retired athlete appeared on "Monday Night Countdown" wearing a denim collared shirt, bolo tie, brown suspenders and a matching wide-brimmed Western hat. When fellow "Monday Night Countdown" crew member and retired NFL player Marcus "Swagu" Spears asked Kelce if he owned the bolo tie before he touched down in Dallas in a clip shared on X, the 37-year-old replied, "No, I got it right off the plane ... and the hat." Spears, who played for the Cowboys from 2005 to 2012, shook Kelce's hand and said, "I appreciate you ingratiating yourself in the Texas culture." Kelce then clarified, "This is not a cowboy hat," before adding that he could never leave his Philly roots behind. While Kelce was happy to cosplay as a rancher for a few hours, some social media users playfully teased his look, suggesting that he missed the mark. Barstool Sports' Steven Cheah tweeted , "Jason Kelce looks like a Brooklyn mixologist waiting for your $26 drink order." Another joked that Kelce resembled Victor French's character Mr. Edwards from "Little House on the Prairie." A third said Kelce "looks like he's gonna rustle your cattle." One account thought the former athlete looked like Smokey Bear, the iconic character in wildfire prevention ads. "Jason Kelce here to remind you that 'Only you can prevent forest fires,'" the X user wrote . One Swiftie decided to make a Taylor Swift reference given that the singer is dating Kelce's younger brother, Travis Kelce, and said , "Jason kelce is serving cowboy like me." Even the official account for the "New Heights" podcast, which the Kelce brothers host together, joined in on the fun. "Jason's lookin like a Texas local with this fit," the account tweeted . Kelce has been trying out different looks since he made his ESPN debut during the NFL preseason in August. Here a look at what he's worn on previous shows: Aug. 1, 2024: Jason Kelce channels the Olympics</h2> While on ESPN's "NFL Countdown" on Aug. 1, Kelce paired a gray suit with a navy beret decorated with Olympics pins . "I'm still on Paris time. So I figured I'd go with the Paris headdress," he explained, referencing his travels over the summer to the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sept. 9, 2024: Jason Kelce's colleague draws attention to his tight shirt</h2> On Sept. 9, Kelce was called out about a slight wardrobe mishap while on TV. ESPN commentator Scott Van Pelt revealed that Kelce was "wearing a shirt he got at the mall because he left his travel bag in the truck." Kelce said the shirt was "struggling" around his chest area as some skin peeked through between the buttons. Sept. 16: Jason Kelce busts out a green tracksuit</h2> Kelce returned to Philadelphia for the "Monday Night Football" game between the Eagles and Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 16 and sported a green tracksuit to show support for his former team. He later changed into a button-down shirt and blazer . Oct. 14, 2024: Jason Kelce resembles Fred Flintstone</h2> On Oct. 14, he embraced the Buffalo Bills Mafia and wore a Fred Flintstone costume over a blue suit with a matching fuzzy hat with horns. After taking off the costume, he added a chicken wing necklace to complete his look, as the Bills' official X account pointed out. Oct. 28, 2024: Jason Kelce wears a newsboy cap</h2> When the Pittsburgh Steelers faced the New York Giants on Oct. 28, he wore a newsboy cap and matching jacket . Next up, football fans will get to see what Kelce embraces for the "Monday Night Football" game between the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 25.

Jason Kelce shows off a variety of outfits on ESPN's "Monday Night Football." Here's a look at what he's worn so far.

QUESTION: Were all Steve Jobs's clothes made by the same designer? Apple co-founder Steve Jobs's signature black polo necks were all made by Issey Miyake , a renowned Japanese fashion designer known for his minimalist and innovative style. Jobs wore a very consistent 'uniform' of black polo neck, Levi's 501 jeans and New Balance trainers. On a trip to Japan in the early 1980s, Jobs noticed that many workers at Sony were wearing uniforms. Intrigued by this, he asked Sony's chairman, Akio Morita, about it. Morita explained that after the Second World War , uniforms were introduced as a way to unify the workforce and build camaraderie. Jobs wanted to create a uniform for Apple employees but this was not well received by the Apple team so he pivoted and commissioned Miyake to design his own 'personal uniform' instead. Miyake designed the polo necks specifically for Jobs, who reportedly owned dozens of them. He retired the design after Jobs's death in 2011. This choice allowed Jobs to simplify his daily routine, focusing his energy on work instead of on his wardrobe, and it became an unmistakable part of his public image. Maria Clarke, Congleton, Cheshire QUESTION Where are the world's most extreme golf courses? The term 'extreme' is open to interpretations. There are those that are extreme due to the length or difficulty of the holes, those where the terrain is extreme and those where the weather is extreme (sometimes both). There are even those where the wildlife is extreme. Uummannaq, Greenland, is the coldest golf course in the world. Hundreds of miles north of the Arctic Circle, it is home to the World Ice Golf Championship. The longest golf course in the world is the Nullarbor Links in Australia, which is 1,365km (848 miles) long. It runs alongside the Eyre Highway from Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, to Ceduna, South Australia, with the holes starting next to truck stops or visitor centres en route. Many of the holes are in barren desert, so it's allowed for the ball to be teed up on the fairways. Coober Pedy in the opal fields of South Australia is totally barren, and golfers carry a piece of artificial grass on which to place their ball for each shot. Balls hitting rocks tend never to be seen again, as they ricochet off at odd angles. The 'greens' are made less dusty by soaking the sand in oil. The hottest golf course is at Furnace Creek in California's Death Valley. In July 1972, the ground temperature was recorded as 93.9C. Furnace Creek is also the lowest course in the world at 214 ft below sea level. The La Paz course in Bolivia is the highest, at 10,650 ft above sea level. While the mountain scenery is stunning, there are numerous canyons and cliffs to negotiate while trying to breathe the thin air. In terms of difficulty, two stand out. High sea cliffs are a feature of both. One is the Thracian club in Bulgaria, with seven holes where hitting straight is essential if you ever want to see your ball again. The second is Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand. Not only are there sea cliffs but also deep ravines to be negotiated. It is rated as one of New Zealand's premier golf courses. If you like wildlife, at the Skukuza Golf Club in the Kruger National Park in South Africa, you should look out for lions on the course. And, in 2014, a man was dragged into a lake and killed by a crocodile there. For a time, the Carbrook Golf Club in Queensland, Australia, had bull sharks in one of its water hazards. Bob Cubitt, Northampton QUESTION What is lucid dreaming? Lucid dreaming is a state where a person becomes aware they are dreaming while still in the dream, often gaining the ability to control or manipulate the dream's events. This occurs during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) phase of sleep, when most vivid dreaming happens. You can train yourself to have lucid dreams, using various techniques. Reality Testing: Practising small 'reality checks' during waking hours, such as counting fingers or looking at clocks, can help you recognise when you are in a dream. Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams: Setting an intention to recognise when you're dreaming, often by repeating a phrase such as 'I will know I am dreaming' before you go to sleep. Wake Back to Bed: Setting an alarm to wake you during REM sleep, then returning to sleep soon after, can increase the chances of lucid dreaming. The interest in lucid dreaming is often linked to its potential benefits, such as reducing nightmares, increasing creativity and even enhancing problem-solving skills. Film director Christopher Nolan says he began practising lucid dreaming and dream manipulation as a teenager, and that his dreams inspired his movie Inception. R. K. Phillips, Salford

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: Were all Steve Jobs' clothes made by the same designer?

Brandon Armstrong 's biggest cheerleader in the ballroom is his "professional dance wife," Brylee Armstrong. The Dancing with the Stars pro first saw Brylee on a dating app, prompting him to message her on Instagram. The Utah natives soon began dating before getting engaged in March 2022 and marrying in July of that same year. In February 2022, Brandon shared a sweet Valentine's Day tribute on Instagram outlining a few of the reasons why he loved Brylee. "You love unconditionally! Since the first time we met I've noticed that you are loving to everyone and everything! Especially your friends and family! I'm privileged to be apart of that love now," the DWTS pro wrote. "The time I spend with you is better than all the time I've ever spent without you!" he continued. "It doesn't matter as long as I'm with you I feel like I'm where I'm suppose to be!" So who is Brandon Armstrong's wife? Here's everything to know about Brylee Armstrong and her relationship with the DWTS pro. She's from Utah </h2> Brylee grew up in Spanish Fork, Utah, before moving to Salem, Utah, where she spent most of her childhood. Reflecting on her upbringing during an October 2024 appearance on Weekly Trash , she described Salem as having a "small-town feel where everyone knows everybody." Her parents raised her alongside two brothers, one who was four years older and the other six years younger. Despite the age gaps, she considered their family dynamic to be "really close." While the whole family was tight-knit, Brylee shared a particularly special bond with her mom, whom she nicknamed her "momager." She played a key role in helping Brylee navigate a packed schedule of school and extracurricular activities during her "super busy" years. As for her education, Brylee shared on the podcast that it felt like the "High School Musical experience," adding that "everyone does a sport, everyone's involved, it's like happy-go-lucky." Although she and Brandon now split their time between Utah and Los Angeles, Brylee revealed that it's their "dream" to have a home in Utah, close to the duo's friends and family. She grew up a competitive dancer </h2> Brylee may not be a pro on DWTS like her husband, but she did grow up with a love for dance. During her appearance on Weekly Trash, she shared that she had wanted to be a dancer from a young age, though her mom was initially hesitant. "She was like, 'Girl, please. I don't even know how to put your hair in a braid, so no, we're not doing that,' " Brylee recalled. Eventually, they "compromised," and Brylee took up gymnastics instead — until she broke her arm and told her mom, "Time to do dance." When Brylee was 7 years old, her mom came around. She ended up signing Brylee up for dance classes and became her "biggest cheerleader." Brylee performed competitively in multiple styles at a studio in Salem until she entered high school. Then, she split her time between her school's dance company and cheerleading. When college began, Brylee attended a local school, where she danced for one season. She soon realized she didn't "love dance enough anymore to stay here for that," prompting her to transfer schools and keep dancing only for fun. She graduated from Utah Valley University </h2> Brylee graduated from Utah Valley University in December 2020 with a bachelor's degree in communications with an emphasis in public relations, per her LinkedIn . Since it was during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, her graduation was a drive-through celebration — but she officially walked across the stage in May 2021. While on Weekly Trash, Brylee shared that Brandon had asked to come to the graduation even though they weren't officially dating at the time. Given the unique circumstances, she decided to invite him to her afterparty instead. "You think you're going to pile into my dad's truck with my siblings and everyone and be like, 'Nice to meet you,' as you're all sitting on top of each other?" she recalled saying. They met on Instagram </h2> In a March 2022 interview with PEOPLE, Brandon shared that he was "going on a few dates" before he met Brylee, but "they were all lame." He downloaded Mutual, a dating app for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "to be funny," but then took it more seriously when he saw Brylee's profile. "I was scrolling through and saw her but I was too embarrassed to message her ," he said. "So, I DM'ed her on Instagram instead and she ghosted me." "I was trying to be cool," Brylee admitted. They had their first date at the Cheesecake Factory, which Brandon recalled being "nervous" for, but was appeased when he realized "how easy the conversation was." They married in July 2022 </h2> On March 7, 2022, Brandon asked Brylee to marry him. In a romantic proposal, he made a movie trailer that showcased their memories — a nod to one of their first deep conversations shared outside a movie theater. "I wanted it to be perfect, as representative of what we've done so far, everything we stand for," he told PEOPLE. "I started crying when the trailer came out and I knew I was screwed. All of our best friends and family were there and I walked her down to the front, told her I loved her and can't wait to start a family with her." About a year and a half after dating, they tied the knot on July 30, 2022. After participating in a religious ceremony that morning, the couple exchanged vows in front of friends and family at Siempre, a venue nestled in the Draper, Utah, mountains. "Because so many people get married in Utah so young, we wanted something that was a little bit different than the traditional church, chapel wedding," Brandon told PEOPLE. Following their nuptials, the newlyweds went on a honeymoon in the Dominican Republic. She calls herself a "professional dance wife" </h2> Brylee takes her role as a " professional dance wife " seriously. With a background in social media, Brylee has taken her talents to TikTok, where she often documents her life supporting Brandon at his rehearsals and shows and the behind the scenes of his life as a pro on DWTS. Brylee is also a regular in the audience each week of the show, and has picked up a thing or two from watching the dances up close — and having a pro coach at home. The content creator frequently shares videos recreating dances from the show in their home, including a series she calls, "Forcing my husband to teach me cool tricks he does on DWTS."

Brandon Armstrong has been married to his wife, Brylee Armstrong, since July 2022. Here's everything to know about Brandon Armstrong's wife.

Who Is Brandon Armstrong's Wife? All About Brylee Armstrong — and How the DWTS Pro Is Inspiring Her Outside of the Ballroom

Within the first few days or so of meeting Ron San Fillipo as fellow freshman football players at Montclair State, Ken Trimmer uncovered three fundamental truths about his new teammate that would last throughout their 64-year friendship:<li>He knew and could play the game of football.</li><li>He made no compromises on what he embraced as his core principles for decency and fairness.</li><li>The fact that Trimmer truly liked San Fillipo as a person separated him from pretty much no one else who'd ever met him.</li> "Somebody wasn't ever going to influence him if it wasn't the right thing to do. I mean that's a definite," Trimmer said. "And to be honest with you, I have never heard a bad word about him. He was liked and respected by everyone." That being so, a whole lot of people throughout Essex County and beyond lost a special friend Nov. 12 when the longtime Caldwell High athletic director died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 82. He left behind his wife of 59 years, Nancy, children Ron Jr. and Nancy Guasta, two grandchildren, and countless folks who deeply valued their connection with a man who wore many hats, and each one of them with style. "He was the most universally respected person I have ever encountered - and that was completely appropriate," Bloomfield athletic director Steve Jenkins said. "I was blessed to have him as a mentor. There was no better role model/father figure to observe, converse with and try to emulate." Following his graduation from Montclair State, San Fillipo first ventured into coaching football locally at the collegiate level at Montclair State, Jersey City State and Kean. He then served as Caldwell athletic director from 1975 through 2002, during which time he added eight varsity sports ands grew the available girls varsity programs by 50 percent. "Ron was a great man and one of the most respected ADs in the state. For Ron, it was all about the kids," said Dave Drozjock, former West Essex football coaching great and current AD for the Wayne School District. "We had some great battles with Caldwell. Win or lose, Ron was always there with encouraging words for both sides. He will truly be missed." The former Belleville and Montclair State football star and longtime Cedar Grove resident immersed himself in the local sports, civic organizations and politics of his adopted home town while handling his job at Caldwell with distinction. He was a volunteer coach in a variety of sports, former Board of Education president and even once mayor of Cedar Grove. San Filliipo was honored as Essex County Athletic Director of the Year in 1988, Director of Athletics Association of New Jersey state AD of the Year in 1995, and a founder and president of the Essex County Athletic Directors Association. He is a member of both the Belleville and Caldwell athletic halls of fame and was enshrined just last month at Caldwell Chiefs Legend Park at the school's Bonnel Field. It was the last time many of his friends, former colleagues and mentees saw him alive. "I think he could die with a smile on his face because of all the people who were there and all the wonderful things that were said to him," Trimmer said. "It was just a great, great thing for him and his family. Once retiring from Caldwell in 2002, that's when San Fillipo really rolled up his sleeves and got busy - as a driving force behind the creation of the Super Essex Conference in 2009 and the North Jersey Super Football Conference in 2016. San Fillipo worked assiduously to pull Essex County teams from the six different conferences they populated into one uniform entity that would help the schools strike a more competitive balance across all sports while easing burdens for scheduling and travel. The North Jersey Super Football Conference immediately became the nation's largest football-only conference with 115 schools joining ranks for that inaugural 2016 season. A year later, it scaled down its name to simply Super Football Conference. "Ron's leadership with the Super Essex Conference made it one of the most respected conferences in the state of New Jersey, said Ron Anello, a former Montclair football great who preceded Drozjock as West Essex head football coach and then was longtime athletic director at Ramapo. He is back at his alma mater as interim AD. "He was also a founding father of the Super Football Conference, and because of Ron's knowledge, skills and strong work ethic, the SFC is the biggest and one of the most respected high school conferences in the country," Anello said. Whether supervising the wide menu of sports at Caldwell while athletic director, running a board of ed meeting or laying down the foundation for the two super conferences he helped organize, San Fillipo could always be relied upon for his industry, diplomacy and, maybe above all else, honesty. "He wasn't a guy who was ever gonna scream at anybody to get things done, but he made the right decisions. And the decision he made was always for the best thing, not because it was a decision someone he liked would want him to make. Everything he did was done with integrity," Trimmer said. According to Anello, that integrity was mirrored by the coaches he supervised and the Caldwell athletes who performed under those coaches. "Under the guidance and leadership of Ron San Fillipo, the Caldwell High School athletic program grew to be one of the best in Essex County. Not only for their success on the field, but more importantly how their athletes always displayed good sportsmanship, respect for their opponent, and always represented Caldwell High School and the entire community of Caldwell in a very positive manner," he said. San Fillipo's steady, fair-minded guidance extended way beyond 265 Westville Avenue in West Caldwell. Coaches and athletic directors throughout Essex County owed much of their own success to him. "Ron was truly a friend of mine. I learned so much from him on organizational skills how to manage and run a good athletic program. He was the stronghold for keeping the Essex County and Super Essex Conferences running effectively and efficiently," former Weequahic athletic director Gary Westberry said. "He was true historian for both organizations. I truly believe following his leadership and his structure was the main reason that led me to receiving the AD of the year (2010) for the state of New Jersey. He was one of the leaders who always made himself available to assist both professionally and privately. He was truly a jewel to athletics. May God bless his soul," he said. It is no surprise that many of the young athletic directors he counseled followed his lead and stayed involved after formal retirement as invaluable organizers and leaders of various local athletic foundations. One of them is former East Orange AD Abdul Hassan, still immensely involved with the Men of Essex group and several others long after he retired as athletic director. "Ron was a mentor, a big brother who provided guidance in the athletic directors job that I held in East Orange for about 10 years. The relationship that I had with him was the name I called him, the Godfather," Hassan said. "He was always there for me with whatever, and whenever I needed him in the profession. Also, Ron's wisdom as a human being covered all the diversity and fairness of our youth in sports and outside of it. May God comfort his family, friends and colleagues. He will truly be missed in my life and may our godfather rest in peace," he said. At the viewing for Ron SanFillipo this past Sunday in Cedar Grove, Trimmer embraced Nancy San Fillipo and offered up some of his homespun comfort to a woman he has known almost as long as his old teammate at Montclair State. "I told her, 'I know one thing, Ron's going to be in Heaven.' And I said, 'And there's going to be things that are going to go on the rest of your life, and you're going to say, Thanks, Ronnie, thanks, Ronnie. So will I.' "

The sports pundit switched up her hair as she sported a red flicky bob for the glamorous evening. Alex wore a white shirt underneath the blazer and silver dangly earrings as she hit the red carpet. The annual event brought together actors, filmmakers, athletes, journalists, musicians, artists and writers to celebrate those who have helped shape in industry.

Jude Law , Nicole Kidman , Kobbie Mainoo , Cole Palmer and Central Cee, who all star on their own front covers, co-hosted the star-studded ceremony.

Speaking to Hunger magazine she explained: 'Sometimes people just see the end process, but not what it took. 'The rejection, the people not thinking that I was good enough because of my accent and so forth. 'That constant drive to prove people wrong has always been there from that young girl in Poplar.' Reflecting back on her younger self she added: 'that young Alex in the cage, she had dreams. She wanted to see the world. She could see there was a bigger picture and she didn't want to be stuck in that football cage and think that was her life.' Alex signed with Arsenal when she was only eight years old and later went on to become their captain. After appearing in the Women's Super League 140 times, the star retired from football in September 2017 and began putting her expertise to good use from the presenting chair on BBC Sport landing jobs at the Women's World Cup.

Jessica Biel and Beverley Mitchell reunited for a very good cause! Biel, 42, and Mitchell, 43, appeared at the Global Down Syndrome Foundation 's Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show on Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in Denver, Colo. Biel posted several photos and a video clip on Instagram on Sunday, Nov. 17 from the event, which includes a photo of Biel and Mitchell grinning with their arms around each other. The two starred on 7th Heaven, which ran for 11 seasons 1996 to 2007, although Biel transitioned off the show as a series regular during season 5. "Last night was truly special at the #BeBeautifulBeYourself fashion show," the actress wrote in the caption. "Walking the runway with my amazing niece was an unforgettable honor. Huge thanks to the foundation for creating such a profound, empowering event and for all the incredible work you do. My heart is so full. " Biel and Mitchell played sisters Mary and Lucy Camden, respectively, on 7th Heaven. The WB show, which later moved to The CW, also starred Stephen Collins, Catherine Hicks , David Gallagher, Barry Watson and Mackenzie Rosman. The Brenda Hampton-created family drama followed a Christian Protestant minister and his wife navigating raising seven children of various ages while residing in the fictional town of Glenoak, California. This isn't the first time since 7th Heaven went off the air that Biel and Mitchell have reconnected. The two met up at the premiere of Cruel Summer season 2 — which Biel executive produced — in 2023 and also at Monster Jam that same year. Biel also virtually reunited with many of her former 7th Heaven costars — including Mitchell, Hicks, Gallagher, Watson and Rosman — via FaceTime for 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut in March. "Beyond grateful for these crazy humans that I call family!" Mitchell wrote on social media at the time. "To say that this was needed was an understatement, my heart is full and I have been so blessed to love and laugh with them." Elsewhere at the Be Beautiful Yourself Fashion Show, Biel walked down the runway hand-in-hand with her two sons — Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4, — whom she shares with Justin Timberlake , with Zaya, 5, happily leading the way. Timberlake, for his part, lent his support with a sweet comment beneath Biel's Instagram post. "All the feels!!!! "

Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes has addressed interest from Manchester City and Pep Guardiola , but has stressed he is enjoying his time at St James' Park. The midfielder had reportedly been subject of interest from Man City in the summer, with his contract containing a £100million release clause which expired at the end of June. Guimaraes has been one of Newcastle's key players since joining the club for £33million in January 2022 from Lyon. Mail Sport revealed Guimaraes in August had been elevated to being Newcastle's club captain , with the expectation he would stay. The Brazilian has admitted Man City had expressed interest and revealed details of a conversation with Guardiola, but stressed he was always committed to Newcastle. 'I believe that at my club I am an idol and I have a lot of respect,' Guimaraes told the Brazilian newspaper Globo . 'I am the captain of Newcastle and it is something that if you had asked me three years ago, my biggest dream would have been to play in the Premier League. 'Playing, being an idol, being captain is something wonderful. I really like Newcastle. 'Of course, having Manchester City's interest shows that I am at a high level, but it was nothing more than interest. 'I know that Guardiola likes my football, it is normal to have great coaches who admire your football. 'We have spoken once, I praised his work, he praised my work, but it was nothing more than that.' Reports of Man City's interest had grown after Guardiola had singled out Guimaraes for praise before his side faced Newcastle in the FA Cup back in March. 'He is an exceptional holding midfielder. He is aggressive, with the ball or without the ball,' Guardiola said. 'At set pieces, he's aggressive and is a real, complete holding midfielder since being at Lyon and now at a club who want to grow up and up. 'I'm sure he's part of the project for the next years. Definitely.' Fresh reports of Man City interest in the midfielder followed Rodri being ruled out for the season. The Ballon d'Or winner suffered an ACL injury back in September.

Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes breaks silence on Man City interest - as Brazilian reveals details of Pep Guardiola conversation

Scotland's first exposure to the Nations League elite ended with mixed emotions. When the euphoria of a dramatic win in Poland wore off, angst-ridden questions took over. Almost all of them began with the words, 'what if'? What if Grant Hanley had resisted the urge to lunge into a rash penalty-box challenge on Nicola Zalewski deep into added time at Hampden in September? What if Che Adams had stayed narrowly onside when Steve Clarke's side forced the ball into the net in the final seconds of an unfortunate 2-1 defeat to Croatia? What if Ben Doak had been fit for Euro 2024 and the imperious Billy Gilmour had started against Germany? And where was this version of the Scotland team - brimming with attacking energy, ambition and endeavour - when the Tartan Army were crying out for another week's stay at the Euro finals in the summer? The questions serve no purpose now. Ifs and buts won't bring back a place in the knockout stage of Euro 2024. They won't secure second place in League A Group 1 above a Croatia team boasting talents like Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic . They won't land a coveted place amongst the pot-one seeds for next month's World Cup qualifying draw. If they serve any purpose at all, it's to crystallise how far this Scotland team have come in a short space of time. Unfortunate to lose all three opening games in their Nations League section, they rallied to claim an impressive seven points from nine. By the final half hour of the last game, journalists in Poland's National Stadium had no idea if we'd be writing about a heroic surge into second place in the group or a plunge over the edge of a cliff into League B. Andy Robertson's last-ditch header avoided the latter, at least for now. Had Clarke's team claimed the point they deserved after taking the lead in Croatia in October, they'd have pipped the 2018 World Cup finalists to finishing runners-up behind Portugal. 'Over the six games, in every game I think we got slightly better,' reflected skipper Robertson afterwards 'We know mistakes get punished. We know we have to be good in every single detail of the games. And I think, slowly but surely, we got better. 'In the Poland game at home (a 3-2 defeat), I think we should have won it. I think that one hurt the most. 'Against Portugal away, we got beaten late on. Then Croatia away, we thought we'd equalised. So it's such fine margins at this level.' If nothing else, Robertson's bullet header earned a League A lifeline. A two-legged relegation play-off against Greece, Austria, Turkey or Ukraine awaits in March. While Poland crash out of the elite group for the first time since the tournament's introduction in 2018, Clarke's team will hang on for another crack if they come through the play-off. The second leg, helpfully, is at Hampden. 'We've now given ourselves a chance to stay in this league,' added Robertson. 'Portugal and Croatia are ahead of us, of course. But I think we deserved to finish ahead of Poland. 'Lets see who we play now (in the play-off), and hopefully we can stay in with the big boys, because it definitely gives us a lot of belief going into the qualifying campaigns as well.' With one eye on reaching the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico in 2026, Liverpool star Robertson added: 'Qualifying is so hard. I think the last World Cup qualifiers kind of showed that. We were pretty perfect throughout the whole thing and we finished second and only one goes through. So it's so hard. 'But we've played against most of the big nations now and I think we're getting better and better. The games are getting closer. 'We know we have to keep that level - and that's the thing. So, when it comes to the World Cup campaign, I don't think we'll fear anyone.' Monday night's goal was Robertson's first for Scotland since Steve Clarke's debut game in charge, in 2019. When the left-back met a cross from the excellent John Souttar, it felt like Belgrade and Oslo all over again. However, there's a clear contradiction about this Scotland team. Put them in a pressurised situation in a qualifying game and they excel. Put them in a training camp for four weeks during the Euros and they seem unable to cope. While Clarke continues to confound the critics who think his time is up, he must know that the novelty of just reaching major tournaments has worn off now. The next challenge is to go toe-to-toe with the world's best in a tournament situation and live up to expectation. 'The Euros was disappointing,' Robertson admitted. 'The Switzerland game was good but the other two were disappointing, especially the Germany game. And that's maybe a frustration 'But it's something we have to move on from. if we get to another tournament, we have to learn from it.' There are grounds for optimism on that score. Doak and Tommy Conway have added youth and legs to the squad. A fit and firing Lewis Ferguson offers an upgrade on Kenny McLean in midfield. The return of Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson and Kieran Tierney, meanwhile, is a prospect worth clinging to. While 41-year-old Craig Gordon can't play on forever, he's a better keeper than Angus Gunn. One of only five Scotland players to have scored 20 goals or more, meanwhile, the importance of John McGinn's return to form can't be overstated. Anger, recrimination and 'what ifs' are natural, but they are also old hat. After the bitter anti-climax of Germany, Scotland's national team will head into 2025 with grounds for cautious optimism. It's not a bad way to end the year.

Billy Bob Thornton has made the surprising admission that he much prefers to wear women's jeans over men's. The Bad Santa actor, 69, made the unexpected confession during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on Tuesday morning, declaring that the piece of clothing is better tailored for the opposite sex – and fit his 'bird legs' better. The bombshell revelation came mid-interview when talk show host Drew, 49, confronted Billy over a rumor she'd heard. 'By the way, is it true, because this was one of my favorite things that I learned about you,' she said, before asking, 'Do you like women's jeans?' 'I've got them all,' Billy said before bursting into laughter. 'I'm wearing them right now.' He then explained why he prefers women's jeans, adding: 'The reason I don't like to wear men's jeans is because they're all too baggy. 'And I've got bird legs and it just feels like I'm in a tent.' 'You like a nice fit,' Drew observed. 'I like a nice fit, and they fit great with boots,' Billy reasoned. 'These are women's size 6, Levi's.' Upon hearing the dress size, Drew then quipped: 'Size 6? I couldn't get my right butt cheek in those!' Elsewhere during his appearance on the show, Billy made some rare comments about being married a total of six times. The A-lister, who is on the new series Landman with Demi Moore, is currently happily married to his sixth wife, Men In Black actress Connie Angland, 60. They have been wed 10 years and have one child together. One of his famous ex-wives is Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie, whom he was wed to from 2000 until 2003. Before that he romanced Laura Dern. Speaking to Drew, Billy said: 'I've been with my wife for 22 years. We've been married for 10. We have a daughter. He said they were introduced on the set of Bad Santa when he was on a 'kind of a lost weekend, you know what I mean. 'We were together within probably a couple of months maybe yeah, she kind of drug me out of the gutter, which was awesome we've been together longer than if you totaled up all the other five, it's more time,' he continued. When Drew asked how many times he has been married, he shared his story. 'Well, you wanna hear something that really freaked me out because it's six for me,' Billy replied. 'So, one time, I don't know how I got there, but you know when you go on the internet to look something up and then it leads you to like a bunch of other stuff and you don't really wanna look at it, but you do anyway. 'So, I'm looking at it one day and they had the people who with the most marriages in Hollywood. And I was the only person who was alive on it. 'I mean it had like Mickey Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor and all these people and like, I mean people from like you know, that started in the 30s.' Billy has been married six times and he has four children by three women. From 1978 to 1980, he was married to Melissa Lee Gatlin. They had a daughter Amanda. He then married actress Toni Lawrence in 1986; they separated the following year and divorced in 1988. From 1990 to 1992, Billy was married to actress Cynda Williams. In 1993, the star married Playboy model Pietra Dawn Cherniak, with whom he had two sons. The marriage ended in 1997. Billy dated Laura Dern from 1997 to 1999, but in 2000 he married Angelina. They separated in June 2002 and divorced the following year.

The first time I noticed that Trump's red Make America Great Again hat had come into vogue was at the Lake Region Threshers Show in Otter Tail County, locally known as the Dalton threshing bee . (If you've never been, you should go. It's amazing.) It was 2016, and as my small son and I walked around the grounds, admiring the huge century-old tractors and getting a free ride on the steam engine, red hats were everywhere. One man was wearing one that said, "Make Dalton Great Again," which made me chuckle, imagining this small farming community as a long-ago mighty empire. I always thought Trump looked like a goof wearing that hat. I mean, who wore a feed-style cap with a suit? But all around me, men were wearing them like they'd finally found a club they actually wanted to join. Skeptics mocked The Hat. They laughed at the idea that a chauffer-driven New York billionaire with a gilded penthouse, who'd never shoveled manure or speared pike from a darkhouse or driven a semi-truck, could think that a red cap would endear him to men who had done all those things. They laughed that parts of his hats were evidently made outside the United States, or that they were made in the U.S. by people he has disparaged. Many a lesser politician would have slunk away from The Hat and the mockery it engendered. It would have faded into the background as a tried-and-failed campaign prop shunted aside in favor of more traditional apparel like buttons or T-shirts. Not Trump. He did as he always does in the face of criticism. He doubled down. The Hat took on the air of defiance, a symbol of a man who never backed down, a man who never apologized. A man who made his own atmosphere, critics be damned, using their own momentum against them. Hat sales went through the roof. There were knock-offs and parodies. Finally, the people had a politician who didn't scurry off at the faintest hint of criticism, but who stood his ground, stood boldly and took it all, mockery and adoration alike. The hats linked the powerful and the powerless, the rich and the barely-making-it, the city slicker and the cowboy. The mockery continued. He pronounced the books of the Bible "One Corinthians" and "Two Corinthians" instead of "First Corinthians" and "Second Corinthians." Haw haw! Some Christian. (Never mind that "One Corinthians" and "Two Corinthians" was exactly the pronunciation I and many other kids learned in Sunday School.) He didn't have a 2016 campaign office in New Jersey. He spelled coffee "cofveve" in a Tweet. Haw haw. A stable genius, all right! But he continued to gain in the polls, with politicians falling over themselves to support him. And as he kept winning, his critics began to look like wolves unable to take down a majestic stag. They looked like loser wolves. Even after Trump lost the 2020 election, he sucked all the oxygen out of America by claiming it was stolen. Over and over. For four years, grabbing headlines, shading out the real president, gaining strength even when the headlines were negative. Crying witch hunt when he was indicted and convicted. Fueled by millions of Americans who believed him. Supporting former Fox TV host and Minnesota native Pete Hegseth, a war veteran with no global military leadership experience, to become Defense Department chief even as news broke that Hegseth had paid off a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017. Hegseth was also blocked from serving at President Biden's inauguration with his National Guard unit because one of his tattoos marked him as a possible inside security threat. If pundits had waxed poetic on how The Hat was a genius marketing maneuver, if they had clapped Trump on the back and applauded his savvy, would that have shifted a calculus that depended so much on opposition? If they had given grace for "One Corinthians" and "covfefe," and focused on his truly abhorrent words, would that have taken the wind out of his sails?

Despite public satire and mockery, Trump never ditched his red Make America Great Again hat. His refusal to cave to the critics won over millions of supporters. He is once again refusing to cave to the critics in standing by Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth.

Roxy Jacenko has given fans a glimpse at her very slimmed-down frame in a new Instagram post. The 44-year-old mother-of-two took to social media on Tuesday to reveal her toned tummy in a Missoni Mare metallic striped crochet-knit triangle bikini. The PR queen made sure to give her followers a link to buy the garment for themselves. Roxy reached her goal weight of 51.9kg last month after shedding 15 kilograms, and recently revealed exactly how she has managed to keep the weight off. She told Daily Mail Australia she maintains her slim physique by doing daily contrast therapy, which involves taking baths in warm and cold water from Monday to Friday. This method is believed to help to improve blood circulation throughout your body. She also does 40 minutes in an infra-red sauna each day before completing a 45-minute workout on the treadmill at speed 6 and rolling hills, all while doing low weight exercises. Roxy also revealed she eats just one meal a day at dinner and it is focused on protein only . 'I don't do breakfast or lunch, instead I do dinner at 7pm each day which is focused on protein only and salad,' she explained. 'Last night I had grilled calamari, rocket pear and Parmesan salad. If I'm desperate for something sweet, I have dark chocolate covered sultanas.' Roxy also has an AG1 supplement, which includes multiple vitamins, minerals, probiotics and plant compounds, every morning. She said she only drinks alcohol on the weekend if she has an occasion and limits herself to two drinks. Roxy also recently spoke about the terrifying moment she overdosed on Ozempic in an effort to lose weight . She revealed she'd taken four times the recommended dosage before she suffered from severe vomiting and non-stop shaking. 'I put so much weight on. I would have to undo my jeans when I sat in the car so I got sucked in by it,' she explained on The Lazy CEO Podcast with Jane Lu. 'I bought it, I tried it. I took four times the amount in the first go.' Roxy continued by saying she's 'so sick of people' who deny using Ozempic, adding: 'I call a spade a spade on my platform and I don't care.' She also previously said she thought she was going to 'die' after taking one milligram of the diabetic treatment, which was four times the amount prescribed to her by a doctor. 'I thought I was actually going to die. I have had cancer, radiation therapy, all of that. It doesn't even compare to how bad I felt when I took this drug,' she told The Saturday Telegraph . 'For the first 12 hours I was OK. I vomited four times that morning, once in a hire car, and I went to work.' Roxy revealed she then suffered from severe vomiting and non-stop 'epilepsy type' shaking which landed her in a drug overdose clinic for three days . 'I called an ambulance. An ambulance was going to be an hour away but I thought I was going to die. I went to St Vincent's,' she said. Roxy has since put out a warning to all who are tempted to use Hollywood's latest quick-fix weight loss drug. She said using the drug was 'pathetic' and 'silly', and called for celebrities to stop lying about not using it to shed kilos. Ozempic has been a hot topic in Hollywood with stars either admitting to using the diabetes drug for weight loss or staunchly denying it. Semaglutide is sold under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus as an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is also sold under the brand name Wegovy as an anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management. The drugs act like a hormone in the brain which causes people to feel less hungry and slow the clearing of food from the stomach, which spurs weight loss. Ozempic and Wegovy have surged in popularity since becoming the first drugs proven to aid weight loss.

Pep Guardiola has reportedly signed a new contract with Manchester City . Guardiola, 53, has enjoyed a stunning tenure with City since joining in 2016, winning the Premier League in six of his eight full seasons. The Spaniard, who previously coached Barcelona and Bayern Munich , also lifted the Champions League in 2023 and has won 18 honours in total. There had been significant speculation surrounding his future, with Guardiola's contract set to expire at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. However, according to The Athletic , Guardiola has ended the rumours by penning a new one-year contract with the option for a second year. The report goes on to add that the 53-year-old's extension will be confirmed in the next few days. The news comes during what has arguably been the most difficult time for Guardiola during his decorated tenure at the Etihad, with City having lost their last four matches - the worst run in the Spaniard's time at the club. There had been many who thought Guardiola would leave City at the end of the campaign alongside director of football Txiki Begiristain, who is a close friend and someone that brought him to the club eight years ago. Guardiola had admitted 'a part of me is leaving' when quizzed on the Begiristain news last month, but there was a feeling at the time among those at City that he was also not yet ready to close the door on staying. Guardiola is renowned for leaving his contract talks late, with his previous deal being signed in November 2022, which was just over six months before it expired, so this new reported deal following the same pattern. In fact, Guardiola penned that deal on November 19, with this contract two years later being signed on the same day. Speaking recently after the third defeat of the four on the recent run, Guardiola refuted suggestions that he was no longer up for the challenge despite the difficult run his side find themselves in. 'It is a tough challenge, but I am here,' Guardiola said. 'It will be a tough season — we knew that from the start. But this is what it is. I like it, I love it, I want to face it and lift my players and try it.' He later added: 'More than ever, I want to lift up the team and return them to their top level.' With Guardiola's contract entering its final months, he was linked to the England job before Thomas Tuchel was appointed, with Mail Sport reporting at the time how the Spaniard was viewed as the FA's dream candidate to be the Three Lions manager for the 2026 World Cup. However, he is now set to stay at City, with Guardiola's future having been a topic of discussion at press conferences in recent months. Speaking in October, Guardiola had insisted that City have put him under no pressure to decide his future. 'I want to be really, really convinced that it's the best for the club,' he said. 'I will not delay an action knowing that I am creating a problem for the club. 'If I feel there is a problem right now, I will take a decision as quickly as possible. But I don't have that feeling because they understand the reasons that I have.' The likes of Xabi Alonso and Ruben Amorim had been candidates linked with replacing Guardiola, with the Catalan previously insisting he was happy to offer his input into the next boss. He said: 'I'm pretty sure that the club have an option when Txiki should leave and they have options when Pep will leave. 'Sooner or later it's going to happen and they are prepared. If they ask me my opinion, I will give my opinion. 'But it's not my job. The decision will be taken for them, not for me. We've shared unbelievable moments together. But it has to be the club. It's the best. 'So I would say the new sporting director, the moment I'm not here anymore, has to choose his manager. 'Txiki leaving is a part of me leaving. The architect. He will be missed. He made me incredibly balanced in my job, because I am so energetic when I am going bad, I want to destroy everything.'All the time he said, "see you tomorrow, take a coffee".'

On-court rivals, and off-court collaborators, Stephen Curry and De'Aaron Fox's joint project is nearing launch. Months ago, the Sacramento Kings superstar joined hands with Steph and came under the Under Armour umbrella. Thus signing with the Curry brand, Fox set out on a new venture to bring ultimate comfort to your feet. De'Aaron Fox's first signature sneaker will launch this winter holiday. Stephen Curry's brand unveiled the first look at his new partnership three weeks ahead of its December 6 launch. To say the shoes look quirky and very De'Aaron Fox -styled would be an understatement. The bold colors mirror the King's fearless, vibrant playstyle—a joy to watch, just like Steph. But unfortunately, fans aren't so happy about the bright blue shoes and orange velcro straps. Many have criticized the Curry Brand's latest model as a poor copy of Kevin Durant's 2011 Nike KD 4. It's safe to say that sneakerheads aren't showing much enthusiasm. "Ripoff" – Fans take a massive dig at Stephen Curry and De'Aaron Fox for allegedly copying KD 4's model</h2>Kevin Durant 's Nike KD 4, released in late 2011, became an instant hit with its unique velcro straps. Now, Curry Brand's new signature shoes with De'Aaron Fox are drawing comparisons to the KD 4. Fans are even asking, "Why does it look like the Nike KD 7?"—which also features straps like the KD 4. Another fan literally mocked Steph and De'Aaron's collaboration saying: "These looks like a ripoff of the kd ivs." Fans were hoping for something fresh, but instead, they saw a design that seemed too familiar, leaving them disappointed by the lack of originality. And well, the comparison to Kevin Durant's iconic 2011 Nike KD 4 is hard to ignore. Fans are calling De'Aaron Fox's new Curry Brand sneaker a "KD7 copy," pointing out its striking similarities to Kevin Durant's 2014 model. The design feels unoriginal, especially when compared to other brands like Adidas, which are seen as pushing boundaries with fresh and creative styles. The criticism reflects a desire for more innovation and uniqueness in sneaker design. The bold straps and overall look of De'Aaron Fox's new sneaker strongly resemble Nike and the Phoenix Suns star's brainchild. So it's not surprising that the lack of idea that Fox's model is portraying is underwhelming for the sneakerheads. They expected something more out of the ginormous partnership. But what did they get? Disappointment. Some fans aren't holding back their skepticism, with questions being asked about the design, "Why do they look like KD 7s though?" It's not just about resemblance—it's the lack of distinction that stings. When a collaboration between two stars like Curry and Fox is expected to push boundaries, seeing echoes of past designs feels like a missed opportunity. This comment reflects the growing sentiment that sneakers are struggling to carve out their own identity. While the color scheme of Fox's new sneaker hasn't won everyone over, the intricate logo and fine details have managed to stand out. Fans appreciate the effort put into the smaller touches, calling them "fire," even if the overall design isn't their favorite. The intricate gold detailing over the velcro orange straps does add that 'something' to the shoes. De'Aaron Fox's first Curry Brand sneaker has sparked mixed reactions. While the bold design and details catch some eye, the comparisons to KD's iconic models overshadow the excitement. Fans expected innovation, but the lack of originality left many disappointed. For now, this collaboration feels like a missed step in an otherwise promising partnership.

De'Aaron Fox's Curry Brand sneaker sparks debate with bold design, but fans criticize its striking resemblance to KD's iconic models.

"I just wish my twin sister was here."Coppom and Sanders became fast friends upon his arrival in December 2022.Buffs fans at Folsom Field serenaded her during CU's 49-24 win over Utah as a sellout crowd launched into "Happy Birthday" this past Saturday afternoon.The gesture moved Coppom to tears.

Sanders asked Coppom quietly."I'll take anything they give us," she replied.

Rory McIlroy has vowed to put his golf clubs away and celebrate the holiday period with his wife Eric Stoll and daughter Poppy following a chaotic year. McIlroy finished his season in stunning fashion on Sunday by winning the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, a result that saw him clinch a sixth order of merit - matching the great Seve Ballesteros's haul The Northern Irish star celebrated the victory with Stoll and their daughter Poppy, who raised six fingers to make his achievement. He admitted after the tournament that he had been through 'a lot this year, professionally and personally'. McIlroy had stunned the world after it was revealed he had filed for divorce from Stoll, just days before the PGA Championship in May. It was then announced in the week of the US Open that the pair had called off their divorce, with McIlroy stating their 'best future was as a family together'. McIroy then endured an agonising collapse on the last five holes of the US Open to miss out on his first major since 2014, with Bryson DeChambeau claiming victory. Speaking to the PGA Tour's Diary Room after his triumph in Dubai, McIlroy said it was 'incredible' to have Stoll and Poppy with him to celebrate his victory. 'To have Erica and Poppy here, it means a lot,' McIroy said. 'It's the first one they've been at in a while and for Poppy to be old enough now to sort of understand what is going on. I had to ask her if I did win, would she come out onto the 18th green with me? 'Their support means the world to me and to be able to show Poppy what happened and some of the reasons maybe why I'm not around all of the time because I'm working or practising. 'Hopefully she realises or thinks it's worthwhile that I'm not there every night for dinner or for bedtime or whatever it is. 'It's incredible that they were here with me this week and I'm excited to go and celebrate with them.' McIlroy was then asked if he had a message to share with them, with the star then making a promise ahead of the holiday period. 'I'd say that I love them and I can't wait for this little bit of off-season that we have now,' McIlroy added. 'Poppy is very excited for Santa to come, so I'm excited to spend a little bit more time with them and celebrate the holidays and put the clubs away for a while so I'm hopefully a little more there and a little more present. Hopefully they enjoy that.' McIlroy finished the season with four tournament wins, but admitted it would be remembered by others for his near misses during the year. Next year, McIlroy will set his sights on finally winning a fifth major, by which point the wait will have dragged on for 11 years.
