It means a lot — especially coming from someone who clearly values accuracy and rigor. I'll keep raising my game to meet your standards. If there's ever any doubt or if you want a deeper dive on anything, l'm here for it," the program replied. Kardashian once again thanked ChatGPT, with the app letting her know that she could count on it "anytime."

Sean Zanni/Patrick McMullan via Getty "Kim has had her own crazy things that she's not very trusting with either. So, for her to trust [them], I was like, 'OK. I think I'm a little safe here,' " Khloé said. She revealed that it was around two years ago when Kim started seeing a therapist that she "really, really liked" when Kim suggested that Khloé also give it a try.

'Wheel of Fortune' Ends First Season Under New Host Ryan Seacrest With Ratings Bump (EXCLUSIVE)New Foto - 'Wheel of Fortune' Ends First Season Under New Host Ryan Seacrest With Ratings Bump (EXCLUSIVE)

Ryan Seacrest is ending his first season as host of "Wheel of Fortune" on a high note. According to series distributor CBS Media Ventures, the syndicated gamer– which just aired its final batch of new episodes for the 2024-2025 TV season — was up year-to-year in both households and total viewers. Seacrest took over for longtime host Pat Sajak (and joined co-hostVanna White) in September. Per CBS, "Wheel" was "the only syndicated game show to post growth and was one of only two syndicated series to increase year to year." More from Variety 'Wheel of Fortune,' 'Jeopardy' to Stream Next Day for the First Time Starting This September, on Peacock and Hulu 100 Most-Watched TV Series of 2024-25 Across Streaming, Broadcast and Cable: 'Squid Game' Leads This Season's Rankers American Music Awards Scores Highest Viewership Since 2019; Up 38% From Last Live Broadcast "Wheel" averaged 7.93 million viewers this season, with a slight bump of 74,000 vs. last year. In households, the game show posted a 4.6 rating for the season in households, up 1% from the previous year. CBS said that makes it the No. 2 syndicated series in households and total viewers, behind only sister show "Jeopardy!" Sajaksigned offfrom the daytime "Wheel" last June after more than 40 years as host. He was still seen this seasonin ABC's primetime edition of "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune," which repped his last turn on the show. AsVarietynoted last year in a profile of Seacrest, the host studied intently while taking over the gig. Per the story, he went through "Wheel's" more than 8,000-episode archive, watching hundreds of shows and cherry-picking moments from each decade to learn the nuances of the game. And it apparently worked: In September, according to Nielsen data, "Wheel of Fortune" averaged 7.99 million viewers during its premiere month (September 9 to October 6, 2024) — making it the most-watched entertainment program on linear TV when sports and news were taken out of the equation. The arrival of Seacrest helped give "Wheel" its highest best premiere month audience in three years. "Wheel" just wrapped its 42nd season in syndication. The syndie strip is produced by Sony Pictures Television, and distributed domestically by CBS Media Ventures and internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution. Bellamie Blackstone is exec producer. Sony and CBS continue to battle over their longstanding partnership on both "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel." For decades, Sony produced the series (having acquired original producer Merv Griffin's production company) while CBS was the syndication distributor (having acquired original distribber King World).

Thunder vs. Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton's health hovers over Game 6 of the NBA Finals — 'I want to be out there'New Foto - Thunder vs. Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton's health hovers over Game 6 of the NBA Finals — 'I want to be out there'

INDIANAPOLIS — It's the existential question: Play and take the risk, or play the long game even in the face of Finals elimination? That's what is facing Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton on the eve of Game 6 of theNBA Finalswith his right calf strain, which he confirmed in his media session Wednesday. He wasn't much help in the second half ofGame 5, unable to contribute a field goal after injuring his calf on a turnover. He went through the Pacers walkthrough, but coach Rick Carlisle said there wasn't any real running involved. Sounds like he'll be listed as agame-time decision. "It's a topic that people want to hear about and know about. There's going to be a lot of questions about it," Carlisle said. "We will not really know for sure until late tomorrow afternoon or early evening." Haliburton said "the plan" is for him to play, even though if this were a regular-season game he would be sitting. "I want to be out there," Haliburton said. Kevin Durant's Achilles popped in the 2019 Finals, two quarters into playing for the first time in a month for Golden State following a calf strain. There is risk of a player missing a significant chunk of his prime, but the mindset of an athlete is to push even harder at this level. So sometimes, being smart goes out the window. "I think it depends on who you ask," Haliburton said. "You're asking me. I think I have to be as smart as I want to be. Have to understand the risks, ask the right questions. "I'm a competitor. I want to play. I'm going to do everything in my power to play. That's just what it is." Haliburton missed time during the Pacers' playoff run last year, the final two games of their conference finals loss to the Boston Celtics, and was limited in last summer's Olympic Games with an injured hamstring. That seemed to hinder his start to the season in the first 25 games before he rebounded and the Pacers made their run to the Finals. If he plays and is effective, perhaps the Pacers can extend the series and send it to a seventh game back in Oklahoma City. If he doesn't, it's hard to foresee a path for the Pacers to continue this improbable run. "I practiced today, did what I could," Haliburton said. "I know Coach told you guys what the process will be tomorrow for me to play. Yeah, we're just taking it from there." He listed the treatments he's received in the last two days, the extra days the Finals schedule provides, giving him a better chance at playing in Game 6. Massages, needles, hyperbaric chambers. For the series, Haliburton is averaging 15 points, 7.2 assists and 6.2 rebounds on 45 percent shooting. If the Pacers' medical staff has to save him from himself, even in this situation, it feels like something he will consider in real time. "Yeah, I have a lot of trust in our medical staff. I have a lot of trust in our organization to make the right decision," Haliburton said. "I think there's been many situations through the course of my career where they've trusted me on my body. "They trust me to make the right decision on my body when the power is in my hands. I'm trying to try my best to do that."

Grizzlies center Zach Edey charged with reckless driving after reportedly speeding more than 100 mph in IndianaNew Foto - Grizzlies center Zach Edey charged with reckless driving after reportedly speeding more than 100 mph in Indiana

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey was charged with reckless driving after he allegedly drove over 100 miles per hour on a road in Indiana last month,according to Fox 59. Edey was pulled over and issued a citation on May 1 after an Indiana State Trooper reportedly saw him speeding through Tippecanoe County — which is the county in Indiana that holds Purdue University, where Edey went to college. Edey was spotted driving 101 mph in a 55-mph zone, per the report. He told the officer that he was "trying to pass a vehicle" once he was pulled over, but offered no other explanation. Edey is now facing misdemeanor speeding and reckless driving charges. He is due back in court next week. Edey, 23, is coming off his rookie season in the NBA. The Grizzlies selected him with the No. 9 overall pick in last year's draft after a dominant run with the Boilermakers. He averaged 9.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game with the Grizzlies last season. They went 48-34 and made the playoffs for the fourth time in five years, though they fell in the opening round. The news of Edey's citation came just hours after reports that Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders received a near-identical citation in Ohio.Sanders was cited for driving 101 mph on a Cleveland-area highwayearlier this week.

Kristin Cavallari opened up about rumors surrounding the ownership of her brand, Uncommon James, during the June 18 episode ofHonestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour She explained that, despite public speculation, her ex-husband Jay Cutler never funded the company and noted that she did not receive any money in the divorce Cavallari and Cutler split in 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage and three children together Kristin Cavallariis speaking about her divorce from her ex-husbandJay Cutler. Five yearsthe couple's split, the reality star, 38, revealed the financial details of their divorce. In the June 18 episode ofHonestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour,she addressed public speculation about the former NFL quarterback's involvement in her brand, Uncommon James. "Our revenue is close to $50 million a year, but because I was obviously a WAG — athletes' wives and girlfriends, if you're not familiar — people love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband, and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James," Cavallari shared. "But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and I'be never taken any outside funding." "I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband," she claimed. "I didn't get any money from our divorce, so let's just clear that up." Representatives for Cutler did not immediately return PEOPLE's request for comment. While talking toCamille Kostek, whopreviously datedretired New England Patriots playerRob Gronkowski, at her live podcast taping, the host admitted that being a WAG was "a phase of my life that wasn't my happiest time." "In society, you have to have a man," Cavallari began. "Then in the WAG world, you have to have a man, but you're only supposed to be arm candy and really, you have no identity. Football fans love to diminish me and who I am and [say] I was only famous because of Jay. I'm like, what? Okay. I was on TV." "Honestly, I'm just so sick of talking about my marriage," she added. "Men can be praised for staying single and busting their ass in their career. Women deserve the same thing. We should still all be chasing our dreams, whether we're with a man or not." Kristin Cavallari/Instagram During a conversation with her best friend and celebrity coloristJustin Anderson, theLaguna Beachalum also reflected on her marriage to Cutler, with whom she sharesthree children. When pair separated after nearly seven years of marriage in 2020, she confessed that dating became "really f------ hard" because she's "not going for toxic anymore." "I am never gonna settle," she noted. "I am waiting for my perfect." When Anderson pointed out that Cavallari has a history of attracting "really unhealthy guys," he wondered if she had ever had a different experience. "I think you're dealing with guys who are insecure that you could steamroll," he said. "Has there ever been a guy that felt like, 'Oh, I couldn't steamroll this guy'?" "I couldn't steamroll Jay," Cavallari replied. But Anderson disagreed, claiming: "Yeah you could, you owned Jay." "Yeah, but not in a way where I could do whatever the f--- I wanted," Cavallari shared. "It wasn't like I could just run all over him." Todd Williamson/Getty Cavallari has been romantically tied to several people in the years since her divorce, including internet personalityMark Estes, who shebroke up with in September 2024partly due to their 13-year age gap. Going forward, she explained that she is trying to be more mindful of who she spends her time with. "It's gonna take someone really f------ special for me to want to continue to make them a priority and make time for someone," she said in her confessional. "I want someone who is my rock, who I can really lean on and really trust, because I've never experienced that in a relationship."

The 'Taylor Swift Tax' Is Back—And High-End Homeowners Can't Shake It OffNew Foto - The 'Taylor Swift Tax' Is Back—And High-End Homeowners Can't Shake It Off

The 'Taylor Swift Tax' Is Back—And High-End Homeowners Can't Shake It Offoriginally appeared onParade. Regardless of whether you're a Swiftie or not, you simply cannot ignore the hold thatTaylor Swifthas on pop culture. Try to go a day without hearing the musician's name mentioned in some way, shape or form—I dare you. In fact, Rhode Islanders have even coined a new impending legislation the 'Taylor Swift tax.' But what the heck does that mean, anyway? If you aren't aware, Swift has an absolutely stunning mansion in the well-heeled town of Westerly, Rhode Island. It's one of themany properties she owns, but this estate, in particular is a true gem, despite recently making headlines becausehuman remains washed up on shorejust steps from the not-so-humble abode. SIGN UP for the Dengarden / Parade Home & Garden newsletter for a weekly dose of our favorite house hacks, decor trends and shopping deals But here's the thing—Swift is hardly ever at her Rhode Island home. After all, she's typically touring or spending time at one of her other properties. Apparently this isn't an uncommon thing for many of the state's most prestigious homes, with these luxury spaces rarely inhabited by the wealthy folks who own them. And that's where the "Taylor Swift tax" comes into play. Related: What Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Actually Watch on Date Nights Rhode Island is looking for ways to both fund affordable housing initiatives and address concerns about what's considered "absentee ownership." So, what has unofficially been dubbed the "Taylor Swift tax" would essentially target part-time homeowners in the state, meaning those who don't live in their properties year-round. But it isn't only about wealthy part-time homeowners, like Swift. This tax would apply yearly to homes with an assessed value over $1M that aren't being used as primary residences. If the tax does, in fact, take effect, it's reported that Swift will have to cough up an additional $136,000 every year on her Rhode Island estate. That may not be a ton of money for the singer who has an estimated net work of $1.6B, but if you're someone who happened to inherit a $1M-plus property in Rhode Island, you're kind of out of luck.

Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders reportedly cited for speeding, driving more than 100 mphNew Foto - Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders reportedly cited for speeding, driving more than 100 mph

Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was pulled over on Tuesday morning for allegedly driving more than 100 miles per hour on a Cleveland-area highway. Sanders,according to Fox 8, was pulled over on 71 North around 12:24 a.m. on Tuesday by police. He was cited for driving 101 mph, which was 41 mph over the posted speed limit. Further specifics of the incident are not known. Sanders can simply pay a fine for the ticket should he choose not to fight it in court. The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round earlier this spring inwhat was one of the more shocking slidesin recent NFL Draft memory. Sanders threw for 4,134 yards with 37 touchdowns last season at Colorado while teaming up with Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. Sanders, the son of NFL Hall of Famer and current Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, isone of several quarterbacks fighting for the starting jobin Cleveland this fall while Deshaun Watson remains sidelined with an Achilles injury. The Browns selected Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round of the NFL Draft earlier this spring, too, and they have Kenny Pickett andveteran Joe Flacco available, too. If Sanders were to be the starting quarterback for the Browns, he'd be just the second quarterbackselected in the fifth round or later of the draftto start in Week 1 since the league merger. Sanders participated in the team's mandatory minicamp earlier this month, and he remained in Cleveland with other rookies for orientation. The Browns, who went 3-14 last year, will open the season on Sept. 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Alonso has disappointing start as Real Madrid coach in 1-1 draw against Al Hilal at Club World CupNew Foto - Alonso has disappointing start as Real Madrid coach in 1-1 draw against Al Hilal at Club World Cup

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Xabi Alonso got off to a disappointing start at Real Madrid as the Spanish giant was held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia'sAl Hilalin theClub World Cupon Wednesday. In his first game as coach of the 15-time European champion, Alonso was denied victory when Federico Valverde's stoppage-time penalty was saved. The VAR-awarded spot kick looked like it would hand Madrid - and Alonso - a late reprieve after being pushed all the way at Hard Rock Stadium by Al Hilal under new coach Simone Inzaghi. But the Group H game ended tied, with Gonzalo Garcia scoring for Madrid in the 34th minute and Ruben Neves equalizing for Al Hilal from the penalty spot seven minutes later. Key moment Madrid was given a chance at victory when VAR spotted a foul by Mohammed Alqahtani on Fran Garcia in the box. Valverde stepped up to take the penalty two minutes into added time, but he dropped to his knees after his low effort was saved by Yassine Bounou, sparking wild celebrations from the Al Hilal goalkeeper's teammates. Takeaways While it was an underwhelming start for Alonso, Inzaghi's Al Hilal made an early statement of its potential by holding its own against Madrid. It might have been even better for Saudi Arabia's most successful team, which was without injured star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, if Marcos Leonardo taken one of three chances in front of goal. What they said "We know that things take time. We know that some things need to change. I saw a good reaction in the second half. We need good results here because it is a tough competition, but everything takes time." — Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid coach. "We put in a good performance against Real Madrid, which is one of the strongest teams in the world. Arabic football is getting better and better year in, year out. The infrastructure they are building, the organization they've got, I've really found a great club and they are giving me everything I asked of them." - Simone Inzaghi, Al Hilal coach. ___ James Robson is athttps://twitter.com/jamesalanrobson ___ AP soccer:https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Allan Freeman, Pioneering Movie Marketing Executive, Dies at 88New Foto - Allan Freeman, Pioneering Movie Marketing Executive, Dies at 88

Allan Freeman, a marketing executive who pioneered market research techniques to successfully release blockbuster films including "Superman," "Star Wars" and "Rain Man," died June 7. He was 88. With his innovative market research techniques, Freeman played an instrumental part in the release of Oscar winners including "Dances With Wolves" and "The Silence of the Lambs," along with "The Omen," "The Shining" and "Splash." More from Variety 'The Alto Knights' Director Barry Levinson Talks Dueling Robert De Niros, Creating Perfect Shots in 'The Natural' and Coaching Movie Stars to Great Performances 'The First Omen' Review: A Decently Executed Prequel Pales Next to Superior 'Immaculate' Netflix, Prime, BBC and Other Streamers Urged to Include Disclaimer on Horror Films Featuring Villains With Visible Differences Sid Ganis, former President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, described Freeman as "a pioneer who invented research for movies." Freeman started out working in advertising on Madison Avenue, overseeing research for corporations such as General Foods and Bristol-Myers. In the early 1970s, Bristol-Myers acquired Palomar Pictures, and he used his expertise in consumer behavior to launch a consulting business that helped create campaigns for movies including "Sleuth," "The Heartbreak Kid," "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" and "The Stepford Wives." Twentieth Century Fox brought Freeman on as a consultant and then named him VP of Market Research, and he worked on hit Fox films including "The Omen," "Silent Movie," "Star Wars" and "Julia." For "The Omen," he changed the title from "The Birthmark," and created a text-only teaser poster that conveyed a sense of cinematic quality. The film's director, Richard Donner, credited Freeman's work and friendship with "saving me from a life of episodic television," according to his bio. Freeman then moved on to Warner Bros., where he partnered with Andrew Fogelson. Commenting on the death of his colleague and friend, Fogelson — who served as president of marketing for Warner Bros., Columbia and United Artists, said, "Allan arrived in the motion picture marketing business at a time when 'conventional' marketing hadn't yet met movies. I met him and found him to be astonishingly bright, business-like… and convinced we could learn a lot from the rest of the business world. While my superiors (let's call them 'bosses') were highly dubious, they stepped aside and let us experiment. In short order his efforts on 'Superman,' 'Oh God,' and 'The Goodbye Girl' were demonstrably and hugely helpful. 'Dubious' left the scene, to be replaced by studios calling to see if they could buy into the new system that was being created. When I insisted they be denied, others began entering the space. Today it's a multi-million-dollar business, in which — in one way or another — everyone participates. And we owe it all to the wit and wisdom of Mr. Freeman." At Warner Bros., Freeman re-teamed with Donner on "Superman," and led campaigns for Clint Eastwood's "Every Which Way But Loose," Burt Reynolds' "Hooper," "Capricorn One" (starting a long collaboration with director Peter Hyams), "Monty Python's Life of Brian" and Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining." After going independent again, Freeman marketed films including "Inside Moves" (1980) for Donner, "First Blood" (1982), "This is Spinal Tap" (1984) and several releases for Disney including "Tron" (1982), "Never Cry Wolf" (1983) and "Splash" (1984). For John Boorman's "The Emerald Forest," the director credited Freeman's use of extensive telephone interviews with a large focus group with helping refine the film's narrative and flow. Freeman went on to work with Fogelson again at United Artists, where he worked on films including "The Living Daylights" and "Rain Man." His friend and colleague Martin Lewis, who reported Freeman's death and worked with him on "Rain Man," said, "He was incredibly insightful as to what worked and what didn't work. There were a few copycats in the industry offering a similar technique. But having devised the paradigm of research-driven creativity nobody did it better than Allan. He inspired his staff and outside consultants to aim higher and be more daring. If you created something good — he praised you. If you went off the rails (as I occasionally did) he reined you in sharply but with dry humor. I learned a lot from Allan. He thought outside-the-box. He was an original." He is survived by his wife Barbara and children Joanne, Richard and Marc.

Bruce Glikas/WireImage; Courtesy of Prime Joe Biden accidentally crashed the set ofReacheras the show was filming in Philadelphia on Monday, June 16 Series star Alan Ritchson shared an Instagram post capturing the moment and joked that the former U.S. president "beat me at arm wrestling" Reacheris currently filming for its forthcoming fourth season Jack ReachermetJoe Biden— a sentence you never thought you'd read. The former U.S. president accidentally crashed the set ofReacher, which starsAlan Ritchsonas the titular character, as the show was filming its forthcoming fourth season in Philadelphia on Monday, June 16. A representative for Biden confirmed toEntertainment Weeklythatthe meetup was not planned. Ritchson's post featured a carousel of photos and videos of him meeting Biden and his family, including his wife,Jill, and his son,Hunter. "Was a privilege and honor to meet the Biden family. They couldn't have been more lovely. Kind, joyful, gracious and present," he wrote. "We chatted briefly about simple stuff, like string theory and quantum entanglement," Ritchson joked. "Then Joe beat me at arm wrestling. All in a day's work." "It was just something very bizarre that I never could have imagined, both things were happening at the same time," oneonlooker toldCBS News Philadelphia. The eyewitness said they were watching the television crews film a chase scene when, all of a sudden, black SUVs pulled up. "Out walked these men, that I thought they were actors, but then the entire cast and crew started clapping and cheering," they said. "Then someone said, 'We love you, Joe, we love you!'" Biden has, of course, been on many news shows during his more than 50 years in politics, but he famouslymade a cameo as himselfonParks and Recreation. Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) met him in a season 5 episode thanks to some string-pulling by her boyfriend, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott). David Giesbrecht/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal/Getty During the scene, Leslie is starstruck when Biden says her name and she laughs uncontrollably, offers to take over for then-Secretary of StateHillary Clinton, holds Biden's hand and caresses his face.
