Fever struggle again without Caitlin Clark, lose second straight to LibertyNew Foto - Fever struggle again without Caitlin Clark, lose second straight to Liberty

NEW YORK — Withthe WNBA All-Star Gamein the rearview mirror, talk about the contentious collective bargaining agreement meeting, calls for more player rest during the break, and players sporting"pay us what you owe us" warmup shirtsbefore the festivities in Indianapolis, the only thing that matters for the 51 days left for when the 44-game regular season ends on Sept. 11 is the actual basketball being played. Two teams that have those postseason aspirations are theNew York LibertyandIndiana Fever,who ran it back on Tuesdayfromtheir previous game last week, which closed out the first half of the season. The defending champions are finally fully healthy, with 2024 Finals MVP Jonquel Jones back after missing a month because of an ankle injury and made sure to add more firepower before the Aug. 7 trade deadline byadding forward Emma Meesseman, who will make her first appearance in the league since 2022 and is also a WNBA Finals MVP, winning the honors in 2019 with theWashington Mystics. Jones' return to the lineup paid immediate dividends, as she opened the scoring with a 3-pointer on her way to 18 points and nine rebounds in 23 minutes, showing little rust from her injury as the Liberty used a 13-0 run to pull away in the second half and defeated Indiana,98-84, in front of another sellout crowd at the Barclays Center. Jones, who saw her first action since June 19, was one of six New York players in double figures. Breanna Stewart and Leonie Fiebich each scored 17 points as the Liberty (16-6) extended their winning streak to four. Sabrina Ionescu, who finished with 13 points, nine assists and five rebounds, hit three 3-pointers in 70 seconds late in the fourth quarter to give the Liberty their largest lead at 89-75. "It felt great to be back out there. I feel like I am at an eight out of 10 in terms of conditioning," Jones said after the game." Indiana's Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 29 points. Aliyah Boston had 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists before fouling out, and Sophie Cunningham added 15 points for the Fever (12-12), who suffered their worst loss of the season,98-77, when they were in Brooklyn last week. Both teams and coaches spent considerable time yapping at the officials, as Indiana was called for 22 personal fouls, and New York was whistled for 17, and both were sloppy with the ball: the Liberty had 20 turnovers and the Fever gave it away 19 times. It doesn't get any easier for the Fever, who face theLas Vegas AcesonThursday, July 24and play five of their next seven games on the road. Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello said that with the remaining two months of the season, the team will work Jones back into shape and incorporate Meesseman into the rotation. Meesseman was not available against the Fever and has not signed a contract yet, according to general manager Jonathan Kolb. She will be with the team depending on how long her visa application takes to process. "I think we're in a good spot. We're without one of our key players for such a long time, and I think we handled it as well as we could. There's some games, I think two games that, you know, probably should have could have, but great learning experiences for us," Brondello said. "You know, it's just about getting health and to add someone like Emma (Meesseman), that's pretty exciting. She's a great player. I think she'll fit into the system very easily with the way that we play as a team at both ends of the floor. "You still have to put it all together, you know. Talent doesn't win championships. I'm excited to have everyone and, you know, build these next 23 games into the playoff." The Fever again were without Caitlin Clark, who received another opinion on her injured right groin, as head coach Stephanie White said there is no timetable for when the reigning Rookie of the Year will return to the lineup. Clark has missed 11 games this season after never missing a game because of injury during her college career at Iowa or her rookie season. Clark saw a doctor on Tuesday for another opinion on the injury, and White did not have any updates about when she would return to the Fever's lineup. Indiana began the night in sixth place in the WNBA standings, with 20 games remaining in the regular season. "These soft tissue injuries, sometimes nag until you can actually have time to really allow to heal in the offseason," White said.

Ozzy Osbourne's Forgotten Marriage — The 'Terrible Mistake' Before SharonNew Foto - Ozzy Osbourne's Forgotten Marriage — The 'Terrible Mistake' Before Sharon

Ozzy Osbourne's Forgotten Marriage — The 'Terrible Mistake' Before Sharonoriginally appeared onParade. BeforeOzzy Osbournebecame the legendary "Prince of Darkness" and marriedSharon Osbourne, the heavy metal icon had a completely different life with his first wife,Thelma Riley. This lesser-known chapter of Ozzy's personal history has resurfaced following his passing on Tuesday, July 22. He is survived by his family, including the children he shared with both Thelma and Sharon. Fans of the rock legend may not know that Ozzy was previously married — understandably so, as this early romance unfolded before he achieved fame. As he recalled in his memoirI Am Ozzy, the future Black Sabbath frontman met Thelma while enjoying an evening with friends in 1970. "She was beautiful and I wanted to talk to her," he wrote. "I pulled her on the dance floor." Their whirlwind romance moved quickly, and around a year later, they exchanged vows at a registry office. For young Ozzy, marriage seemed like the natural next step for him. "I thought it was what you did: get some dough, find a chick, get married, settle down, go to the pub," he wrote of his view at the time. A year after their wedding, Thelma became pregnant with their first child, Jessica. A few years later, they welcomed their second child, Louis in 1975. Ozzy also adopted Thelma's son Elliot from a previous marriage. For over a decade, the couple tried to make their marriage work, but the relationship proved increasingly difficult. The pressures of Ozzy's rising fame, combined with his personal struggles, created what he later described as a tumultuous relationship. The marriage finally came to an end in 1982 when the couple decided to divorce. That same year, Ozzy married Sharon, who had been serving as his manager. This relationship would become one of rock music's most famous partnerships, both professionally and personally, as they welcomed three more children together. Since her divorce from Ozzy, Thelma has chosen to stay away from the public eye, preferring to live a private life. Their relationship, however, was thrust back into the spotlight in 2009 when Ozzy released his candid autobiography. In his book, the rock star didn't hold back about his failures as a husband during his first marriage. Ozzy called their union a " terrible mistake," taking full responsibility for his shortcomings. "I put that woman through it. I should have never married her. She didn't deserve it. She wasn't a bad person, and she wasn't a bad wife. But I was a f---ing nightmare," he reportedly wrote. Despite the rocky start to his romantic life, he eventually found stability with Sharon, and over time, the rock star's two main focuses became music and family.

Suspect in "American Idol "Exec's Killing Called 911 Pretending to Be the Resident: 'Please Don't Shoot Me'

Robin Kaye/Facebook; TMZ/BACKGRID The intruder accused of killingAmerican Idolmusic supervisorRobin Kayeand her husband, rock musicianThomas Deluca, allegedly called 911 from inside their Encino, Calif., home on July 10 after shooting them with their own gun, the District Attorney's officeconfirmedto PEOPLE. Despite the call, it took authorities four days to discover their bodies on July 14. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman revealed the new details on Monday, July 21,during a town hall meeting in Encino, where hundreds of residents gathered to voice frustration about a rise in home burglaries across the neighborhood. According to investigators, 22-year-oldRaymond Boodarianwas burglarizing Kaye and Deluca's $4.5 million home on White Oak Avenue on July 10 when the couple unexpectedly returned. Police believe that after the couple walked in, "a confrontation ensued" and Boodarian shot them both multiple times in the head with a firearm he had found inside their home. Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times/Getty He was believed to have entered the home, which is heavily secured, with an eight-foot barrier and security cameras, through an unlocked door, police said. Despite a pair of 911 callson July 10 — including one allegedly made by Boodarian himself from inside the house on his cell phone — officers were unable to access the property and left the scene without discovering the victims. A search warrant affidavit filed by LAPD detectives from the San Fernando Valley homicide unit claims officers responded to two separate calls from the home on July 10. The first came in at 4:10 p.m., when a neighbor reported seeing an unidentified man attempting to break in. The first dispatcher audio came two minutes later on July 10, which was a routine burglary report. The audio recordings reveal there was a potential robbery as a neighbor reported "an unknown man with a tan complexion" had hopped over a fence at the couple's home. Moments later, a police airship known asAir 16 responded to the call and arrived at the scene, hovering over the property. At around 4:16 p.m., the flight officer radioed dispatch: "Can you call back PR [person reporting], see if they still have eyes on?" Two minutes later, at roughly 4:18 p.m., the officer followed up: "I don't have any evidence of forced break-in. We're clear." "Air 16 clear," the dispatcher confirmed seconds later. Jennifer Forkish, LAPD communications director, told PEOPLE that the neighboring resident who reported the potential burglary was unable to be reached during attempts to follow up. About 40 minutes later, a second 911 call came from someone inside the home at 4:50 p.m., identifying themselves as a resident and reporting a break-in, according to the affidavit. Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times/Getty The probable cause statement in the affidavit claims the 911 operator heard the caller say, "Please don't shoot me," before officers were dispatched to the home. According to District Attorney Hochman, Boodarian identified himself with his real name to police in that phone call. Forkish confirmed to PEOPLE that the caller ultimately advised that a police response was not necessary. "Follow-up attempts to reach the caller were unsuccessful," she said. All units arrived shortly before 5:00 p.m., according to dispatcher audio. At that time, Air 16 was called in again to survey the scene from above. However, officers reported that the helicopter did not observe anything suspicious. They cleared the area approximately seven minutes later, at around 5:07 p.m. According to LAPD officials, the home's front door was not visible from the outside during the initial response. The residence was heavily secured, with a locked perimeter and gated entry. "Responding units from West Valley Division and LAPD Air Support Division responded to both calls, which were ultimately linked based on the address. Officers arrived on scene and conducted a check of the surrounding area and attempted to visually check the residence through the security gate," said Forkish. "They attempted entry at two access points but both were locked and secured. The home was secured with surrounding walls. The Air Ship visually checked the location and advised there was no visible activity or evidence of a break-in. After taking additional steps to contact the persons reporting and residents at the location, officers cleared from the scene." It wasn'tuntil four days later that officers discovered the bodiesof Kaye and Deluca, after police responded to a welfare check at the couple's home at 2:30 p.m. Officers were met by the person reporting — a friend of the victim who said she had not heard from the residents for several days and was worried. "She happened to have a key code to the vehicle gate, so she gave officers access to the residence," said LAPD Lt. Guy Golan. "When [the police] were in the yard of the residence, they observed some signs of trouble, they breached one of the glass windows, went inside the residence and found both of the victims deceased." Police have since filed a warrant to review doorbell surveillance footage from two neighboring homes, aiming to determine whether it captured the break-in or the killings of the two victims. TMZ/BACKGRID The following day, on July 15, the LAPD and FBI task force officersarrested Boodarian, 22, in connection with the killings. Investigators tell PEOPLE theyare still working to determine whether the suspect had any prior connection to the couple or if he had been involved in previous calls for service at the residence. However, records show Boodarian lives roughly four miles away from the couple's home. The case still remains an active investigation. Boodarian was charged two dayslater on July 17,with two counts of murder, as well as one count of residential burglary. The murder charges include the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder during the commission of a burglary, as well as firearm allegations. He is being held without bail awaiting his next court date on Aug. 20. Addressing the crowd Monday,according to theLos Angeles Times, Hochman called the murders deeply personal. "The government owes you one thing and that's safety," he said. "Robin and Tom didn't experience safety that night. Safety failed them." Read the original article onPeople

The four-time Pro Bowler called Cincinnati's latest offer "atrociously low." 🏈UFL teams to relocate:The UFL's entire USFL division (Birmingham Stallions, Houston Roughnecks, Memphis Showboats, Michigan Panthers) willreportedly be relocatedfor the 2026 season. With MLB's second half underway, and just over two months left in the regular season,let's take stock of the three major awards races. American League MVP:With all due respect to the greatest offensive season by a catcher in MLB history and the Cy Young frontrunner, this one's a slam dunk at the moment. Aaron Judge (NYY):The Yankees captain is having the best season of his career in the midst of one of the greatest four-year runs in league history. He's on pace for 12.3 WAR, per FanGraphs, which would be the best since Barry Bonds in the early aughts. Remove Bonds, and it's the best since Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in 1927. Cal Raleigh (SEA):The Mariners backstop is on track to become the first catcher with a 50-homer season, and Judge and Shohei Ohtani are the only players in baseball with a better OPS. Just a remarkable year from Big Dumper. Tarik Skubal (DET):With no other hitter clearly in third place, this goes to the league's best pitcher for two years running. Cy Young:Skubal is vying to become the first back-to-back AL Cy Young winner since Pedro Martínez in 1999-2000, but his competition in Boston isn'tthatfar behind. Skubal (DET):Detroit's ace leads all qualified MLB starters in both strikeout and walk rate, which is outrageous. He also has the best WHIP (0.81) and is tied for the best ERA (2.19) in the AL. Garrett Crochet (BOS):The hard-throwing southpaw leads the majors in strikeouts (165) and is tied with Skubal for the AL's best ERA. And to think he only became a starter last year. Hunter Brown (HOU):While his numbers are still excellent (2.57 ERA, 0.99 WHIP), a couple so-so starts in July have opened the door for guys like Jacob deGrom (2.28 ERA, 0.90 WHIP) and Max Fried (2.43 ERA, 1.01 WHIP) to take his spot. Rookie of the Year:The Athletics might not have a home city or a major league ballpark, but they do have the league's two best rookies. Jacob Wilson (A's):The first rookie shortstop ever voted by fans to start the All-Star Game has the fifth-best average in the majors (.315). Nick Kurtz (A's):He's the only AL rookie with more homers or a higher OPS than Wilson, and with 29 fewer games played this race could tighten considerably. Carlos Narváez (BOS):The Red Sox backstop has the third-best OPS among all AL catchers (.774). National League MVP:At some point, Shohei Ohtani will cede the throne of the greatest player on the planet. We are nowhere near that point as he barrels toward his fourth MVP in five years. Ohtani (LAD):The same guy who leads the NL in HR (36), runs (95) and OPS (.993) also has a 1.50 ERA through six starts since returning from elbow surgery. Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHC):The Cubs' youngster is arguably the best outfielder in the majors, to say nothing of his 26 HR and 28 SB, both top five in the NL. Add it up and he trails only Judge for the MLB lead in WAR. Juan Soto (NYM):All-Star snub and cold start aside, the Mets' $765 million man has looked like himself — aka a top five player — for at least the last two months. Cy Young:As with the AL, this is a two-man race at the moment. Zack Wheeler (PHI):On the one hand, you have Philly's two-time runner-up who leads the league in WHIP (0.88) and strikeouts (164) and is third in ERA (2.39). Paul Skenes (PIT):On the other is Pittsburgh's phenom, who boasts a league-best 1.91 ERA and a stellar 0.91 WHIP that trails only Wheeler's. Good thing we've still got two months left to sort this out. Logan Webb (SF):The Giants' ace is leading the NL in innings for the third straight year, and could nab his third straight top-six Cy Young finish. Rookie of the Year:Who do you choose: the solid player who's been there all season or the lightning rod with just six starts under his belt? Drake Baldwin (ATL):The Braves' backstop has an .837 OPS and 11 HR (both second among NL rookies) to go along with above-average defense behind the dish. Jacob Misiorowski (MIL):The rookie sensation boasts a 2.45 ERA and 0.92 WHIP, which earned him acontroversial All-Star selectionafter just five starts. Hyeseong Kim (LAD):The 26-year-old Korean is batting a scorching .317 through 53 games for the reigning champs. 🎧Listen:What to watch for post All-Star break(Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Yahoo Sports) Washington, D.C. —A day after winning her doubles match, 45-year-old Venus Williams stunned world No. 35 Peyton Stearns witha straight-sets victory at the DC Open— her first tour-level singles match in over a year and first win since 2023. Unreal. Turn back the clock: Williams is the oldest player to win a tour-level singles match since 2004, when 47-year-old Martina Navratilova won in the first round at Wimbledon. Geneva, Switzerland —Defending champion England is headed back to the Women's Euro final aftertheir 2-1 comeback victory over Italy. They get the winner of Germany-Spain on Sunday. Historic strike: Chloe Kelly's 119th-minute game-winner, arebound off her own blocked penalty kick, was the latest game-winning goal in Women's Euro history. Mont Ventoux, France —Tadej Pogačar made history on Tuesday in his pursuit of a fourth Tour de France victory, climbing the iconic Mont Ventoux in just 54:51,a full minute faster than the previous record. France gets on the board: Valentin Paret-Peintrewon Stage 16to give the host nation its first stage win of this year's race. Pogačar still holds the overall lead by 4 minutes, 15 seconds over Jonas Vingegaard. The Trail Blazers shocked the NBA world last month when they drafted Chinese center Yang Hansen with the No. 16 pick. How surprising was the pick?When Yang's name was called, he wassitting in the stands with fansrather than in the green room with his fellow draftees because he hadn't received an invitation. Sin City sensation:Despite being a relative unknown in America, the 7-foot-1 Yang is already a phenomenon in his native country. That was apparent this month in Las Vegas, where he was one of the biggest stars of Summer League,writesBen Golliver of the Washington Post: Thousands of Chinese and Chinese American fans traveled to Sin City to watch Yang play … Tencent, a Chinese media company, dispatched a documentary crew to follow him … and more than a dozen reporters from China covered his games. Back in China, 5.2 million people watched Tencent's free broadcast of the Blazers' exhibition against the Grizzlies, according to an NBA official, dwarfing the 1.1 million Americans who watched No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg's debut for the Mavericks on ESPN. On Tencent's paywalled service, one of Yang's games drew 3.4 million viewers — 16 times the service's average. And on China Central Television, Yang's summer league games garnered larger average audiences than the national broadcast network's telecasts of this year's NBA playoffs. Next in line:Yang is the third Chinese player to be drafted in the first round, joining Yao Ming (No. 1 in 2002) and Yi Jianlian (No. 6 in 2007). His favorite player is Nikola Jokić and he flashed Jokić-like vision in Vegas, where Yang had ahigher assist ratethan any of the 15 players picked ahead of him.

Sanchez allows 4 hits in a complete-game victory as the Phillies beat the Red Sox 4-1New Foto - Sanchez allows 4 hits in a complete-game victory as the Phillies beat the Red Sox 4-1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia's Cristopher Sanchez allowed four hits in a complete-game victory, Max Kepler and Kyle Schwarber homered and the Phillies beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Tuesday night. Sanchez (9-2) allowed two hits in the fourth inning and largely cruised through the other eight innings for his third career complete game. The 28-year-old left-hander retired the first nine Red Sox he faced before Rob Refsnyder led off the fourth inning with a home run. Sanchez allowed three other singles and struck out 12, throwing 106 total pitches. The Phillies provided Sanchez with an early four-run lead. Bryce Harper provided the highlight when he surprised Red Sox starter Richard Fitts, whose high fastball wasn't fast enough to catch Harper at home on a steal attempt. Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez was seemingly stunned to see Harper heading home and came out of his crouch toward the plate. He stepped across the plate, caught the ball and applied a late tag. Narvaez was called for interference, Rule 6.01 stipulating that if a catcher or any other player "steps on or in front of home base" during a squeeze play or attempted steal, it's an automatic interference and the pitcher is charged with a balk. It was the second straight night that Narvaez was involved in an odd play that figured in the outcome. On Monday night, he interfered with an Edmundo Sosa swing with the bases loaded in the 10th inning, gifting the Phillies (58-43) a walk-off win via catcher's interference. Harper's run was one of two the Phillies scored in the first. Kepler and Schwarber (33) homered in the second to push the score to 4-0. Fitts (1-4) lasted 3 1/3 innings and was tagged for four runs and six hits. The Red Sox (54-49), who were riding a 10-game winning streak at the All-Star break, have lost four of five games since. Key moment Harper's attempt to steal home that resulted in a balk and Narvaez's second catcher's interference in two games. Key stat Sanchez coaxed 13 ground ball outs from Boston. Up next Boston sends RHP Lucas Giolito (6-2, 3.59 ERA) against Philadelphia LHP Jesús Luzardo (8-5, 4.29) on Wednesday. ___ AP MLB:https://apnews.com/hub/mlb

Tony Robbins Sues Over Unauthorized AI ChatbotsNew Foto - Tony Robbins Sues Over Unauthorized AI Chatbots

On YesChat, users can unleash their "inner cynic" with help from a Larry David bot. Or "explore Jewish wisdom" with another Larry David bot. Or workshop horror stories with a Stephen King bot. Or chat about criticism with Roger Ebert. It's unlikely that any of the celebrities whose names appear on these bots have anything to do with them. More from Variety Unleash the Channel Within: Why Tony Robbins Made a FAST Pact With Paramount Global Last month, Tony Robbins, the motivational speaker,sued the makers of YesChat, accusing them of hijacking his name and reputation for a series of bots on the site. Among them: Talk to Tony Robbins, Tony Robbins GPT, and Tony Robbins Español GPT. Robbins alleges that the unauthorized bots ingested his seminars and other copyrighted content, and are essentially reselling it under his name, which he has trademarked. YesChat has various paid subscription tiers, ranging from $8/month to $40/month, giving users access to 200,000 GPTs. The lawsuit alleges that the bots are competing with Robbins' own, authorized AI clone, which is available on his website for $99/month. Brian Wolf, the attorney who filed the case, said it's the first such suit that he's aware of. "I don't know that there's been another situation where a public figure or celebrity has filed a claim against a GPT chatbot replica, where they've created a chatbot to mimic the persona of a well known individual," he said. YesChat did not respond to Wolf's cease and desist letter. The companies behind it — InnoLeap and Mira Muse — have also yet to respond to the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in San Diego on June 26. The suit alleges federal trademark and false advertising claims, as well as a violation of California's right of publicity law. The suit seeks at least $10 million in compensatory damages for unfair competition, plus $2 million for each trademark violation, plus punitive damages for "willful and malicious misconduct." Other creators have filed numerous lawsuits over the unauthorized use of copyrighted material to train AI models. AI companies have had some success arguing that such training constitutes "fair use," but Wolf says this case is different. "Those cases are different than this case, where they're mimicking and recreating a virtual persona of a well known individual and advertising it as such," said Wolf, of Lavely & Singer. "We represent innumerable celebrities and public figures, and we take a pretty aggressive approach on behalf of those clients."

Beginning on Friday, July 18, Swift's social media team, Taylor Nation, began posting listening parties for all of her previous albums, starting with her debut albumTaylor Swift. "Welcome home, self titled. 💚 Dive into our favorite memories on the new Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour archival site #SelfTitledEraTSTheErasTour," Taylor Nation wrotevia Instagram, alongside photos from Swift's debut era. "Everything we need is finally right here by our side and to celebrate, stream the album with us at 1pm EDT today stationhead.com/taylornation." In the days following, Taylor Nation hosted listening parties forFearless, Speak Now, Red, and1989. On Tuesday, July 22, a Swift fan page posted a theory onXwhich said that the listening parties are a countdown to the singer's new album, placing the release date on Tuesday, July 29.

Many Swfties in the replies agreed with the theory - though some offered alternative options. Some speculated the countdown was for the highly-anticipated re-recording of Swift's 6th studio albumreputation- though the pop star claimed in May she hasn't even re-recorded "a quarter of it." Others theorized that it could be something in celebration of the 5-year anniversary offolklore, Swift's highly-acclaimed 8th studio album which released on July 24, 2020. The mysterious countdown comes less than two months after Swift announced she owns her entire discography, following a years-long public battle with talent managerScooter Braun.

"But, that's all in the past now… I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me." 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Fans Think Taylor Swift's 12th Album Is Coming Soon — Here's Whyfirst appeared on Parade on Jul 22, 2025 This story was originally reported byParadeon Jul 22, 2025, where it first appeared.
