Busy Philipps was in New York yesterday. She made an appearance on CBS Mornings in part to talk about her adult ADHD diagnosis. This has been an increasingly common conversation happening among women over the last three or four years, at least in my experience. I’ve had several close friends diagnosed with ADHD in their 30s and, like Busy, it has been a gamechanger.@cbsmornings Busy Philipps is opening up about her late ADHD diagnosis after realizing she shared symptoms as her young daught

With a labor dispute looming on the horizon, Major League Baseball and the Players Association continue to pass the buck back and forth in negotiations over the next collective bargaining agreement.
In fact, MLB presented its latest proposal to the players yesterday (Thursday), an offer that focused primarily on the future of the draft and international recruitment.
The league's offer would represent major changes in how teams scout amateur talent and would result in significantly less money goi

Thirty-one years and five films deep, the Toy Story franchise somehow keeps finding new ways to justify its existence. Seven years after Toy Story 4 asked what it means to live purposefully, the toys are back in Toy Story 5, which asks us to choose imagination when screens and devices make every aspect of our lives so flat and anodyne. Written by Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris, and directed by Andrew Stanton, Toy Story 5 is not the pinnacle of the franchise, but it has all that Toy Story charm

Last night was Jimmy Kimmel’s last appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! before his summer, he’ll be backfilled by guest hosts until the fall. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens in theatres exactly a month from today and promo is picking up but since they won’t have the Jimmy Kimmel option closer to release date, Matt stopped by yesterday to extend their now 20+ year fake feud…which got tiresome a few years ago and now it’s managed to push through the fatigue a

After a start to the season that far exceeded expectations, the Tampa Bay Rays have been struggling lately, having just been swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers and losing six of their last ten games. After leading the American League East, they now trail the New York Yankees by three games at the top of the division.
But fortunately for the Rays, they have an excellent farm system, with the trades of Brandon Lowe and Shane Baz during the last offseason having replenished the minor league ranks.

Andy Samberg and Florence Pugh were photographed in Brooklyn yesterday and according to the paps, they’re working on a film called 42.6 Years.
This project has been in development for years and is finally going into production, with some casting changes. It’s a sci-fi romantic comedy about a man who is cryogenically frozen for 42.6 years and tries to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend; he hasn’t changed… but she’s been living her life the whole time.

Dear Gossips,New performance stats for Love Island USA season 8, just reported yesterday, per Deadline: “Season 8 has come out of the gate with 2.3B minutes viewed through its first two weeks, up 50% from Season 7”. Season 7 followed the breakthrough – and still the best – season, which was 6, featuring PPG when Love Island USA became Peacock’s most valuable series. And season 8 is doing even better numbers, so the streak continues, and so does the lying.I have watc

Martin St-Louis didn’t follow the typical path of a National Hockey League coach.
He didn't have to work his way up through multiple leagues to make a name for himself in the coaching world, and he didn't have to struggle before getting his big break. Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes approached him because they knew St-Louis's hockey IQ and recognized that the Canadiens' head coach possessed the qualities that would make him a good coach, even in the NHL.
That's also how Rod Brind'Amour got his

Flag football is poised to reach a historic milestone with its official inclusion in the Olympic Games program in just two years.
This major development in the sport has prompted the NFL to allow one active player per franchise to participate, paving the way for an unprecedented presence of professional stars on the Olympic stage.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed particular enthusiasm for the idea during a recent interview with Women's Sports Now. According to him, the presence of league

During the offseason, everyone expected Bo Bichette to sign with Philly. At one point, it seemed like it was just a matter of time.
Rumors swirled about a seven-year, $200 million contract.
Then, when the New York Mets let Kyle Tucker slip away, the club panicked and turned to the former Blue Jays player. A three-year, $126 million contract with opt-out clauses was accepted by the player.
In Philadelphia, there was some dissatisfaction. After all, people believed they had a deal with the shortst

There are several reasons to sell your home.
You're thinking about starting a family and need more space…
Your kids have moved out and you want something smaller…
You're getting divorced and need a new place to call home…
You're making more money than before and want to live in something even more luxurious…
Or the opposite!
In short, there isn't just ONE reason for moving.
Where am I going with this? This morning, I was informed that Josh Anderson had hired a real es

Samuel Montembeault's situation is drawing attention right now.
After all, we know the Canadiens are looking to trade their goaltender. We also know, thanks to our colleague Maxime Truman, that the Edmonton Oilers are in the mix.
That said, they're not the only ones interested. According to my sources, the Oilers have a strong interest in Samuel Montembeault.
Note: The Oilers aren't the only team to have reached out to the Habs about Montembeault, and he isn't the only goaltender on their radar.

July 1, 2026, may not be the most exciting day in terms of unrestricted free agent signings.
Note: That doesn't mean nothing will happen. Surprises can still happen (Juraj Slafkovsky's contract in 2024 is a good example).
But when it comes to unrestricted free agents, things will be slow.
I pulled up the list of players who had a salary cap hit of at least $5M in 2025–2026 and who will be UFAs in a few weeks. And it's not exactly a sea of talent.
Darren Raddysh wasn't on the initial list,

Kent Hughes is currently doing his homework. That’s his job.
By necessity, his job is to call his counterparts to see who might be available. After all, you don't necessarily know which players are on the market.
Things can change quickly.
If he keeps track of the current situation, he might realize that the Jets will be forced to rebuild their roster—or at least take a step back.
Why? Because things are already bad enough… and Connor Hellebuyck is likely to leave.
And even if

The Maple Leafs have been in the news this week—for several reasons.
And when you take the time to analyze it all, you realize that the three major decisions (the first ones made by John Chayka and Mats Sundin as club leaders) in recent days are… questionable.
We'll use that word instead of “controversial.”
On Tuesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs decided to trade Joseph Woll. We understand that the club wanted to free up space on its payroll (we'll come back to that), but it

Radko Gudas is currently the captain of the Anaheim Ducks. However, he is without a contract for next season and could be on the move.
That's according to reporter Kevin Weeks. Gudas could secure a 2- to 3-year contract worth less than four million dollars. According to sources, I'm told @AnaheimDucks captain D. Gudas is drawing interest on the market. If he and the Ducks can't reach an agreement, the @FlaPanthers and @MapleLeafs are among potential suitors. He's physical, experienced,

The Brendan Gallagher saga is far from over. He thanked the organization and its fans during the season's final press conference, but since then, we're still waiting to find out where he'll play next season.
We know there have been discussions with the Vancouver Canucks, and everything points in that direction for Gally. We know he has some value on the market, but what's preventing a resolution to this situation?

The Blue Jays, as they have done frequently this year, provided a medical update on several of their injured players.
The focus of the day? Position players. We now know more about the four hitters on the team's injured list.
1. Anthony Santander is set to resume batting, if all goes well, this week or next week in Florida.
The Blue Jays are therefore hopeful that he'll be a factor again this season.
Obviously, he won't be back anytime soon. It certainly won't happen before the trade deadline, s

Captain Olivia Benson has been protecting New York for 27 years, going on 28. On this historic day in the city, of course she is there. Mariska Hargitay is not only a longtime Knicks fan, she has special status with Jalen Brunson – his #1 celebrity among all celebrities.
At this point she’s practically part of his family – and she arrived with the Brunsons today at the parade. So it’s no surprise that she and her son August were with Jalen on the float as they made their

As the trade deadline approached, the CH was in the mix for goalies.
The playoffs finally made us realize that Kent Hughes was right to shake up his goaltending rotation.
Could he be interested in Connor Hellebuyck, for example, who has been the subject of trade rumors for the past few days? My answer: no. However, Darren Dreger has linked two Eastern Conference teams to the goaltender: the last two Stanley Cup champions. Indeed, Dreger (Overdrive) mentioned the Panthers and the Hurricanes.Drege

Mac Jones’ career continues to fascinate NFL observers.After a tumultuous stint with the New England Patriots, the 27-year-old quarterback completely revitalized his market value last year while playing for the San Francisco 49ers. Called up as a backup following Brock Purdy's injury, Jones racked up 2,151 passing yards and 13 touchdowns in 11 appearances in Kyle Shanahan's offensive system.
This resurgence has now caught the attention of several teams looking for a high-caliber backup qua

As a sign that the 2026 Major League Baseball season is fast approaching, we're already less than a month away from the All-Star Game, and things will be moving quickly in the coming weeks.

As long as he isn’t traded, we’ll keep hearing about Dylan Larkin.
Obviously, he'll attract interest from several teams. But according to the latest reports, he himself has three teams in his sights: the Wild, the Panthers, and the Knights.
Don't assume, however, that these are the only possible destinations. In fact, according to Chris Johnston (TCJS), the Wings need offers from other teams since, so far, the offers haven't been convincing.Chris Johnston on whether Detroit is anywhe

The Buffalo Bills organization makes no secret of its goals for the 2026 NFL season: to bring the Lombardi Trophy home.
Led by General Manager Brandon Beane, the team has made a series of bold moves during the offseason. The first major move came in the form of a blockbuster trade to acquire star wide receiver D.J. Moore from the Chicago Bears. Management then bolstered its defense by signing contracts with the formidable pass-rusher Bradley Chubb and the experienced linebacker C.J. Gardner-John

Where and when are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting married? Two of the biggest gossip questions consuming the ecosystem for months. It wasn’t June 13 in Rhode Island – even though Us Weekly boldly proclaimed it on the cover of the magazine, and have not been clowned enough for it. It could be July 3 in New York City at Madison Square Garden, which TMZ was the first to report, but there seems to be a lot of skepticism about whether or not that will actually happen since –

The Buffalo Sabres had a truly spectacular season.
They finished the season in first place in the Atlantic Division and fourth overall in the NHL standings.
That wasn't necessarily expected… and now the question is whether the Sabres will be able to keep up their momentum next season.
After all, the team risks losing Alex Tuch (to free agency) on the trade market this summer.
The Sabres traded Michael Kesselring to San Jose yesterday… and there are also rumors surrounding the possi

Cleared by the NFL following an acquittal on assault charges, Stefon Diggs is officially ready to relaunch his career.The league's decision comes at just the right time, right before training camps open. Among the most likely destinations, the Washington Commanders top the list—an option that would allow the star wide receiver to return to where it all began for him.
A native of Maryland, Diggs has never hidden his attachment to his home region. In an interview with FOX 5, the veteran admi

The fact that Patrik Laine is eligible to sign a contract based on performance bonuses will help him find a new team this summer.
There will be interest in his services from all corners of the NHL, and the player will have a decision to make.
Where will he play in '26–'27? 
For what it's worth, David Pagnotta firmly believes there could be a good fit between Laine and the Los Angeles Kings. This isn't the first time his name has been linked to the Kings, and clearly, that idea just wo

Madison Square Garden has been the epicenter for gossip for the last several weeks. MSG’s primary resident, of course, is the Knicks.

Ivan Demidov had a strong first season in the National League.
We've seen his talent, and we've seen that he has the offensive tools to become a very dangerous player in a few years. And now, people are already talking about his next contract… because he's likely to command a pretty hefty price tag.
Keep in mind that the young player will be eligible to sign a contract extension starting July 1. 
But there are two questions that come up often when discussing his next deal.1. How many

With the Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour underway, it’s time for a new trailer…which already leaked online. Sony is having a really hard time keeping Brand New Day under wraps, the first trailer leaked during the holidays, and now the second trailer leaked, too. (This is on Sony, they handle the Spider-Man assets, not Marvel.) I mean, silver lining style, it is an indicator of how anticipated this movie is that no one wants to wait for it. Brand New Day is expected to be one of

We're less than a month away from the MLB All-Star Game and the spectacular Home Run Derby that goes along with it.
And speaking of the Home Run Derby, there will be some changes for the 2026 edition. According to Evan Drelich and Johny Flores Jr. of The Athletic, MLB is set to return to a system based on swings rather than a clock—for the first time since 2014.
News: The Home Run Derby is ditching the clock. MLB is using a “swings” system in this year's derby. The derby has ha

Dear Gossips,By the time you’re reading this, the Knicks parade will be happening in NYC. The ticker-tape parade was invented in New York City, it’s become a New York City tradition, along the Canyon of Heroes, and today the city’s basketball team will be celebrated by its citizens, the first time in franchise history since there were no parades in the 70s for their previous championships.Viewing areas were already full hours before the parade kicked off with people camping out

The Canadiens said they wanted to handle the Brendan Gallagher situation with respect.
That's only natural, because we all know just how highly regarded the veteran is within the Montreal organization.
And that's also why the Habs are willing to do whatever it takes to allow him to continue his career elsewhere.
There's a scenario in which Gally is traded by the Canadiens (and there's a lot of talk about the Canucks being logical candidates), but there's also another scenario in which Kent Hughe

It’s both a big year and a challenging one for the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.While celebrations are in order for the centennials of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, as well the death of jazz greats such as Sonny Rollins, organizers have faced several hurdles when preparing for the local event’s 41st year.The major challenge has been going up against the World Cup and the FIFA Fan Fest, which take place from June 19 to July 5, dates that coincide with the jazz festival.&ldq

This season, Shohei Ohtani is definitely back as a starting pitcher. We saw him return last year starting in the middle of the season, but that was mostly in a limited role.
But in 2026, he has truly returned to his role as a starting pitcher.
And even though Ohtani doesn't necessarily go deep into his starts, he's had an excellent start to the season. In his first 10 starts of the season, he allowed just five earned runs.
Except that over his last two starts, things have been a lot tougher for

Mike Babcock’s return to the NHL is now on the verge of becoming a reality.
According to the latest reports, Bettman's league executives have decided to give Babcock the green light to return to the National Hockey League.
As a result, the Edmonton Oilers are now free to hire him.
This decision brings an end to a saga that has been dragging on for several weeks. When Babcock's name began circulating in Edmonton, many wondered whether the league or the Players' Association would oppose his

The stadium is sold out, and excitement is at an all-time high for the Montreal Alouettes.
The organization has just made a major splash in the Canadian Football League (CFL) trade market by bringing back the formidable American returner Mario Alford. The special teams specialist has signed a one-year deal with the Quebec franchise, marking a reunion that fans have been eagerly awaiting.
Alford isn't stepping into unfamiliar territory. Between 2019 and 2022, the dynamic 5’8″, 180-pou

If you dig a little deeper, you can find clues pointing to Samuel Montembeault's return to Montreal this fall.
But be careful: clues don't tell the whole story. After all, right now, the most likely scenario is still that Kent Hughes will trade the Quebec native.
Keep in mind that Edmonton is a logical destination, as my colleague Maxime Truman has already pointed out. According to my sources, the Oilers are reportedly very interested in Samuel Montembeault.
Note: The Oilers aren't the only team

Today is June 18. The draft is eight days away, and the free-agent market opens in less than two weeks. Man, time sure flies when the Canadiens make it to the conference finals…
There's one important date, however, that very few people are talking about right now across the NHL: June 29. That's 11 days from now.
Teams have until 5:00 p.m. on June 29 to submit a qualifying offer to their restricted free agents (RFAs), regardless of whether they're eligible for arbitration. If they fail to

The Panthers want to keep Sergei Bobrovsky. A.J. Greer does, too, by the way.
Will Bill Zito be able to work his magic and keep the players he wants? After all, last year he managed to do just that with Aaron Ekblad, Sam Bennett, and Brad Marchand at the last minute.
It was seen as a stroke of genius.
One thing that particularly helped the Panthers' GM was giving Marchand a very long-term contract to reduce the veteran's salary cap impact ($5.25 million).
The former Bruin had agreed to a six-yea

The word going around the NHL right now is that the Panthers won't be able to sign A.J. Greer before July 1. He could therefore become an unrestricted free agent.
Does that mean his time in Florida is definitely over? Not necessarily.
In fact, as Pierre LeBrun (@TheAthletic) notes in a rumor roundup, it's possible that once free agency opens, the Panthers will reach out to him. Greer would like to stay, but the Panthers need to free up cap space. NEW Rumblings for @TheAthletic
