Emma Stone: The Catch & Carryover Denim

As I wrote back in June when Ashley Padilla was named to the cast, I am 100% all in on The Catch, an upcoming rom-com starring Emma Stone and Chris Pine. Like, I can declare confidently, even though it just started production a couple of weeks ago, that for me, the movie is at least a lead-off double. The casting is perfect – Emma Stone and Chris Pine? That is correct. The premise is perfect – Emma plays the “most hated woman in baseball”, something about f-cking up a bas

This year marks the 25th anniversary of The Fast and the Furious, the first movie that would eventually become a franchise, released in 2001. Since then there have been nine more, for a total of ten at the moment, with a planned eleventh installment called Fast Forever.Last night there was a fan event to celebrate the milestone, with several Fast Furious family members in attendance including Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Meadow Walker representing her father, Paul, and of course the fam

Carey Price is still receiving tributes.
The day after his official induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, the former Montreal Canadiens goaltender will make a highly anticipated return to the Bell Centre to celebrate with Montreal fans.
Price will be honored on November 10, the day after the ceremony in Toronto. This time, it will be the Canadiens fans who get to pay tribute to him… as his name is officially added to the Bell Centre's Ring of Honor.

This “time is a construct” moment is brought to you by To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, which premiered 8 years ago. How is that possible? This might require a rewatch. I’d be down for a “where are they now” movie. When the series ended, I think that was the plan.
Also, Lana Condor is in Coyote vs. Acme, which was almost permanently shelved but is getting pretty decent reviews.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Netflix US (@netflix) View this post o

The Montreal Canadiens players are gaining more and more respect throughout the National Hockey League. And the new ratings in NHL 27 prove it once again!
Cole Caufield has an overall rating of 90 in the new EA Sports game—a score that places him among the best players at his position, ranking him 8th among the NHL's top right wingers.
This is a great recognition for Caufield, who has established himself as one of the league's most dangerous snipers. And what about Nick Suzuki?

The Blue Jays are in the playoff race.
John Schneider and his team's job will be to make sure they win as often as possible to try to qualify.
MLB
One thing that could help them win games is having Dylan Cease pitch more often than the others.
With one day off per week between now and the end of the season, the Blue Jays could keep him on a five-day rotation and give the others a breather.
But don't expect to see the Blue Jays do that.
As Arden Zwelling told Sportsnet, Cease isn't at 100% right

It’s been six long years since Phoebe Bridgers last released a full-length studio album, and the result of that wait is a melancholic collection of songs that will have you crying as much as you are vibing. Lost Weekend is an album about grief, but the kind that exists alongside love, resentment, guilt, nostalgia and everything in-between. The album is dedicated to her late father and circles around his 2023 death and the complicated relationship that Phoebe shared with him.Taylor Swift ga

Alexander Zharovsky continues to make headlines.
The young prospect for the Montreal Canadiens scored a beautiful goal today in Salavat Yulaev Ufa's second preseason game.
His team lost, but Zharovsky still found the back of the net: on the play, the forward capitalized on a counterattack to push into the opponent's zone before firing a solid shot that beat the goalie.
The goal is all the more impressive given that Zharovsky had experienced a rather eventful few days.
The young forward notably l

Just yesterday (Monday), it was announced that Quebec native Émilien Pitre had been promoted to the AAA level in the New York Mets organization. We'll be watching closely in the coming weeks to see if the Repentigny native is called up to the major leagues.
That won't be the case, however, for Miguel Cienfuegos, who hasn't taken the mound since August 8 in El Paso in Triple-A and has been released by the San Diego Padres. The left-hander posted a 7.35 earned run average despite striking o

Big announcement from Bad Bunny yesterday – after weeks of rumours that he’ll be closing out the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour at home in Puerto Rico, following a year of touring around the world, it was finally confirmed that Benito will indeed perform two final shows there this weekend, August 22 and 23, with tickets going on sale tomorrow, Wednesday 19 August. That’s not a lot of lead time but it’s not like anyone is worried that no one will go.
Like I

Right now, Sidney Crosby has one year left on his contract.
Naturally, we have to wonder what will happen with the Penguins' captain, who has been at the center of much speculation for several years now.
That said, this summer has been quiet. It makes all the difference to play for a team that isn't completely terrible.
Crosby has never started a season while in the final year of his contract. Will this season be different for him, given that he doesn't want to retire in a year?
We have to assum

Céline Dion will soon return to the stage – she’s playing 16 shows in Paris through September and October and those tickets sold out so fast she added ten more dates next May. Which is why she’s doing some promotion right now, covering the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar, in preparation for her miraculous comeback.And it is a miracle on top of a miracle. As we all know now, especially after the documentary a couple of a years ago, Céline is living with Stiff Pe

The offseason is increasingly coming to a close in the NHL. That said, even though play will resume shortly, there are still some issues to be resolved across the league.
There's been a lot of talk about Zachary Bolduc and Arber Xhekaj in Montreal… but across the league, the contract situations of Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar, among others, are generating buzz.
Both defensemen are less than a year away from full free agency, and they were expected to sign contract extensions this summer (w

The Atlanta Falcons have just bolstered a unit that had suffered several setbacks in recent weeks.The team announced Tuesday that it had signed veteran Za'Darius Smith to a one-year contract.
The 33-year-old defensive player will earn $6 million, according to a report by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Smith arrives in Atlanta after playing for the Philadelphia Eagles last season.
This acquisition also has an interesting personal dimension. Smith already knows head coach Kevin Stefanski, with w

Despite injuries to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Cody Bellinger, the starting rotation has held the fort. That's the main reason the New York Yankees are still comfortably in playoff contention (for now).
The only downside: this rotation has never been fully healthy this season. And yesterday (Monday) was the closest it's come so far, as Carlos Rodon was set to return to action today (Tuesday) after a strong performance in his most recent rehab start in Double-A.
But then came the news th

In 2018, John Tavares signed with the Maple Leafs.
The Montreal native was returning home after years spent in the United States. He did so thanks to a lucrative contract offer from the Maple Leafs. People in New York didn't take it well.
Among the incentives used to lure the star to the city was an $8 million signing bonus. And eight years later, it's still an issue.
It was discussed a few years ago, but the issue is still in the news right now: Tavares believes he shouldn't have been taxed on

Margot Robbie will only be in one film this year and it’s happened already. We saw in January and February when she was promoting Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” and then, as she does, and she did after Barbie, she went back underground, keeping a low profile. Not unlike most of the stars who are at Hollywood’s highest level these days. And she’s up there – both as a producer and an actor.
The most recent gossip about her had to do with how Warner

Dear Gossips,Fall TV season isn’t what it used to be since streamers release great series year round but for the series that do typically come out in the fall, there is still some anticipation.
Netflix dropped several new trailers for returning and new series yesterday and if you had asked me ahead of time which one I was most excited about I would have said The Diplomat season four. Keri Russell is always excellent and she is reliably great as Kate Wyler but Rufus Sewell is right there wi

We talked about this this morning, but The Athletic (Corey Pronman) has released its ranking of the 32 teams, based on the quality of players aged 23 and under.
The ranking takes into account both established NHL players and prospects.
The Canadiens are ranked third on the list. The Sharks and the Ducks, two California teams, are ahead of Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton's squad.
But it's also important to keep in mind that Pronman ranked the Habs' young players. And that's where you can see that the

Burton Cummings doesn’t mince words talking about what the Takin’ It Back Tour means for the musical legacy of The Guess Who.For the first time in 23 years, he and Randy Bachman are touring together under the band name they made famous. The tour follows the settlement in 2024 of a lengthy trademark lawsuit between them and original members Jim Cale and Garry Peterson around who had the rights to use the name.“We’re here to remind people who the ones who made the music re

Last night at Fenway Park, the Diamondbacks were completely out of it.
In an 11-1 loss to Boston, the pitchers didn't record a single strikeout. Furthermore, every starter in the lineup drove in at least one run.
Every member of the Red Sox lineup had an RBI tonight and not a single person struck out.

The NFL could take a new step in its international expansion over the next few years.Commissioner Roger Goodell believes it is virtually certain that a league franchise will eventually establish a permanent home outside the United States.
In an interview with the German network RTL/ntv, Goodell discussed the NFL's global future with former player Markus Kuhn. According to him, the emergence of a team based in a foreign city is not just a possibility, but a development that will eventually come t

The Canadiens are building around young players, as you know.
Even though the club's prospect pool isn't as deep as it used to be, the organization's pool of young players remains just as promising.
And that's true both in the short and long term.
So for a few years now, the Canadiens have been highly regarded when it comes to the young players in the organization—both established players and prospects.
And that's not about to change this morning.
Corey Pronman (The Athletic) ranked the 32

We often keep an eye on the players drafted by the Canadiens at rookie camp, but it's important to keep an eye out for invited players who weren't drafted into the NHL.
That will certainly be the case this year, as Alexey Vlasov has received an invitation to the Canadiens' rookie camp.
The Victoriaville Tigres announced this on their social media accounts on Monday evening.44 goals in his first season in the QMJHL. Undrafted. 5'9”. Worth a look for the Canadiens. They have a system that kn

The Ducks didn't have it easy with the hostile offer for Leo Carlsson. They had to swallow an $18 million contract for a player who doesn't deserve to be paid that much.
All that money sparked some jealousy in his teammate Cutter Gauthier. Back in July, there were reports that he wanted a more lucrative contract than Connor Bedard's $15 million-per-season deal.
With very little wiggle room, the Ducks took a shot by offering Gauthier a contract worth $13 million per season. He reportedly turned d

The Rafael Devers case is fascinating.
After all, unlike Mookie Betts or Xander Bogaerts, the Red Sox didn't let him go because of his contract situation.
In fact, Devers left because the Red Sox found a team that wanted his big contract—and his problems.
As good as he is on the field at his best, Devers isn't a good teammate. He drags the guys down.
No one is asking him to be a positive leader. But he shouldn't undermine his organization's culture either…
More than a year after the

We're nearing the end of August, and Kent Hughes has made virtually no trades this summer. Maybe the Habs won't make any moves before the start of the season, but there's still time.
The Habs need a top-6 forward and a solid right-handed defenseman. As it happens, the Calgary Flames happen to have exactly that on their roster.
That's the observation Lyle Richardson of The Hockey News made on Monday.Today on @SpectorsHockey's Rumor Roundup: the latest on the Calgary Flames, Arber Xhekaj, and Zach

Kyle Tucker was the big fish to land last winter during free agency. In the end, the former Cub and Astro took the bait from the Los Angeles Dodgers, signing a four-year, $240 million deal. That was a huge amount of money, but hey, the Dodgers really wanted him—at any cost, it seems!
A few months later, you can bet the teams that lost out on the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes are very happy to have finished second. The outfielder isn't having a season that lives up to expectations—or to his

Since being drafted by the CH in 2023, David Reinbacher has played only two games for the big club.
That's very few, considering he was selected fifth overall. Despite this, some still rank him among the team's top three prospects (and with good reason). Elite Prospects didn't even include David Reinbacher among the prospects who absolutely must take their game to the next level in 2026–2027.
The creator of HockeyDB has high hopes for the defenseman this season. He predicts Reinbacher will

According to many, the CH was one of the teams that improved the most.
How?
By trading Brendan Gallagher, perhaps? Because aside from that trade, Kent Hughes hasn't done much. It's not for lack of trying, though…
According to Pierre McGuire—who never speaks without a reason—a trade is on the horizon, in his opinion.
He said this on the Toronto Sports Rush podcast.Does Pierre McGuire know something we don't about a trade coming for the Montreal Canadiens?Don't come at me if not
