Gigi is cooking

The last time we checked in on Gigi Hadid she was in Paris with Bradley Cooper while he works on the Oceans prequel. She’s been there off and on for almost two months, considering when she was seen during Paris Fashion Week. So it’s not just BCoop, Gigi is handling her business too.She covers the September issue of Vogue France and since Gigi is a model, we don’t need a reason for her to be covering a fashion magazine, unlike when actors do it, this is her job. But there also m

Even the best can miss one.
Pat Brisson is one of the best-known agents in the world of hockey. His job involves, among other things, trying to identify the next big stars before they become stars.
But with Nick Suzuki, let's just say he probably would have liked to have had a crystal ball.
During an appearance on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, Brisson shared a rather entertaining anecdote about the Habs' captain.Several years ago, Brisson was in Sweden for a tournament in which his son and Ryan

Alex Ovechkin hasn’t even started his 22nd NHL season yet, but in Russia, people are already seriously considering his return.
There's no question of giving him a minor role so he can quietly wrap up his career.
The Moscow Dynamo is reportedly ready to build its team around him.
That's what Anatoly Kharchuk, the new general manager, said in an interview with Pavel Lysenkov of Match TV. His comments were reported by Russian Machine Never Breaks, among others.Dynamo Moscow CEO says KHL team

We knew Victor Hedman wasn’t doing well.
Now we have a much better idea of just how bad it was.
The Lightning captain revealed this past spring that he had taken a step back from the team to focus on his mental health. My colleague actually covered the topic back in May on DLC.
But Hedman has just added an important layer to his story.
In an interview with Dan Rosen, a reporter for NHL.com, the defenseman revealed that he was struggling with performance anxiety.Victor Hedman is ready to ge

No mercy for Ketel Marte
He's grieving, but seeing him abandon his team yet again doesn't sit well with his teammates.
Marte is one of the top second basemen in baseball. But his latest missteps—failing to show up for a game in the middle of a pennant race, then unwinding at a casino while rehabilitating a knee injury—have renewed concerns.https://t.co/hu9rD3C173

Nick Suzuki will earn $7.875 million per season through 2030.
So, let's imagine a scenario together: the Montreal Canadiens sign a true star… and offer him a contract worth 15, 16, or even 17 million dollars a year.
Would Suzuki be bothered to see a newcomer earning more than double his salary?
The Canadiens' captain answered that question today by saying…: Not at all.
And his answer speaks volumes about the current mindset within the Canadiens.Times have changed. On this team, the

Harry Styles kicked off his Madison Square Garden residency yesterday, honouring Dolly Parton during the show, telling the audience that “I wanna say a proper ‘Thank You’ to all the musicians over the years that’ve inspired me. Dolly, we love you, thank you so much.”

The Hollywood Reporter published a story yesterday reported by Merle Ginsberg about the 2027 Met Gala with some curious details. According to Merle’s sources at Condé Nast, Anna Wintour was so bothered by the backlash to the Bozos Bezos Ball earlier this year, “she convened an all-hands Vogue meeting and vowed to dial things down for the 2027 Gala: a tighter guest list, less ostentation, a clearer theme and, with any luck, fewer protesters outside”.But, as Merle points o

Connor Hellebuyck has just broken another major NHL record.
The Winnipeg Jets' star goaltender has publicly stated that he wants to be traded, via a post by his agent on X.
This isn't exactly a surprise.
Why?
Because for several months now, Hellebuyck has made no secret of his frustration with the direction his own team has taken.
The American goaltender wants to win… and at 33, with several years still left on his $8.5 million-per-season contract, he clearly doesn't want to waste the pri

It's unclear what will happen with Samuel Montembeault.
Will he be traded before the start of the season? Or will he be sent down to the American Hockey League instead? Can we consider him a contender for the backup goaltender spot in Montreal next season?
Hmm…
One thing is certain: Kent Hughes will do whatever he can to put him in the best situation for him (and for the team). If a trade goes through, then so be it. And with Frederik Andersen getting injured in practice, we're keeping an

The Indianapolis Colts have decided to secure one of the key players on their special teams.
The team announced
Thursday that it had extended the contract of Rigoberto Sanchez
, its starting punter for several years.
According to reports from several sports journalists, Sanchez's new contract covers two additional seasons
. The 31-year-old was originally set to enter the final year of his previous contract with Indianapolis.

We know that.

Good news for fans of the Indianapolis franchise as the official schedule approaches.The organization has officially removed its star tight end from the list of players deemed unfit to practice—a crucial step moving forward.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is having a terrible season. Everyone knows it.
Since the start of the season, the Blue Jays have been looking for ways to help him get back on track so he can contribute to the team and live up to his immense talent.
As far as I'm concerned, giving him some rest (he's clearly aching all over) might help… but whatever.
One (logical) idea floating around among many people is to have him bat a bit lower in the lineup. It's crazy that he's still in the top three.

Nick Suzuki is an excellent captain. He never puts his foot in his mouth.
The most recent example? At the Asista Foundation golf tournament, which he sponsors, Suzuki was questioned by reporters for the first time in several weeks.
Unsurprisingly, the topic of the Habs' offseason came up again. And guess what? He was ready. Like many of his teammates, he hadn't put the past too far behind him.
When asked about his team's inactivity during the offseason, the Canadiens' captain said that having th

From the firing of manager Alex Cora to the remarkable run that put the team in playoff contention, not to mention Craig Breslow's lack of leadership and numerous injuries, the 2026 season was anything but easy for the Boston Red Sox.
And speaking of injuries, Roman Anthony's injury also sparked its share of controversy, as he was forced to miss most of the season due to a finger injury.
Throughout this time, criticism of the Sox's future star has been mounting, particularly regarding his behavi

Dominating the circuit outrageously with a stellar record of nine wins and just one loss, the Montreal club is running at full speed.For the reporters assigned to cover the team, this calm at the top is almost monotonous. Fortunately, quarterback Jason Maas and his inner circle stubbornly refuse to rest on their laurels. In practice, the intensity remains at its peak, whether it's fine-tuning tackling technique or correcting a sometimes undisciplined team.
This unshakable confidence sometimes bo

The season is just around the corner, and the Canadiens still haven’t found their No. 2 center.
Louis Jean said Tuesday night on 98.5 FM that Kent Hughes would have liked to have been more active during the offseason but wasn't able to be.
The options to start the season at center on the second line are therefore the same as last year: Alex Newhook, Oliver Kapanen, Jake Evans, Kirby Dach, and Michael Hage Phillip Danault.
Does that mean the position effectively goes to Oliver Kapanen?

Samuel Montembeault is still with the Canadiens organization.
It's not because Kent Hughes didn't try to trade him—quite the opposite. Louis Jean recently stated that the Canadiens had “done everything” to trade him.
But that doesn't mean the club wants to give him away or trade him at a discount.
It's not too late to trade him, and it's reasonable to think that, if the right opportunity arises, the Canadiens' GM will be able to send him elsewhere.
But for that to happen, an op
