Madonna now and forever

Madonna’s been in Paris for Fashion Week. As we saw yesterday she was seated front row between Charli XCX and Connor Storrie at Saint Laurent, the pop culture mother of all the cool kids. Who still considers herself one of the cool kids – both an icon to them but also a contemporary, considering she’s about to drop a new album, Confessions II, that’s meant to be played in the club, the gayer the club the better.View this post on InstagramA post shared by WWD (@wwd)

I’m not a One Tree Hill historian so I need a primer on why Hilarie Burton unfollowed Sophia Bush. It’s not just that they were co-stars, they had a podcast together.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Sophia Bush (@sophiabush)
I refuse to believe the TNT Madison Square Garden wedding rumours. It’s just so gauche. Like Lainey wrote yesterday, even the NYT is hedging its bets with reports of permits being pulled. Maybe she is using MSG for a concert? Her performing close

As a sign that the 2026 Major League Baseball season is fast approaching, we're already six weeks away from the MLB trade deadline, and things are going to move quickly in the coming weeks.
So without further ado, here's the latest edition of Passion MLB's power rankings. Last week's rankings are shown in parentheses.
1 – Los Angeles Dodgers (1)
2 – Atlanta Braves (2)
3 – Milwaukee Brewers (3)
4 – New York Yankees (4)

Tom Holland and Zendaya are now in London promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Before that it was Paris, just last night, and before that Rome, earlier this week. Normally when Zendaya is on a press tour, her fashion is the dominant headline. On this press tour though… I mean I’ve enjoyed the fashion, the fashion is always, always, always A+++, but the fashion is not what I’m thinking about.What I’m thinking about is how cute they are, how sweet they are – so cute

If the Detroit Tigers continue to struggle as they have since the start of the season, two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is likely to be traded. However, if Skubal continues to perform as he has since returning to action, Detroit may not receive the full value of its star player in exchange for his services.
Because once again yesterday (Wednesday), Skubal—making his third start since returning from the injured list—allowed four runs to the New York Yankees en route to a 4-

One of my most anticipated movies of the year is Practical Magic 2, the long-awaited sequel to one of my favorite films of all time, Practical Magic. Following the teaser we got a couple months ago, there is now a full trailer, and dare I hope? Practical Magic 2 might be good?I was already on board to return to the world of the magical Owens sisters, but then you show me nearly naked, tattooed Lee Pace and…like…yes, this is for me, thank you very much. (True story, based on the des

At this time four summers ago in 2022, our gossip preoccupation was Don’t Worry Darling, directed by Olivia Wilde, starring Florence Pugh and also Olivia’s then-boyfriend Harry Styles. Florence wasn’t f-cking with the movie, all kinds of rumours were flying around about what went down on that set, and the most toxic corner of Harry’s fandom was taking full advantage of the situation in a hate campaign to bring Olivia down. The whole mess peaked in August that year when th

The NFL is continuing its preparations for one of the most anticipated events on the American football calendar.The league has officially confirmed that the 2027 NFL Draft will take place in Washington, D.C., and has also announced the dates for this major celebration of professional football.
The event will be held from April 29 to May 1, 2027, on the famous National Mall, one of the most iconic sites in the United States. For three days, football fans will have their eyes on the nation's capit

What will the Canadiens do in the next few hours? That's the million-dollar question right now.
We know the club is currently looking into a lot of different options. And even though Jeff Gorton says the club expects to draft 28th tomorrow, there are reasons to be skeptical.
We'll believe it when we see it.
And it's interesting to note that in the last few minutes, one name has started to be linked quite a bit to the Canadiens: Kirill Marchenko.
Elliotte Friedman, for example, said he wouldn't b

It's true that the Toronto Blue Jays have had to deal with their share of injuries since the start of this Major League Baseball season. But the fact that they currently have a record below .500 isn't just because the infirmary has been overflowing.And we saw further proof of that yesterday (Wednesday) in the game against the Houston Astros. Jeff Hoffman replaced Tommy Nance—who had come in to relieve Trey Yasavage—with two outs in the seventh inning. He intentionally walked Yordan A

Michael Hage is one of the top prospects in the Canadiens' organization.
He's seen as a young player with the skills to play in the top six of an NHL team, but he may still need a little more time before he gets there.
That's one of the main reasons he's said he wants to return for a third season in the NCAA. He wants to work on his game as a center and add some weight to his frame as well. But not so fast…
If we're to believe what Jeff Gorton said earlier this afternoon, Michael Hage mig

The first round of the 2026 National League draft will take place tomorrow.
And just for your information, the Canadiens currently hold the 28th overall pick in the draft.
Will the Habs select a player with that pick? Or should we expect a trade instead? Jeff Gorton commented on the subject just a few minutes ago…
Basically, Gorton said there's a “good chance” the Habs will draft at No. 28 tomorrow. The Canadiens are exploring their options, but Gorton's comments suggested tha

The Mets’ season couldn’t be going any worse.
Yesterday, in a doubleheader, Carlos Mendoza's team lost 10-3 and 10-5 to the Cubs. Francisco Lindor's return (in Game 2) didn't change a thing.
What stands out most, though, is that in Game 2, the Mets committed six errors. You read that right.
Every infielder had at least one (Mark Vientos and Marcus Semien had two each), which is absolutely terrible. The Mets' manager wasn't exactly happy.
Carlos Mendoza: “Everybody's pissed. Eve

Terrion Arnold’s promising career has just taken an unexpected turn.The Detroit Lions cornerback was arrested in Florida as part of an investigation into an alleged kidnapping and armed robbery that occurred earlier this year.
According to authorities, the incident dates back to early February in the Tampa area. Three young men were allegedly lured into an apartment where they were held captive, physically assaulted, and robbed of some personal belongings. Investigators claim that the 23-y

Will the Canadiens manage to sign a quality forward by tomorrow?
That's the question everyone is asking right now.
A few names have been circulating in Montreal over the past few days, and among them, Mason McTavish stands out because he would help the Canadiens at center. But…
But even though the Habs are still interested in him (according to Jimmy Murphy), the Ottawa Senators are currently the favorites to acquire the young Ducks player.
Still according to Murphy (RG Media), the Sens ar

It's the story of a guy, you know what I mean.
The guy is the GM of an NHL team, and for 18 months, he's been trying to trade a young, talented player who doesn't seem to be able to reach his full potential on his current team.
He receives some solid offers, but he demands more. He wants more. He stands his ground.
Eighteen months later, he realizes he's asking for too much and resigns himself to trading the young player in question for considerably less than he'd hoped. And for a return that's

Kent Hughes is definitely not out playing golf this morning.
The Canadiens' GM can clearly see that the other teams in the East are continuing to improve, and he's surely on the phone trying to make some moves.
It's his job, after all. And while we're not saying time is running out, we're all waiting to see what he'll do in the coming hours with the draft coming up this weekend… 
One of the Canadiens' goals is to acquire a player who can play in the top six, and the team would like t

What will the Canadiens do to improve?
One possibility on the table is Mason McTavish coming to town. It's possible that this is the path Kent Hughes will take in the coming days.
There are some doubts about him… but maybe he'll be the solution.Anthony Di Marco: DFO was told Mason McTavish's value isn't as high across the league as it was a season ago; there's a bit of trepidation regarding McTavish as to whether or not he's a true top-six player – Daily Faceoff (6/23)

Once again, there was some movement yesterday. And once again, Kent Hughes didn’t make a move.
Is it the end of the world? No, since the draft hasn't happened yet. The Canadiens' GM still has time to get what he wants.
But he'll have to do it. The status quo is not acceptable.
To improve the Canadiens, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton will have to be willing to part with some good players. After all, it's clear: right now, the sellers have the upper hand.
The Canadiens have plenty of assets to

The introduction of the ABS system has changed the face of Major League Baseball—for the better. That doesn't mean, however, that everyone knows how to use it properly. So, without further ado, here are the top five complainers in MLB, starting with Sal Stewart.

The Sabres pulled off a major coup by acquiring the Blackhawks' fourth overall pick in a big trade on Tuesday.
On paper, the fourth overall pick is incredible, but perhaps not so much for a team trying to be competitive right now. Acquiring that pick may have been the first step toward something bigger in Buffalo.
That's what was discussed on the latest episode of Sportsnet's “Real Kyper & Bourne.” 
With this pick (and perhaps other assets), the Sabres could try to acquire C

Seeing Michael Hage return to Michigan for another season has left Canadiens fans wondering. It's hard to believe that a player—whom most people see as already ready for the pros—would want to stay in college.
By staying an extra season at Michigan, Hage ensures he'll take on the role of big brother and leader. He'll also be one of the best players on the team thanks to his experience.
The Canadiens prospect will, however, face pressure to prove that last point. The Wolverines have c
