Tracee Ellis Ross’s perfect blunt pony

Tracee Ellis Ross is having the best summer. For her 40th birthday in 2012, she performed a one-woman show that she arranged herself, booking out stages in NYC and LA for her friends – that’s how much she wanted to be in a one-woman show. And now she’s on Broadway, in Every Brilliant Thing, a one-woman show. It’s her Broadway debut, she’s the final of three performers in this production, after Daniel Radcliffe and Mariska Hargitay.Tracee is doing 40 shows in five we

Arber Xhekaj still doesn't have a contract lined up for next season. The defenseman, who finds himself caught between being the team's sixth and seventh defensemen, needs to reach an agreement with the CH by the start of the season.
It's not entirely unusual for a situation like this to “drag on,” though. Still, it hasn't been resolved yet.
In fact, it's unclear whether negotiations are progressing well or not. However, the defenseman's agent, Brian Bartlett, spoke briefly about the

Julia Roberts was in Idaho for Emma Roberts’s wedding the other day and has since been seen a few times in New York, which is also where she was before the wedding. It’s been weeks, actually. She has a home there but we don’t typically associate Julia with NYC as she spends most of her time in LA … but now that all three of her kids are in university in different parts of the US and abroad, she might be moving around a lot more.She’s been moving around New York rel

Harrison Bader aggravated his injury in an… unusual way.
The update on Harrison Bader is a bizarre one. He went to see a specialist for his plantar fasciitis, but the Giants announced that he had a scooter accident “on Saturday night/early Sunday morning” and further injured his left foot. He will now undergo an MRI for the new injury.

The Montreal Canadiens gave us some thrilling moments last spring.
The team's playoff run ignited passion throughout the city, and the good news is that we might see this scenario play out again before long.
After all, everything points to the next few years in Montreal being really, really exciting for Habs fans. 
I don't know about you, but there was a moment during the recent playoffs when I caught myself thinking that it was… possible.
I didn't necessarily believe it because ther

My bad, I was wrong, I’m the problem… when I said that the LA premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day would be the last because I actually thought they were already in London, and they were, but for The Odyssey, three weeks ago. There have been so many carpets, it’s confusing, forgive me.Today Tom Holland and Zendaya are in London which is where they live – it’s one of their properties but it’s also where they spend most of their time when they’re not wor

Brendan Gallagher is set to begin a brand-new chapter in his career with the Vancouver Canucks.
After 14 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, the veteran will now bring his experience and leadership to his childhood team.
However, early (NHL) projections for the upcoming season place him on the Canucks' fourth line.
This situation speaks volumes about where he is in his career, but it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
Because at 34, Gallagher is no longer the player capable of scoring 30 g

Last year, Dave Dombrowski tried to take Bryce Harper down a peg by publicly questioning whether the player could return to the elite ranks.
You can imagine that Harper wasn't exactly thrilled to hear that, especially since it was said in front of the cameras. It's understandable.
Still, it didn't stop him from having a strong first half of the season.
So the question I'm asking myself is: Is it a coincidence that, on the heels of his rough July, the Phillies publicly criticized him again?

With just a few days to go before training camp begins, the Atlanta Falcons have decided to bolster their depth at the quarterback position.The organization has signed veteran Cooper Rush, a move that comes as two of its quarterbacks are currently dealing with physical issues.
According to reports from ESPN, this move is primarily intended to ensure stability during training camp. Tua Tagovailoa is reportedly dealing with a back issue, but initial assessments are reassuring. The team does not ex

Those idiots with fake accounts on X…
Seriously, I always wonder:
1. Who gets a kick out of fooling people?
2. Who falls for it without checking?
Whatever, they exist and we have to deal with them.

The Recording Academy introduced several new Grammy categories last month – among them the Best Asian Pop Music Performance award, better known as the BTS Grammy. Let’s not pretend that the award wasn’t created for BTS, because as I wrote at the time, even in the description of the category on their website, the Recording Academy had to namecheck the band.The announcement of the Best Asian Pop Music Performance Grammy did not go over well. Many pointed out that the creatio

I don’t know if John Mozeliak will still be the Angels’ general manager in 2027. For now, he’s been hired to finish out the season and oversee the transition.
Rumors, however, suggest that the Angels and Mozeliak may decide to simply stick with the current setup so that the veteran can remain in the decision-maker's seat.
But whether he remains GM or not, the Angels are expected to keep him within the organization moving forward. And that would lend credibility to a club that d

The Sharks settled an important matter this morning.
Macklin Celebrini has signed his new contract, which will pay him an average of $18.8 million per season (starting next year) through the end of the 2031–2032 season.
And looking at his deal, one thing becomes clear: the Habs are really, really well-positioned right now.
It's crazy, but Lane Hutson and Ivan Demidov (combined) will earn less annually than Macklin Celebrini. Adding up Lane's and Ivan's salaries brings the total to $18 mill

They couldn’t know it then, but when they opened Juke Fried Chicken in Chinatown, Justin Tisdall and Bryan Satterford were preparing for a delivery boom that would help their restaurant survive.“We knew our food had to travel well,” Tisdall said. “DoorDash had just entered the market, so we were able to negotiate free delivery for six months. We wanted that green Juke box in people’s homes. Once people saw the box, we knew the food would speak for itself.”Ten

The Canadian Football League (CFL) has announced the players who stood out the most during Week 8.
Thanks to their outstanding performances, Cody Fajardo, Tyreik McAllister, and Travis Theis were each named Player of the Week in their respective categories.
This recognition is awarded following an evaluation by a committee composed of CFL experts in football operations, official statistics, and content. Individual performances, statistics, and the players' impact on game outcomes are among the f

Zac Efron was on holiday in Sardinia recently, seen by the pool, and it’s been a while. For someone as famous as he was in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Zac has kept a much lower profile over the last decade. But he is making interesting performance choices, with perhaps a theme emerging from his next three projects.Zac has two films in post-production that should be ready for release since filming has been wrapped on both for at least a year. In Famous, Zac plays a nobody called Lance D

Michael B. Jordan is the reigning Best Actor, but he is not taking any time off from straight f-cking excellence as he is back in the director’s chair for The Thomas Crown Affair, his update of Norman Jewison’s classic heist thriller-romance. The original 1968 film starred Steve McQueen as Thomas Crown, a thrill-seeking rich guy who does heists for fun and profit. Faye Dunaway plays the investigator who tracks and falls for him. In 1999, John McTiernan remade the film with Pierce Bro

Wow.
Big news in the NHL: Macklin Celebrini has signed his (new) contract.

— San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) July 29, 2026Keep in mind that Macklin Celebrini still has one year remaining on his entry-level contract.

The Milwaukee Brewers need to add a pitcher to their starting rotation by the trade deadline if they want to finally take it to the next level and reach the World Series.
While the Brewers are the biggest threat to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League, with Brandon Woodruff and Quinn Priester set to miss the rest of the season, another pitcher is desperately needed.
That's why the name of Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers has been circulating recently and will continue to do so until

In his final season with the Canadiens, Jake Allen played a total of 21 games.
But it's worth noting that in '23–'24, the Habs decided to stick with three goalies for a long time. There was a three-way rotation in net, and I want to remind you just how much that situation was talked about in Montreal during the season.
That's to be expected. 
But Allen, for his part, didn't like finding himself in that kind of situation. He admitted it in an interview with DailyFaceoff: he felt like h

At every NFL training camp, the battles for the quarterback position captivate football fans.
In 2026, several teams are kicking off their preparations with a major decision to make at quarterback—a situation that could shape the course of their season.
Among the teams drawing the most attention are the Atlanta Falcons, the Cleveland Browns, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Minnesota Vikings. Each has two—or more—candidates capable of claiming the starting role.
In Atlanta, the c

Right now, Zachary Bolduc and Arber Xhekaj are restricted free agents.
The Canadiens can't lose them without having the right to counter. But if the season started today, they wouldn't be able to play in any games.
Unless Kent Hughes has reached an agreement with his players, but it hasn't been announced yet? I don't believe that, but I'm raising the possibility anyway.
We can all agree that this situation isn't the end of the world. But still, one might wonder why these two Habs players (just l

There is no Celebration of Light series in 2026, but the City of Vancouver has teamed up with BrandLive and the park board for a one-night fireworks celebration on Friday, July 31.

Last night, the Blue Jays had a terrible night in many ways.
It started when Shane Bieber had his worst start in a Blue Jays uniform. After two strong outings and with the trade deadline just a few days away, the timing couldn't have been much worse.
He couldn't even make it through the first inning, walking no fewer than six batters in 0.2 innings of work.
He had absolutely no control. And even though it was hot and he couldn't get a good grip on the ball… it was hot for both teams.
