Tyra Banks is reality checking her reality check

Just a few months after the bombshell documentary Reality Check: America’s Next Top Model hit Netflix, Tyra Banks, the show host and creator of the mid-2000s legendary reality TV series, has officially filed a defamation lawsuit against the streaming service. The lawsuit, filed in California, alleges that despite Tyra sitting down for a more than three-hour interview, her total speaking time ended up being just 16 minutes in the actual production, and that her portrayal was edited to suppo

The MLB All-Star Game is just one month away. As a reminder, this year's summer classic will be held in Philadelphia.
The Home Run Derby will take place on July 13, while the game itself will be played the following day.
This means that now more than ever, the fan vote to determine which players will participate is one to watch. And today, we just got an update on the voting results.
And what stands out in the American League is that despite their tough season, the Blue Jays players are very pop

Things are really not going well for the San Francisco Giants. They weren't going well yesterday, they aren't going well today, and they most likely won't be going well tomorrow either. 
In that vein, on May 11, I wrote to you, esteemed readers of PassionMLB, to let you know that the Giants were in disarray and that one of the causes of this disarray was the poor performance of their trio of star players. We're talking about Matt Chapman, Willy Adames, and Rafael Devers.

Ivan Demidov seems to have found his place in Montreal.
Even though many European players are taking advantage of the summer to return home, he's staying in the city to continue training for the upcoming season.
He won't be alone.
In an interview with RG, Demidov explained that Alexander Zharovsky will also be spending part of the summer in Montreal. The two young Russians plan to train together and spend time in the city.Ivan Demidov will spend the summer in Montreal training with Canadiens pro

Canadiens fans have had a spring they won't soon forget.
After all, few people expected the Habs to reach the Eastern Conference Final with such a young core. The team exceeded many expectations and managed to convince a lot of people that the future looks very promising in Montreal.
The question now is where the Canadiens truly stand among the NHL's top teams.
In an article published on The Athletic, Dan Santaromita looked at DraftKings' initial odds for the 2027 Stanley Cup. Despite the Habs'

Winning two out of three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers is no small feat.
The White Sox look increasingly legit after taking two of three from the Dodgers.

June has been a month to remember for Vancouver’s Christopher Gaze.First his memoir The Road to Bard: A Legacy of Shakespeare on Canada’s West Coast was released, then Bard on the Beach, the Shakespeare festival he founded, kicked off its 37th season. And to put a final royal touch on things the 74-year-old Surrey, England native has been awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) “For services to British Arts and Culture in Canada.”“It is a wonder

The summer of 2026 is shaping up to be a busy one in Montreal. After seeing the Habs reach the conference finals, Kent Hughes has his work cut out for him to take his team to the next level… and to clean house.
Because yes, we often talk about who the Habs might add, but there are also those the club might part ways with. Brendan Gallagher is a name making the rounds, and we wonder if Kirby Dach will follow him. And Patrik Laine, who will be a free agent in 16 days, obviously won't be bac

Steven Spielberg has long been preoccupied with aliens, and with the exception of his 2005 remake of War of the Worlds, his vision of the encounter between aliens and humanity is generally peaceful, underpinned by good intention and cooperation, and threatened by power-mongering bureaucracies of government. But as a storyteller, Spielberg seems to trust that humans and aliens can not only survive an encounter but thrive together. His latest film, Disclosure Day, forms a loose trilogy with Close

Max Fried has been injured for a few weeks with the Yankees.
While it's not the end of the world, it's not ideal. After all, no team would say no to having a starter of his caliber.
The good news, however, is that Fried is moving on to the next stage of his recovery. On Saturday, he pitched from the mound.
It was a first for him since his elbow forced him to take a brief stint on the Yankees' injured list.

Bryce Pickford had a breakout season in the WHL. The defenseman tallied 45 goals and 83 points in 55 games with Medicine Hat, earning him the title of Defenseman of the Year in the CHL.
He was also named WHL Player of the Year… and, unsurprisingly, Defenseman of the Year in his league.
Except that, in reality, all of this is even more impressive because, as Scott Wheeler reported, the young player accomplished all of this despite a shoulder injury.
But ultimately, this isn't great news, b

The Dallas Cowboys can breathe a sigh of relief: their star wide receiver, George Pickens, is officially at the team's training facility to undergo his physical and participate in the mandatory minicamp taking place from Tuesday through Thursday.
 
His presence puts an end to several days of uncertainty, as the 25-year-old had initially left his participation in doubt. After missing the offseason voluntary activities (OTAs), his potential absence from minicamp had raised questions within th

The Canadiens have shown interest in Mason McTavish.
But they aren't the only ones keeping an eye on the situation.
According to the latest reports, the Bruins and the Blues were among the teams to watch in the race for the Anaheim center. However… the list could start to grow pretty quickly.
Marco D'Amico (On the Market) has identified three clubs that could join the race.
He mentions the Ottawa Senators, the Winnipeg Jets… and the Philadelphia Flyers. And in all three cases, it m

On the other side of the continent, David and Victoria Beckham followed David’s Walk of Fame ceremony with dinner at Nobu in Malibu. It was once again a family affair with Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Seven joining their parents. Romeo’s and Cruz’s girlfriends, Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel, respectively, were also there. So it was the Walk of Fame group out to dinner, but the weekend was not without drama.Friday afternoon, apparently immediately after David’s Walk of Fame c

It's a sign of how quickly time flies: it's been exactly one year since, just hours after sweeping a three-game series against their longtime rivals, the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox stunned the baseball world by trading Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.
In return, the Red Sox acquired a package that included pitchers Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison, and Jose Bello, as well as outfielder James Tibbs III.
And 365 days later, this trade looks no better for the Sox than it did back the

Big news in the NHL.
According to Elliotte Friedman (Sportsnet), the NHL will officially launch an investigation into Mike Babcock's resignation in Columbus in 2023.
Also according to Friedman, the question is whether there will be additional penalties for Babcock… or if the Oilers will be free to hire him. 
Amid all this, let's remember one thing: the phone incident may not have been the official reason for his departure from the Blue Jackets three years ago.Rumors were circulating

The Denver Broncos have just made an interesting move in the free-agent market by announcing the signing of wide receiver Hakeem Butler.The former star of the St. Louis Battlehawks in the United Football League (UFL) is thus making his return to the NFL after a stint marked by dominant performances in an alternative league.
At 30 years old, Butler has established himself as one of the most explosive offensive players in the UFL. Last season, he recorded 29 receptions for an impressive total of 6

Continuing to fuel Manhattan wedding rumors, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were at dinner in New York over the weekend. Specifically, Times Square. The way the wedding rumor machine has been working, every appearance Taylor makes is a coded hint about The Wedding. We must study the texts to learn the secrets of The Wedding. If I am decoding the secret messages correctly, the ceremony will be at Madison Square Garden, and the reception will be at the Times Square Olive Garden. The event planning

The Green Bay Packers are gearing up for a crucial offseason, as several roster decisions will need to be made ahead of the 2026 NFL season.Among the most sensitive issues, the quarterback position is drawing particular attention.
Behind starter Jordan Love, the pecking order already seems to be taking shape. Veteran Tyrod Taylor currently holds the backup quarterback role and appears to be a safe choice to serve as the primary backup. His position within the organization seems firmly establishe

Bryce Pickford’s name is starting to become more and more familiar among Montreal Canadiens fans.
And if you've been following his season, you'll understand why I'm saying this.
The defenseman, after all, had a truly sensational season in the WHL. And today, he's (once again) being recognized for his achievements.
Pickford was named Defenseman of the Year in the Canadian Hockey League, which includes the QMJHL, the WHL, and the OHL. That means Pickford was the best defenseman in Canada for

Last year, the Toronto Blue Jays made it a point of honor to be opportunistic and excel at situational baseball. That run took them all the way to Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, where they were just two outs away from the title.
This season, however, it's a completely different story. Admittedly, this can be partly explained by the number of injuries the Toronto team has had to deal with and the fact that two of the team's best hitters, George Springer and Vladimir G

For decades, the traditional path to becoming a general manager in the NHL involved a career as a player, coach, or scout.
But… Eric Tulsky has completely rewritten the rules of the sport, in his own way.
Because it's true: now the general manager of the Carolina Hurricanes and a brand-new Stanley Cup champion, Tulsky represents perhaps one of the most fascinating stories in modern hockey.
Let's take a quick look back.
Long before hoisting the sport's most prestigious trophy, Tulsky was b

Dear Gossips,As I mentioned on Friday, we are in the Emmy nominating period which means all the “for your consideration” events and Q&As are happening right now. To that end, The Pitt had a season two “for your consideration” discussion panel last week that has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

Yesterday, the Toronto Blue Jays lost (8-3) to the New York Yankees. The ninth inning proved to be the deciding factor for the visitors.
There are several things worth mentioning regarding the Blue Jays. Here they are.
1. Max Scherzer, on the verge of his 3,500th career strikeout, was presented with a large bottle of cognac by the Blue Jays.
According to Hazel Mae, it was a bottle of Louis XIII. For those unfamiliar with it, just know that it's worth thousands of dollars.

Rumors surrounding Tyreek Hill's future are gaining momentum following a recent public appearance that did not go unnoticed.The former star wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs sparked a wave of reactions among NFL fans following a comment he made during an autograph session in Missouri.
While in Jefferson City to meet with fans, Hill took the time to sign memorabilia, including several Chiefs footballs. It was then that he reportedly hinted that a return to Kansas City might not be out of t

The Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup.
As my colleague Maxime Truman said this morning, the Hurricanes have the potential to dominate for a few more years. They'll have stability everywhere—except maybe in net.
One wonders if the team sees Brandon Bussi, a waiver wire pick, as a Cam Ward 2.0 or just a guy who happened to be good at the right time…
All that to say that now that the games are behind us, the offseason can really begin.
And on that note, here are a few key dates to keep in
