Life is going to be hectic with two babies under the age of 2, but theres nowhere else Id want to be than in our little family, Jole told People.

Well, maybe she also wouldnt mind spending some of her time training with a DWTS pro. PureDWTS speculates that four-foot-two Jole may be paired with Sasha Farber, who has some experience dealing with a height difference. According to USA Today, he competed with four-foot-eight Jersey Shore star Snooki during Season 17. Snooki said that she wanted their team name to be Team Shorty because they were the shortest couple to compete that season.

However, Terra Jole has only started following one Dancing with the Stars pro on Twitter, and that pro is Mark Ballas. According to BuddyTV, Marks shortest partner was five-foot-10 gymnast Shawn Johnson. They took home the Season 8 Mirrorball Trophy.

Terra will still be the shortest contestant to ever compete on the show, so her height will present a unique challenge for whoever her partner turns out to be. However, the reality show star describes herself as a born entertainer, and she has plenty of experience performing live in front of crowds. According to Radar Online, Terra was one of Miley Cyrus backup dancers during her Bangerz Tour.

One night in Vegas, we had a big dance party. Mileys a great dancer, but I can shake my b**t better than her. Ive got a lot of junk in my trunk! Jole said of partying with the pop star.

Terra also made a name for herself by working as a Britney Spears impersonator so shell surely want to perform to one of the pop stars songs on Dancing with the Stars. However, the Little Women: LA star didnt create her mini Britney persona because she wanted to imitate Britney Spears dance moves.

Ever since I was a little girl Ive wanted to be a singer and when I created mini Britney it wasnt because I wanted to be a miniature version of Britney Spears, its because I wanted to sing for a living, she told OK! Magazine.

Terra Jole has also performed as mini Gaga and mini Cher, so she shouldnt have any problem becoming different characters for her Dancing with the Stars performances.

Other rumored Dancing with the Stars Season 23 contenders include Disney star Jake T. Austin, model Amber Rose, and General Hospital star Emma Samms. People has also confirmed that Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is in talks to compete, and E! News reports that musician Kenneth Babyface Edmonds has signed on for the show.

The pros who will be competing for the Mirrorball Trophy include Chmerkovskiy brothers Maks and Val, Emma Slater, Sasha Farber, Witney Carson, Artem Chigvintsev, Allison Holker, Lindsay Arnold, Gleb Savchenko, and Sharna Burgess. According to Just Jared, Mark Ballas actually has not been confirmed as a Season 23 pro.

Dancing with the Stars returns September 12 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. What do you think of Terra Joles addition to the cast?

Surreal standoff ends with Chris Brown under arrest, but the R&B singer says he"s the victim


CHRIS BROWN: ILLUMINATi SET-UP or UNSTABLE DRUG ADDICT??

Chris Brown and the Los Angeles Police Department spent much of Tuesday locked in a surreal standoff at theR&B performer"s Tarzana homeover allegations that he threatened a woman with a gun.

The woman said Brown pointed the gun at her and she fled in fear, then balked at signing a nondisclosure agreement before escaping from the singers property.

For hours, LAPD officers along with an army of reporters stood outside the house asBrown refusedto let them in. During theimpasse, the 27-year-oldposted a series of videos on social media in which he railed against the police and said he was being unfairly demonized.

This latest peculiarchapter in L.A.sannals of celebrity justice ended late in the afternoon when Brown was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released around 11:15 p.m. after posting $250,000 bail, according to Los Angeles County jail records.

See the most-read stories this hour

The incident began early Tuesday when the LAPD received a 911 call about a woman claiming she had been threatened by the performer, police said. Officers arrived about 3 a.m. at the estate in the 5000 block of Corbin Avenue.

The woman, Baylee Curran,told The Times thatBrownpointed a gun at her during a violent ragebefore she ran outside.Curran said she and a friend went to Browns home with a business associate, who was invited by the musician. She wanted to talk to Brown about future projects, she said.

Inside the home, a fewpeople were milling about and talking, she recounted. She eventuallywent to Browns backyardto get some fresh air. Her confrontation with the musician erupted soon after she walked back into the house, she said.

A man was showcasing diamond bracelets, necklaces and watches inside the home, and Curran said she was admiring the jewelry.

I dont know if it was Chris friend or how he was related, but thats when he told me to back away from the diamond necklace and started cussing me out and calling me names, she said. Thats when Chris pulled his gun and told me to Get out,he said. Im sick of you girls, get the ...out!

Curran said she fled outside with a friend, but they were forced to wait by the homes gate until Browns associates retrieved her phone which she had to hand over as a condition of entering the residence, she said. One of Browns associates walked over with the phone but said hed return it only if she signed a nondisclosure agreement, she said.

Curran said she refused, snatched her phone from the mans hand and ran away. The man ran to a Jeep to give chase, but Curran and her friend escaped to a neighbors property and hid under an SUV when the Jeep drove by, she said. The neighbor contacted police.

When officers arrived, they were instructed to obtain a search warrant, police sources said. As detectives waited for the warrant, Brown shared videos on his Instagram account, praising his own talents as both a performer and father,and criticizing the media for portraying him as a villain.

In thevideos, he said he woke up to helicopters overhead and officersat his gate, and maintained that he was not guilty of the accusations.

Good luck. When you get the warrant or whatever you need to do, youre going towalk right up in here and youre going tosee nothing, you idiots, he said in one video, occasionally taking a drag of a cigarette. Im tired of ... dealing with yall.

Detectives eventually entered the residence shortly before 1 p.m. and at least half a dozen peopleexited the home, a few of them holding their hands behind their heads as police patted them down.

Were getting the cooperation of everyone that came out, said Lt. ChrisRamirez, an LAPD spokesman.

Mark Geragos, Browns longtime attorney,told The Times that during the search of the home, he waswith the singer, who denies any wrongdoing.Brownis scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on Sept. 20, according to jail records. He has not been formally charged. It is common for prosecutors to announce a decision on whether to file charges close to the date of arraignment.

The results of the search, as well as other witness testimony, will weigh heavily in the prosecutions decision to charge Brown, experts say.

At the end of the day it is a he-said she-said scenario, said Dmitry Gorin, adefense attorney and a former s*x crimes prosecutor in Los Angeles. The prosecution must find other witnesses, surveillance footage, the firearm in question, to corroborate what happened to ever be able to prove this case in front of a jury."

Its unclear what police recovered from the property. A law enforcement source confirmed that officers found a duffel bag that had apparently been tossed from a window. The bag contained evidence related to the case, the source said.

Previous incidents at the residence includea home-invasion robbery and multiple complaints aboutBrownand his friends riding all-terrain vehicles up and down the street.

Brown, a native of Virginia, rose to fame as a teenage heartthrob but became one of R&Bs more notorious bad boys following the 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend Rihanna. He spent six years on probation after pleading guilty to the attack, and his probation was lifted in March 2015.

The singer completed about 1,000 hours of community service. He was also ordered to attend anti-domestic-violence classes.

In recent years, he has also faced charges in connection with driving without a license and accusations of a hitand run. He admitted in May 2014 to violating his probation after assaulting a person outside a Washington, D.C., hotel.

Browns former manager, Michael Guirguis, known as Mike G, filed a lawsuit in June that alleged the singer attacked him. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, contends the singer punched Guirguis four times in the face and neck during a May 10 incident.

The complaint states:The assault was unprovoked and, regrettably, just another attack in Browns long history of violent and abusive behavior.

Calvin Johnson: "Dancing With The Stars" 2016 Fave Not Ryan Lochte? Or Maybe It"s Terra Jole, The First Little ...


Nyle DiMarco & Peta"s Paso Doble - Dancing with the Stars 2016 Week 8

The cast of Dancing With The Stars 2016 has been recently revealed and it looks like fans have their early favorites. Despite Ryan Lochtes live appearance in Good Morning America most recently, Calvin Johnson, not the Olympic swimmer, is the most talked about contestant. It looks like the former Detroit Lions wide receiver has easily won the hearts of fans and is now the early favorite in the show. But then theres Terra Jole who might also be one of the favorites. Jole happens to be the first little person to join the show and that sole fact can be her biggest asset.

Fans are delighted to know that Dancing With The Stars features an athletic flavor led by Johnson and Lochte. Its entirely new for the two athletes who agreed to join the hit competition show.

Johnson shocked the world of football when he confirmed his retirement earlier this year at age 30. Thus, Detroit fans are truly delighted to know that he will be seen on the ABC hit reality show. Johnsons former teammates were reportedly surprised about him joining a dance competition and commented that hes going to do awful.

Meanwhile, Lochte shared that hes really excited. He also admitted that being part of a show like Dancing With The Stars is completely new for him. The 32-year-old swimmer exclaimed that its time for him to hang up the Speedo, put on his dancing shoes and get in the ballroom.

The Little Woman with No Shortage of Talent

Aside from the two athletes, Jole, a 36-year-old Little Women: LA star, is also the apple of the eye now. She stands 1.27 metres tall but she has no shortage of charm and talent. Jole has been in the entertainment industry for 15 good years and we just cant wait to see her dancing in the show.

Dancing with the Stars Season 23 is slated to premiere on Monday, September 12, at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.

Minnesota Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater has dislocated knee, completely torn ACL


Gottlieb: Teddy Bridgewater injured

Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater suffered a season-ending torn ACL and dislocated knee on a non-contact injury during practice, the club confirmed Tuesday evening.

"Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury today at practice," head athletic trainer Eric Sugerman said in a statement. "The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage. Fortunately, there appears to be no nerve or arterial damage. Surgical repair will be scheduled within the next few days. Although the recovery time will be significant, we expect Teddy to make a full recovery. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and our athletic training staff for all of their help today. Teddy has already displayed the attitude needed to overcome this injury and attack his rehab."

Bridgewater went down on a dropback approximately 25 minutes into practice, which was quickly canceled as an ambulance arrived. The traumatic scene reportedly included some of Peterson"s teammates vomiting on the field.

"Well you know today is a disappointing day," Mike Zimmer said about in a news conference shortly after injury. "Number one Teddy is such an amazing kid. Everybody loves him. So it was disappointing for them and I didnt think we were going to get much out of practice. Well get back in heretomorrowand well get back to work. Were not going to stick our heads in the sand. Were going to tuck our tail between our legs. Were not looking for excuses. Were going to go out and fight like we always do. We got some great football players on this team. Well figure ways to win football games if hes not here and thats what were going to do."

Zimmer said he"s leaned on a pair of mentors, Bill Parcells and, in spirit, his late father Bill, who passed away last August, in the immediate aftermath Tuesday.

"I"ve talked to Coach (Bill) Parcells a couple times today. Ive talked to well, in spirit, Ive talked to my dad, and he always found a way to do it," said an emotional Zimmer. "So, were going to figure out a way. Were not going to stick our heads in the sand. Were going to figure out a way. Everybody can count us out if they want, but I think thatd be the wrong thing to do."

Zimmer didn"t rule out the possibility of acquiring a veteran as the Vikings" Plan B, but he expressed confidence in 36-year-old backup Shaun Hill, who"s been "great this preseason," he said.

After losing his father last summer, and following the sudden passing of his wife seven years ago, Zimmer said he"ll channel the experiences into helping his team battle this adversity.

"Yeah, thats our job, find a way," said Zimmer. "No one is going to feel sorry for us, no one is going to cry. The Tennessee Titans or the Green Bay Packers, we can go down the schedule, no one is going to feel sorry for us if thats the case. So Im not going to feel sorry for us either. Im not going to let this team feel sorry for itself. Were going to grieve today and upset about it. Its more about our feelings for Teddy and him as a person and getting better than it is about anything else. Teddys a great kid and h**l be back as soon as he possibly can if it is real bad. But were going to keep fighting."

Bridgewater, 23, was set to enter his second full season as the starter for the defending NFC North champions. After sitting out the second preseason game with reported shoulder soreness, he returned Sunday and was outstanding in the team"s final tuneup and, as it turns out, his final outing of 2016.

Katharine McPhee has "no regrets" about cheating on husband


Katharine McPhee - Terrified ft. Zachary Levi

Katharine McPhee has no regrets in life even when it comes to her infidelities.

The "Smash" actress came clean to Ocean Drive magazine about her headline-making love life, where she cheated on her husband with the married director of the series, Michael Morris.

McPhee married her husband Nick Cokas, who is 19 years her senior, back in 2008 and the two split in 2014 after news broke that the singer was having an affair with her "Smash" boss Morris.

Morris is married to actress Mary McCormack and they have two children together, while McPhee and Cokas officially divorced in February 2016.

"I don"t have any regrets. All of the choices I made I learned from in a really deep way," McPhee told the magazine.

"I have always been fortunate to have strong influences in my life who have forced me to look at my own choices and my own failures. I think we are all on that journey to have more awareness about who we are as a person and to grow and learn."

The single actress who was last linked to her "Scorpion" co-star Elyes Gabel in 2014 is now unsure how to approach dating in her 30s.

"I"m trying to date in a way that doesn"t lock me down," she said. "There is still a certain level of attachment with the prior relationship that I was in, so emotionally to be suddenly dating other people is not as easy."

While she"s been told that she should just get around and "hook up with a bunch of people," the "American Idol" runner-up said she would much rather fall in love.

"I"m a one-man kind of gal and a kind of true romantic at heart," she said.

Watch Hope Solo react to U.S. soccer suspension, termination


Hope Solo Go Crazy After She Found Out That She Had Been Suspended by U.S. Soccer

Hope Solo cried, hugged her husband and then lashed out when she received the news: U.S. soccer terminated her contract and issued a six-month suspension after she called Sweden "a bunch of cowards" following theUnited States" Olympics elimination.

"Six months, suspension, no pay. Terminated contract, effective immediately," Solo says in a newly-released video trailer from Fullscreen, a media company making a docu-series called "Keeping Score" that follows the U.S. national team goalkeeper and teammates Megan Rapinoe and Crystal Dunn.

"Terminated contract, not just a suspension," an emotional Solo continues.

When her husband, former NFL player Jerramy Stevens, asks, "How can they do both?" she replies, "It"s both. Seventeen f---- years and it"s over!"

Solo will miss only international friendlies in the next six months, but by then a new keeper may have solidified the No. 1 spot since Solo will be 38 years old when the next World Cup rolls around in 2019. Orlando Pride keeper Ashlyn Harris and Alyssa Naeher of the Chicago Red Stars are the two likely candidates battling for the starting job. Naeher was Solo"s backup in the Olympics and Harris was the U.S. reserve.

Solo"s comments after the U.S." quarterfinal elimination did not sit well with teammates, either. Rapinoe openly spoke out against Solo"s reaction, and Pride forwardAlex Morgan also made a statementlast week to the Orlando Sentinel, saying: "The players dont control any of the consequences that happen, that are enforced by U.S. Soccer. So, its a bummer that happened to one of my teammates, but at the same timeI dont agree with the things that she said in the Olympics.

Pride coach Tom Sermanni was head coach of the U.S. women"s national team from 2013-14, so he is familiar with the level of competition and with Solo.

"I thought it was probably a little bit clumsy, is what I"ll call it," Sermanni said. "I think it"s getting players in the heat of the moment, right after the game, where you"ve just lost a critical game. So, players are emotional at that time and they"re liable to come out and say something a little bit untoward.

"And then there are certain players who are a bit more outspoken than others, and obviously Hope"s one of those. So, when you put all of that together, you"re likely to get an explosive remark and that"s what"s happened."

U.S. Soccer, the sport"s governing body,released a statement Aug. 24 announcing Solo"s suspenion and making clear thepunishment was due to an accumulation of actions over the past few years and not solely her remarks after the Olympics.

Earlier this week, Solo"s National Women"s Soccer League team, the Seattle Reign, announced Solo has taken an indefinite leave.

Carol Kane says Gene Wilder gave her a "second chance" to act


Remembering Gene Wilder

At age 23, Carol Kane was fresh off a Best Actress Oscar nomination with no prospects on the horizon.

The phone hadnt rung for a year, she said. Then Gene Wilder called.

Out of the blue I got a call from Gene saying that hed like to meet me about The Worlds Greatest Lover," Kane said Monday. (It) was a comedy, which Id never done before. I have no idea why he thought I could do it, but he was a purist, he was kind of a poet and I met him and he asked me to do this movie with him.

Wilder, who died Sunday at 83, wrote, directed and starred in The Worlds Greatest Lover, about a baker (Wilder) and his wife (Kane) who move to Hollywood during the silent film era to enter a talent search for someone who might compete with Rudolph Valentino.

Remembering the genius that is Gene Wilder

Kane, 64, was only 25 by the time it wrapped, but getting that call from Wilder still felt to her like a second chance, she said.

She remembers Wilder being compassionate and inspirational as a director but serious and sensitive, too.

(He was) clearly one the great clowns the Chaplin of talkies in some ways, she said.

The Worlds Greatest Lover was not particularly well-received when it came out in 1977. Kane thinks it might not have gotten the right publicity.

It was a little under the radar unfortunately, she said. But I think that it holds up beautifully and that its lovely and funny and worth a second look.

Kane would stay in touch with Wilder on and off over the years, and she loved seeing the friendship of Wilder, Mel Brooks and Dom DeLuise (who also starred in The Worlds Greatest Lover as the studio mogul).

Wilder and Kane reunited in 2001 to perform in three classic one-act farces at the Westport Country Playhouse, but shell always remember the great significance of that phone call more than 40 years ago.

He was a gentle man and a gentleman a true, true artist, Kane said. We never saw anyone like him before or after.

Comcast wins FCC ruling over Liberman"s discrimination complaint


Everything Wrong With Comcast

The FCC has decided in favor of Comcast in a programming dispute with Spanish-language broadcaster Liberman Broadcasting.

The agency ruled, essentially, that Liberman is not a video programming vendor seeking a carriage deal for its Estrella TV. The company is actually a broadcaster, the FCC said, whose signal is carried on broadcast retransmission licensing.

Liberman filed its complaint with the FCC after Comcast pulled Estrella from its program guide in Houston, Denver and Salt Lake City in February. In its discrimination complaint, Liberman accused Comcast of favoring its Spanish-language NBCUniversal assets, Telemundo and NBC Universo.

"While it could be argued that Liberman is engaged in the "production, creation, or wholesale distribution of video programming for sale" to the extent it seeks compensation from Comcast for carriage of its television broadcast stations, it is in fact negotiating compensation for the retransmission of its television broadcast "signal" rather than carriage of the "video programming" contained within that signal," the FCC said in its order.

Liberman said its considering an appeal.

We are disappointed by todays decision from the FCCs Media Bureau, which dismissed LBIs complaint on a narrow technicality relating to standing," Liberman said in a statement.

"Obviously, we disagree with the Media Bureaus interpretation of the relevant statutes. But more importantly, this technical decision in no way absolves Comcast of the underlying wrongdoing of discrimination against Estrella TV as an independent programmer."

In its own statement, Comcast said, "Liberman Broadcastings carriage complaint had no basis in law and was simply an attempt to extract carriage of Estrella TV and fees from Comcast that are in no way justified."

Jewish actor Gene Wilder dead at 83


Gene Wilder, star of "Willy Wonka," dead at 83

LOS ANGELES - Actor Gene Wilder, who was born to a Jewish family and was best known for his role in the fantasy film "w***y Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" and comedic star turns in such Mel Brooks farces as "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein," died on Monday at age 83, his family said in a statement.

Wilder, whose best work came in collaborations with director-writer Mel Brooks and actor Richard Pryor, died at his home in Stamford, Connecticut, from complications of Alzheimer"s disease, the family said in a statement.

Wilder"s nephew, Jordan Walker-Pearlman, said the actor had chosen to keep his Alzheimer"s secret so that children who knew him as w***y Wonka would not equate the whimsical character with an adult disease.

Wilder"s barely contained hysteria made him a go-to lead for director-writer Mel Brooks, who cast him in "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein" and "The Producers" in the 1960s, "70s and "80s.

Besides his classic collaborations with Brooks, Wilder paired memorably with comedian Richard Pryor in hits "Silver Streak" and "Stir Crazy."

Wilder also was active in promoting ovarian cancer awareness and treatment after his wife, "Saturday Night Live" comedienne Gilda Radner, whom he married in 1984, died of the disease in 1989.

He helped found the Gilda Radner Ovarian Cancer Detection Center in Los Angeles and co-founded Gilda"s Club, a support group that has branches throughout the country.

Pretty Little Liars: Who Is Charlotte"s Missing Sibling?


Pretty Little Liars 7x10 Sneak Peek #1 Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 10 [HD]

By TV GuidePosted Aug. 30, 2016 @ 12:05 am

There are a lot of burning questions that need to be answered on Pretty Little Liars, but the most pressing mystery heading into the Season 7 summer finale is: Who is Mary Drake"s (Andrea Parker) missing child?There have been several clues dropped in the first half of Season 7 about who the missing Drake child could be. We know that Mary"s second child is younger than her oldest, Charlotte (Vanessa Ray), and was adopted after Mary gave birth in Radley Sanitarium -- making him or her about the Liars" age. Noel Kahn"s (Brant Daughtery) father is also the judge that approved the adoption.We"ve compiled the evidence and put together our best guesses as to who "the missing Drake" could be.Pretty Little Liars will end with Season 74. Noel Kahn Why it could be: Noel Kahn has been the main suspect as the missing Drake since he arrived back in Rosewood. His allegiance with Jenna (Tammin Sursok) and the video evidence that he helped Charlotte with the doll house doesn"t help things either. It would also be convenient since his father is the one that approved the adoption. Since we know he"ll be tormenting the girls once again in the summer finale, could it all be to confirm that he"s Mary"s missing son?Why he"s not it: Pretty Little Liars lives for the misdirect, and all signs pointing to Noel Kahn is the biggest indication that it"s not him. How lame would it be if the reveal was something we"ve basically already been told? 3. Jenna MarshallWhy it could be: Jenna will be helping Noel stalk the Liars, and she"s had it out for the girls since Day 1. It was revealed earlier in the season that she had mysteriously become friends with Charlotte while the former-A was in the hospital. In fact, Jenna is the one that helped Charlotte get with Archer Dunhill (Huw Collins). Why would she strike up a relationship with Charlotte unless she had found out they had a familial connection?Why she"s not it: The first tell is that Jenna has no physical resemblance to the Drakes or the DiLaurentis family. The black hair and green eyes would make her stick out like a sore thumb. She"s also too close to obvious to be a real shocker for the fans to find out. Does Jenna have a secret? Most definitely, but it"s just hard to believe that it"s this one.Pretty Little Liars: Troian Bellisario once got into a fight with a fan over who really plays Spencer Hastings2. Spencer HastingsWhy it could be: After the Liars found out that Mary Drake had a second baby while she was in Radley, Spencer (Troian Bellisario) decided to go flipping through her family photo album. At first, it just seemed like a stroll down memory lane, but as Spencer flipped through the pages, there were no obvious photos of Spencer as a baby. Let"s face it, this wouldn"t be the first time that the Hastings have kept a secret about their children.Plus, we already know that Spencer"s father had a child with Jessica DiLaurentis -- Mary"s twin sister. Maybe he hooked up with Mary, thinking it was Jessica, and then adopted the child since he"d already given up being Jason"s (Drew Van Acker) father.Why she"s not it: The logistics make sense, but would PLL go back to the same story well if the DiLaurentis/Drake and Hastings family already have a sordid history when it comes to biological children? This definitely feels like the type of thing Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) would have brought up or rubbed in Spencer"s face in the past.Pretty Little Liars: Aria and Jason"s secret revealed!1. Aria MontgomeryWhy it could be: A.D. took two files the night they burned Jessica DiLaurentis" secret basement hideout on fire -- Noel Kahn"s and Aria Montgomery"s (Lucy Hale). We have yet to find out why Aria would be of special importance to A.D. over the other girls. If that folder confirmed that Aria was really the daughter of Mary Darke, it"d make a lot of sense why A.D. would go to such extreme lengths to stop the girls from finding out.Why she"s not it: There"s really not a lot of argument for why Aria couldn"t be the missing Drake. It would be a huge reveal that no one saw coming -- and a heartbreaking twist heading into the second half of the season. Will she still feel like walking down the aisle with Ezra (Ian Harding) if she suddenly has doubts about who she really is? That"s a delicious conundrum, and why we think she"d be the best possible choice to be the missing Drake.Pretty Little Liars" summer finale airs Tuesday, Aug. 30 at 8/7c on Freeform.Other Links From TVGuide.com

Anthony Weiner"s Sexting Scandal Meets a Conflicted Media Landscape


Weiner (2016) | Official Trailer | Anthony Weiner SHOWTIME Documentary

Former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner is embroiled in yet another scandal over sexually-explicit tweets he sent to an unnamed woman while his wife, top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, was traveling with the Democratic presidential candidate.

The story has already provided plenty of fodder for tabloid newspapers and websites. But is it really relevant to the campaign, or is it just appealing to prurient interests in an attempt to drive online traffic?

The New York Post was the first to report the latest allegations, in a story that ran on Sunday. It quoted from months worth of tweets Weiner sent to a 40-something divorcee that were filled with sexual innuendo and photos of himself in his underwear, including one taken with his young son lying on the bed next to him.

Weiner has been a favorite of the tabloids ever since he was forced to resign from Congress in 2011, after sending a sexually-explicit photo to a woman on Twitter. Two years later, he ran for mayor of New York, and was again forced to quit his campaign, after reports that he had been sending n***d photos and sexually-suggestive messages to other women.

At the time, Abedin stood by her husband, but on Monday she said they were separating. Abedin has been a close Clinton aide for two decades. She worked as Clintons personal assistant during a run for president in 2008 and then as chief-of-staff while she was Secretary of State, and Clinton has said Abedin is like a second daughter.

Get Data Sheet, Fortunes technology newsletter.

Theres no question that Abedin plays a fairly critical role in the Clinton campaign. But does that mean her husbands behavior on Twitter are somehow relevant to coverage of the election?

Donald Trump tried to argue that Weiners sexting might be a potential threat to national security, since he might have overheard classified information from his wife that could be passed on to his sexting partners. But this seems like a stretch at best.

Some argue that reporting on Abedins marital troubles is justified because a number of media outlets recently reported on a past domestic-violence charge against Breitbart News head Steve Bannon, who is now a top advisor to the Trump campaign, and therefore Clinton and her staff are fair game.

Others have tried to make the case that if Abedin is struggling with her husbands infidelity, then it might make the Clinton campaign less effective. But that seems like more of an effort to justify being interested in a lurid sexting case than it does an actual political argument.

Unfortunately for anyone who wants to try and keep lurid or sensationalistic topics out of the campaign, however, Donald Trump has already done more than enough to lower that bar himself, without any help from Anthony Weiner or Hillary Clinton.

Alex Boone on ex-teammate Colin Kaepernick: "Show some respect"


Vikings vs. Bengals | Post Game Highlights | NFL

MINNEAPOLIS -- While a former teammate who caught passes from Colin Kaepernick defended the San Francisco 49ers quarterback"s decision not to stand for the national anthem, a former teammate who blocked for Kaepernick didn"t see it that way.

Minnesota Vikings guard Alex Boone, who played five seasons with Kaepernick in San Francisco before leaving in free agency last spring, called it "shameful" that Kaepernick did not stand for the national anthem on Aug. 26 against the Green Bay Packers, adding "we probably would have had a problem on the sideline" had the quarterback done it while Boone had still been his teammate.

Former 49ers receiver Anquan Boldin said Sunday that "you still have to respect" Kaepernick"s opinion "even if you don"t agree with what someone does." The quarterback told NFL Media on Friday that his decision was meant as a form of protest over the treatment of "black people and people of color" in the U.S.

  • Falcons" Ben Garland on Colin Kaepernick sitting during national anthem: "I don"t agree with it completely, but we fought for that freedom as well."

While Boone acknowledged that Kaepernick "can do whatever he wants," he added, "there"s a time and a place. Show some respect."

"You should have some f---ing respect for people who served, especially people that lost their life to protect our freedom," said Boone, whose brother J.J. served with the Marines in Iraq. "We"re out here playing a game, making millions of dollars. People are losing their life, and you don"t have the common courtesy to do that. That just drove me nuts.

"Anquan said it this morning [that Kaepernick had the right to do it], and I was kind of mad that he said it, because I was like, "G*d, if Anquan says it, I"ve got to go with it," because Anquan was such a leader, and he"s a smart guy. He gets it. But at the same time, I was upset with his choice to do that and kind of disrespect the flag."

Vikings guard Alex Boone, who played five seasons with Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco, said the two "probably would have had a problem on the sideline" had the quarterback sat the national anthem while Boone was a member of the 49ers.Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Niners coach Chip Kelly said Kaepernick also didn"t stand for the anthem on Aug. 20 against the Denver Broncos, telling reporters, "We recognize his right to do that. So, it"s not my right to tell him not to do something. That"s his right as a citizen.

"We recognize his right as an individual to choose to participate or not participate in the national anthem."

Boone, though, said the gesture was disrespectful to the American flag and those who serve in the military.

"You see all these pictures of these veterans that have no legs, and they"re standing up in a wheelchair," Boone said. "I had a brother that served, and he lost friends. I know how much it means to him. It"s shameful."

"We"re out here playing a game, making millions of dollars. People are losing their life, and you don"t have the common courtesy to do that. That just drove me nuts."

New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz said after his team"s exhibition victory against the New York Jets on Saturday night that the American flag deserves respect -- no matter the circumstances in the U.S. or beyond.

"The flag is the flag," Cruz said. "Regardless of how you feel about things that are going on in America today, and the things that are going on across the world with gun violence and things of that nature, you"ve got to respect the flag, and you"ve got to stand up with your teammates. It"s bigger than just you, in my opinion. I think you go up there, you"re with a team, and you go and you know you pledge your allegiance to the flag and sing the national anthem with your team, and then you go about your business, whatever your beliefs are.

"Colin is his own man. He decided to sit down and that is his prerogative, but on a personal standpoint, I think you have to stand up there with your team and understand and it"s this game and what"s going on around this country is bigger than just you."

Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan said Sunday he believes players and coaches should stand for the anthem to show respect and give thanks to members of the armed forces.

"You"ve got to look at the gifts that we have, the opportunity that we have to play a great game is through the men and women that serve our country," Ryan said before practice on Sunday. "And I think that"s an opportunity right there just to show respect."

You really, really do NOT want to know why McChicken is trending


Mcchicken video link in description
By: Express Web Desk | New Delhi | Published:August 29, 2016 9:00 pm Food p**n, literally!

Many of us go online and spend hours staring, dreaming and l*****g after those fantastic images of perfectly plated food, creamy chocolate oozing out of soft doughnuts and that beautifully glistening piece of meat thats just waiting for someone to tuck in; alas, you sitting on the computer or any other mobile device wont be the one doing any tucking.

So, when you get up in the morning to find that McChicken is one of the trends on Twitter, no one and we mean no one can find fault with you instantly clicking on the hashtag to find out whats new with one of the worlds most popular burgers. You might even be thinking youd go out, or order in, a McChicken yourself, crispy chicken, a slice of cheese, fresh lettuce and mayo, all packed in nicely in a soft sesame sprinkled bun as you go through the motions of clicking on the word, waiting on your rather slow Internet (because it does take a while) to bring up the search page.

AND then, this!

Youre first puzzled, then horror of horrors shocked, and then you need to decide between feeling disgusted or sick or both as you comprehend the reason for the trend. For, once known, it cannot be not-known. And once seen, it cannot be unseen!

Well, as it turns out, if youve still managed to be blissfully unaware of the existence and the raison detre of the said hashtag, lets just break it to you a video of a man having s*x with a McChicken sandwich was posted online, and it has quite predictably gone viral. Not so much as because people wanted to see it, but more because people couldnt believe it was possible and they wanted that rumours negated.

Bizarre fact. Its true. And if you love your McChicken, do not be going about googling the video, because as weve said once seen, it cannot be unseen! After all, who would do such a thing?!

And thats exactly what Twitterati cant stop asking. Followed with a whole line-up of McChicken reactions and jokes. Before we unleash your curiosity onto Twitterverse, sample these, starting with the most popular tweet by actor Seth Rogen:

But then, for some love is love!

Well now leave you to make your own jokes in the comments section below!

Why Emptyhero is Banned from UniVision

Univision News has named Patsy Loris executive vice president of news and executive news director, putting the network veteran in charge of all of Univisions network news programs, including Noticiero Univision, Primer Impacto, Aqu y Ahora and Al Punto.

"In Trump We Trust" Bestselling Author Ann Coulter Betrayed By The Donald"s Hefty Immigration Flip-Flops


Ann Coulter Featured At Rob Lowe Roast

In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!, an obviously pro-Donald Trump book, happened to have been untimely released. The Republican nominee himself messed it up, in effect, betraying its bestselling author, Ann Coulter, with his sudden change of mind on immigration policies.

Whether Coulters latest book will join her list of 12 New York Times bestsellers, no one can tell, at least this early. One thing is sure, though. The author of In Trump We Trust, upon hearing Donalds recent massive flip-flops on immigration issues, fumed, resorting to some tweet storming business to discredit her main man in the book.

Only part he left out was the "hoops" they"ll have to jump through! Trump:"No citizenship. Let me go a step furtherthey"ll pay back-taxes"

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 25, 2016

Trump: "they have to pay taxes, there"s no amnesty" [Pro Tip: "Back taxes" means we pay illegals $30k apiece in EITC.}

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 25, 2016

It"s not "amnesty." It"s "comprehensive immigration reform"!!!! Trump: "they have to pay taxes, there"s no amnesty."

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 25, 2016

Well, if it"s "hard," then nevermind. Trump: " to take a person who"s been here for 15 or 20 years .It"s a very, very hard thing."

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 25, 2016

For some unknown reason, the author of In Trump We Trust later retracted.

COULTER SCORCHES MEDIA: I"M NOT "ABANDONING" TRUMP https://t.co/nppE6C73zb

Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 25, 2016

Coulters message in her 182-page hagiography, as Dan Roberts of the Guardian aptly called it, is loud and clear.

Theres nothing Trump can do that wont be forgiven. Except change his immigration policies.

That could have given the Republican presidential wanna-be a further veneer of respectability, said Roberts, had he not squandered it.

As the Guardians Washington bureau chief had it, Unfortunately, at the very moment of the book-signing, that was exactly what Trump was doing.

In this Aug. 22, 2016, file photo, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump meets with active and retired law enforcement in Akron, Ohio. Just days ago Trump reshuffled his campaign staff just as he tries to recalibrate his message for the general election, in which his tough stance on immigration may be more of a liability than it was in the Republican primary. [Photo by Gerald Herbert/AP Images]In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump proved to have softened his previously tough anti-immigration policies to win the moderates, through which emerged a rather different figure than the one Coulter portrayed in her In Trump We Trust.

Responding to Hannitys query on the fate of approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, Trump said that, should he become Americas next president, while these people will get no citizenship, they will be required to pay taxes in exchange for legal status, provided we get the bad ones out.

Acknowledging that everybody in the audience agrees with the idea, the Republican presidential hopeful went on to say that when I go through and meet thousands and thousands of people on this subject, and theyve said, Mr Trump, I love you, but to take a person whos been here for 15 or 20 years and throw them and their family out, its so tough, Mr Trump. I have it all the time! Its a very, very hard thing.

Exchanges of comments continued on in the show until Trump made his point even clearer.

Those people that have been working so hard to come into the country and going through the process, the conservative GOP nominee said, were going to take them in, and were going to cherish them, and theyre going to love us. We want the ones that want to love us, not the ones that want to create problems.

[Photo by Gerald Herbert/AP Images]These must have run contrary to Coulters In Trump We Trust, which, according to the Atlantics Peter Beinart, devotes six chapters to the subject of immigrants and rape, echoing its main characters original strong anti-immigration leanings.

But unlike many Trump defenders, Beinart pointed out, Coulter makes clear that her primary allegiance is not to Trump the man.

Its to the nostalgic Make America White Again brand of conservatism that she began peddling even before he did, Beinart said. In In Trump We Trust, Coulter calls Trump a tasteless, publicity-seeking, coarse billionaire and argues that, the one thing voters werent wild about was his personality."

If Trump were to succeed in his bid for the presidency, according to Beinart, alluding to what Coulter has to say in the book, it would be because his campaign has been ideological, which falls into line with American white supremacists protests against the federal governments immigration policies.

Considering Trumps recent change of mind on immigration issues, however, it is very likely that he will lose the support of this segment of American electors.

Only last Saturday in Iowa, the Republican nominee was heard again with yet another flip-flop on the issue, promising crackdown on immigrants, Clay Masters of the NPR reported, including removing the hundreds and thousands of criminal illegal immigrants that have been released into the United States and United States communities under the incompetent Obama/Clinton administration.

Juggernaut Index, No. 12: The Houston Texans


Every Brock Osweiler Throw from Week 2 | 2016 NFL Preseason Highlights
Houston is the rare division champ that neededto make massive changes. Fantasy-wise, things are looking up. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

The Juggernaut Index is our annual ranking and review of NFL teams for fantasy purposes repeat: FANTASY PURPOSES. Here we concern ourselves with a franchises likely contributions to the fantasy player pool. We are not concerned with projected wins and losses. Instead, were focused on yards and points. As always, were beginning with the leagues least useful teams, working our way toward the elite fantasy juggernauts.

[Join a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for free and make 2016 your season!]

As a general rule, year-to-year continuity is a big deal in the NFL. Its not reasonable to expect a team to execute flawlessly in September if it underwent a massive overhaul in March. Without overstating pro footballs complexity, hopefully we can all agree that repetition, rapport and scheme familiarity are not small things. Building a great real-life team is somewhat more complicated than assembling a great fantasy roster.

Which brings us to the 2016 Houston Texans. This teams first-string offense in opening week will feature a new quarterback, new running back, two new offensive linemen and at least one new receiver. Thats a whole lotta new. Its possible that Bill OBriens squad will be an unstoppable machine from the seasons first snap, but we shouldnt panic if it isnt.

If theres one thing we can say with certainty about the Texans offense, its that change was needed. Last year, Houston led the NFL in pace while ranking at the bottom of the league in yards per play (4.9). It was a hurry-up-and-punt system, basically. (Shane Lechler would have been a monster in PPP leagues, if such a format existed. He punted 95 times, the second-highest total in the league.) The Texans completed only 57.8 percent of their pass attempts in 2015, and the teams running game averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. Horrendous rates, obviously.

This year, Brock Osweiler takes over at quarterback after signing a mega-deal with Houston in free agency (four years, $72 million). He appeared in eight games for the Broncos last season, his play was uneven, and he posted a passer-rating of 86.4. Its not at all clear that Osweiler is the sort of QB who can guide a team deep into the postseason. But hey, hes also not Brian Hoyer, so thats exciting. Osweiler has uncommon size (6-foot-7) and plenty of arm strength, but his accuracy isnt special and his processing speed may not be the greatest. Still, he directed a few big wins for Denver last year notably against New England and Cincinnati and h**l have plenty of firepower at his disposal in Houston. It wouldnt be a shock if he emerged as a stream-worthy QB for fantasy purposes, but he doesnt belong in the draft discussion for leagues of typical size. Ive snagged Osweiler as a late flier in super-flex formats simply because he gets to throw to this guy

DeAndre Hopkins cannot be covered. Nope. (Photo by Ronald C. Modra/Sports Imagery/Getty Images)

DeAndre Hopkins has seen a parade of poor quarterbacks since entering the league Schaub, Keenum, Yates, Mallet, Weeden, Hoyer so I refuse to believe he cant thrive with Osweiler. Hes coming off a season in which he caught 111 b***s for 1521 yards and 11 scores, drawing a ridiculous 192 targets. Nuk gave us 11 games with at least 80 receiving yards last year, and only once was he held to fewer than five catches. He has freakish hands and perhaps the best body control in the league. Hes fantastic, is what Im saying a no-doubt No. 1 receiver. Draft him in the first round with confidence.

Beyond Hopkins, however, Houstons receiving corps is loaded with question marks. First-round rookie Will Fuller is a burner with 4.32 speed, and it appears h**l start opposite Hopkins. Theres no questioning his vertical ability, but his hands are a legit concern. Fullers collegiate career was filled with big plays and ugly drops, and its worth noting that he was owned (and later trashed) by Clemson corner Mackensie Alexander. Its not as if Fuller is going to run every route in the playbook, but h**l serve as an immediate home-run threat. Id prefer to own him in a best-ball format than in a league with standard settings, but its clear he deserves attention in deeper player pools.

Braxton Miller, another rookie, appears to be ticketed for slot duties. Hes caught seven b***s for 68 yards in exhibition play thus far, running with the starters. Miller only spent one season at receiver at Ohio State, but hes apparently a quick study. Like Fuller, he should have a place on your cheat sheet in deep-ish leagues. Millers preseason highlights are high quality, and you might recall that he specialized in the spin-move-of-death at OSU.

At the moment, Jaelen Strong and Cecil Shorts are simply names on the depth chart, players with little chance to be featured. No need to draft either receiver. The Texans havent given us a useful fantasy tight end since the prime years of Owen Daniels, but the team may have found something in UDFA Stephen Anderson. At 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, hes either an undersized TE or a slightly over-sized WR. Either way, they seem to like him in Houston. Theres no pressing need to draft him, of course, but file away the name.

The Texans ranked fifth in the NFL in total rush attempts last season (472) and No. 29 in yards per carry (3.7), which is well, thats misery. As a fan, theres almost nothing worse than a bad running team with a deep commitment to the run. But new acquisition Lamar Miller is taking over the featured role in Houstons backfield, chasing Alfred Blue to the sideline. Miller is simply an enormous upgrade for this team. He managed to finish as a top-10 fantasy back in each of the past two seasons, despite receiving a curiously modest workload (only 241 touches in 2015). All signs point to Miller feasting in the year ahead; his touches should increase by 70 or more, assuming good health. Its easy to see a path to a top-three positional finish for Miller, and he shouldnt fall outside the top 15 picks in a typical draft.

I havent yet reached a Brad Evans level of enthusiasm with Miller check the ranks for details but I do understand the infatuation. Brads stance on Miller does not crack the list of his 100 most insane fantasy opinions.

Houstons defense is led by one of the NFLs most relentless corporate pitchmen pass-rushers, J.J. Watt, a hurricane of a human being. Watt is recovering from surgery to repair a herniated disk, placing his September availability in doubt. He played through hand, groin, disk and abdominal injuries last season and still managed to produce 17.5 sacks and 76 tackles, so Im not going to give a pessimistic spin on his outlook for 2016. Hes not a normal dude. The Texans D has talent at all levels and the teams division schedule is loaded with turnovers, so this is a group to target in our game. They open against Jay Cutler & Co., so well rank em as a recommended play in Week 1, regardless of Watts status.

Dhoni wants better Powerplay bowling


Shenwari - Six, six, six, out! Cricket news, statistics ESPN Cricinfo

Happy with how we bowled in last eight overs - Dhoni

MS Dhoni, the India captain, has called for improvement while bowling in the first six overs and has asked his bowlers to assess conditions quickly, to determine what a competitive spell is ahead of the second T20 international against West Indies in Florida on Sunday.

India had conceded the third highest T20I total - 245 - in the first game on Saturday morning but then chased superbly, only to fall short by one run. West Indies had built their score on a rollicking opening stand between Johnson Charles and Evin Lewis - 126 in 9.3 overs.

"I felt the way the boys performed overall was very good," Dhoni said after the game. "If we can improve how we bowl in the first six overs - in fact it was the first 12 overs where we gave away too many runs."

Dhoni said there needed to be quicker recognition from the bowlers to adjust their game plans when it became clear that the pristine batting pitch was suiting the West Indies" hyper-aggressive approach spearheaded by Charles, who struck 79 off 33 b***s.

"Immediately, as a bowler, what you have to do is you have to assess the conditions and change your game plan to some extent," Dhoni said. "Normally you think on a good wicket if I"m bowling four overs, if I even get hit for 40 runs and get one or two wickets, it"s good enough. So you have to quickly assess what is a good bowling analysis on this wicket. Maybe the way everybody got hit, it seemed like a four-over 50 [runs], and if you get a couple of wickets or more you are in the plus."

The bulk of India"s chasing was done by KL Rahul, who scored 110 off 51 b***s, his maiden T20I hundred in only his fourth game. He said he hoped to "go from strength to strength".

"It is very disappointing to be on the losing side but what"s good to see is that we did not give up half way through," Rahul told the BCCI website. "The West Indies had put up a big total for us to chase and what we spoke in the dressing room was to try to take the game as long as we could and the way everyone came and approached this innings was very good to see Happy with the approach, but disappointed with the result."

Rahul and Dhoni put on 107 in 8.1 overs for the fourth wicket, the partnership ending off the final ball of the game, which Dhoni edged to short third man when India needed two to win. Rahul said the game could have "gone anywhere".

"As soon as he [Dhoni] came in, I knew that he would make me run a lot," Rahul said. "I was already tired by the time he came, but he kept on pushing me and like I said we just kept things simple out there in the middle. We required 13 runs an over. He said that even if we get 11-12 runs till the sixteenth over, it was ok and we could go big in the last couple of overs. We were favouring one end and hit sixes on that side and we knew that they did not have overs left from their main bowlers in the death. That was the plan and we just kept hitting well, kept connecting. We got 11-12 runs easily in an over. Just unfortunate it was one of those days when the game could"ve gone anywhere."

India are currently second on the ICC"s T20I rankings, with West Indies third. They will swap positions if West Indies win on Sunday and take the series 2-0. Their new T20 captain Carlos Brathwaite said Saturday"s win and the manner in which it was achieved reaffirmed that the reigning World T20 champions were the top T20 side in world cricket.

"We became world champions and now we"re here to defend that and show that we are number one in the world and show why we are," Brathwaite said. "The rankings say that we"re number three and the plan is for us to go out tomorrow, give another big effort for the last, go 2-0 up, win the series and move to number two in the rankings."
