Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been forced to apologize for a social media post that showed him posing with a dog while wearing a Michael Vick jersey. Vick was convicted in 2007 and served 19 months in jail for killing up to eight dogs through drowning or hanging as part of his fighting ring run through his Bad Newz Kennels. Speaking at a press conference, Murray said, “In no way, shape, or form do I condone animal cruelty or dog fighting,” adding, “I saw how it affected people and decided to take it down. I apologize to anybody and whoever I affected with that.” He added that he owns two dogs himself, Trunks and Swoosh, whom he says are treated “like kings.” The Washington Post reported that Murray has spoken in the past about admiring the game of fellow quarterback Vick, who resumed his NFL playing career in 2009 after his release from prison. Now a coach at Norfolk State Spartans, Vick rebranded as an animal rights activist following his release.
A cruise passenger has died after falling down a mountainside, having lost the trail on a hike in Juneau, Alaska. Anchorage Daily News reports that 36-year-old Britain Pool died from injuries sustained in the fall, while a second man suffered minor injuries but did not fall as far. Alaska State Troopers were able to locate the body of the Texas man using a drone. KTUU reported his remains have been taken to the state medical examiner’s office, and his next of kin has been notified. Troopers received a 911 call from a man who said they’d followed a path that had turned out not to be the trail. The incident occurred near an aerial tramway that takes cruise passengers 1,800 feet up from their ships to the Mount Roberts Trail above the Alaskan capital. Spokesperson Tess Williams said it was dark, with dense fog and rain at the time of the incident.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr used a goofy meme from The Office to celebrate pausing Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show. Carr had threatened to remove ABC’s broadcasting license in an interview with MAGA YouTuber Benny Johnson on Wednesday over comments Kimmel made after the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Carr claimed Kimmel leaned into a “narrative” that the suspect in the killing was a “MAGA or Republican motivated person.” Later on Wednesday, as ABC confirmed it was pausing Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CNN media analyst Brian Stelter took to X to share a new comment from Carr after ABC’s decision; a meme from NBC comedy The Office. In the meme, teve Carell as Michael and Rainn Wilson as Dwight are making “raise the roof” party gestures by lifting their hands to the ceiling. Johnson commented under Stelter’s post, adding, “This is me and Brendan Carr right now.” Carr followed the news by thanking Nexstar, which operates ABC-affiliated stations, for agreeing to pull Kimmel. “Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest,” Carr said. “While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values.” He added, “I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar’s lead.”
Dolly Parton, 79, has sparked concern for her health after canceling a trip to her amusement park, Dollywood. On Tuesday, Parton announced to fans that she would be missing her trip to the family friendly entertainment park due to a scheduling issue. She then appeared in a pre-recorded video message on Wednesday, where she shared she is recovering from kidney stones but promised she was there in spirit. The star explained to fans, “I had a little problem. I had a kidney stone,” before stating, “Turns out there was an infection.” Kidney stones have been a persistent issue for Parton. In 2015, she revealed that she had three kidney stones removed. Parton was set to announce the park’s latest $50 million attraction “Night Flight Expedition,” in Pigeon Forge. The ride may end up being the most expensive project in Dollywood history, the park said.

An audience member who was set to attend the Wednesday taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! revealed that news of the show being pulled from the air broke as audience members were waiting in line. In an interview with the Associated Press, the audience member said, “We were just about to walk in. They waited to pull the plug on this right as a studio audience was about to walk in.” He continued, “They didn’t tell us what had happened; they just said that the show was canceled. Initially, my concern was, ‘I hope everyone’s okay, no one got injured,’ you know… As they told us the show was being canceled, at the same time online, they announced that it was indefinitely, which we can probably assume is forever, taken off the air because of certain comments that were made, which I was not aware of. And then I went to go look to see what those comments were and they didn’t really seem to justify, you know, the means, you know, it seemed to be a bit extreme.”
Texas State University has expelled a student after he was filmed mockingly reenacting Charlie Kirk’s death at a vigil held for the late conservative influencer Monday afternoon. In the clip, the male student walks onto a campus statue’s pedestal, slaps his neck and collapses. The person taking the video says, “You’re gonna get expelled, dude.” On Tuesday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbot publicly demanded on X that the student be expelled for acting out the death of the right-wing podcaster, who was fatally shot in the neck while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. “Mocking assassinations must have consequences,” he wrote. Within six hours, Texas State President Dr. Kelly Damphousse posted a statement to X saying the individual was expelled. “I will not promote behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses,” said Damphousse. In June of 2019, Abbott signed a law “protecting free speech on college campuses.” In June of 2025, Abbott signed a law limiting the rights of students to protest on college campuses.
Kris Jenner’s noticeably lifted look is turning heads once more, with the 69-year-old media mogul presenting her freshly taut skin in a new MAC Cosmetics campaign. Jenner’s rejuvenated appearance has sparked conversation (and debate) since May, and in September, she revealed to Vogue Arabia that she recently underwent a facelift performed by surgeon Steven M. Levine. The Kardashians star is no stranger to surgery, and described this procedure as a simple “refresh” of the facelift she received 15 years earlier. The campaign plays on Jenner’s momager persona, showing the famous matriarch on a treadmill, preparing a martini in heels. Although the ad features multiple models, Jenner steals the show as she lies in a human-sized MAC compact and declares, “I’m Kris Jenner and I wear MAC Studio Fix.” Her famous daughters even approved the campaign. In an interview with Elle, Jenner explained. “When new opportunities come up, I usually run the idea by the girls first to get their thoughts, and then take it from there.” Jenner added that she has been a “huge fan” of the brand and has used its products for years. Now, if only a foundation could work the same magic as a facelift.
NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith is gearing up to dive headfirst into political commentating with a new $36 million, three-year contract with SiriusXM, according to The Athletic. Smith, 57, is set to debut a two-hour political talk show, Straight Shooter with Stephen A., Wednesday night on SiriusXM. It will be on the platform’s bipartisan channel called “POTUS Politics.” Smith already signed a five-year ESPN deal earlier this year worth $105 million, which allowed him to make fewer appearances on the network. Now the sports commentator is going to make roughly $40 million per year across both contracts, in addition to his YouTube and podcast revenue. Smith’s foray into politics doesn’t come as a surprise as he’s often touched on political topics during his sports broadcasts and outside interviews. Last week, he provided his opinion on the assassination of Charlie Kirk in an interview on Newsmax, lambasting House members for a lack of “decorum” during a moment of silence for Kirk’s death. Smith has even hinted at a presidential run, saying in January, following Trump’s 2024 win, that “the Democratic Party looks so pathetic after this election, I might entertain running.” The president also gave him the thumbs up, saying in April that he’d “love to see [Smith] run.” But fans of his sports commentary, which primarily focuses on the NBA, can still catch him on his daily ESPN show First Take.

With fall on the horizon, it’s time to get back into jackets. There’s truly nothing like a good jacket worn on a crisp autumn day, but finding the right one is actually harder than it seems. I’ve never been much of a jacket kind of guy, but then I came across a really special jacket from Huckberry, and now I understand why it’s a bestseller. Flint & Tinder’s Waxed Trucker Jacket is the best jacket in my closet—and frankly, the best thing I own at this point. This lightweight yet rugged jacket has only gotten better and better the more I’ve worn it, and I’ve owned it for a few years now. The waxed canvas feels soft and supple to the touch, and when I throw it on, it isn’t restricting at all.

What’s cool is with every movement, I can feel myself making a mark on the jacket—whether I’m leaning over to tie my shoes or hopping on my bike—I can feel the jacket getting more and more comfortable and broken in. The exterior is made with a weather-resistant waxed Martexin sailcloth; the interior is fully lined with a blanket-worthy lining, so you get the best of both worlds. It’s extremely stylish and goes with anything I wear it over, like sweaters, tees, and even button-downs. Right now, it comes in several different colors, but personally, I’m partial to the Havana brown. Slowly, this isn’t just becoming the best jacket in my closet, but it’s the only one I ever want to wear—that’s how good it is.
A dismembered body found in a Tesla belonging to R&B singer D4vd has been identified as a 15-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas, according to TMZ. Rivas’ body was discovered in a tow yard in Los Angeles on Sept. 8, after police were called about a stench emanating from the vehicle. The “severely decomposed” corpse was then discovered inside a bag in the Tesla Model Y, with a report suggesting the victim was “inside the vehicle for an extended period of time before being found.” The vehicle was later found to be registered to singer D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke. An earlier report said the victim was a female with wavy black hair and a distinctive tattoo on her right index finger. The tattoo, which read “Shhh…” was used by Rivas’ mother to identify the body as that of her missing daughter, who reportedly had a boyfriend named David and vanished in April 2024. Burke also has a tattoo on his finger with the letters “Shhh…” He is currently on a world tour and is not in the U.S., but is said to be “cooperating with authorities.” The vehicle has a Texas license plate and is registered to D4vd, and has not been reported stolen. The investigation continues.
