777 slots Even Luann de Lesseps makes mistakes—at least according to Hugh Grant . The Four Weddings and a Funeral actor reacted after the Real Housewives of New York City alum recently said the pair once shared a steamy makeout session at a restaurant in the Hamptons. “A girlfriend of mine called me and was like, ‘Hugh Grant is at Pierre's,’” Luann told TooFab in an interview published Nov. 22. “I had my family over, my brother was visiting me, and I said, ‘Let's go.’” The “Money Can’t Buy You Class” singer recalled how she quickly got to business flirting with the Bridget Jones’s Diary star, purposely bumping into him to initiate a conversation. “I go, ‘I'm so sorry,’” the 59-year-old continued, “‘Can I buy you a shot? I feel terrible.’ He goes, ‘Okay, but I'll come have a shot with you if you do one with me.’ Before you know it, we are taking shots and making out... heavily at the table! My brother was like, ‘I can't believe you're making out with Hugh Grant,’ and I was like, ‘Neither can I.’” As for Hugh’s recollection of the event? The 64-year-old shared a screenshot of the exchange on social media, a nd while he didn’t deny the encounter, he admitted his memory of the evening was a bit fuzzy. “I do remember meeting a charming RHNY in a restaurant,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Nov. 25, “but I’d like to stress it was about 15 years ago. I don’t recall shots or kissing but her memory might be better than mine.” The Paddington 2 actor isn’t the only Hollywood heartthrob Luann has come in contact with, as she also described once running into Gerard Butler —but by her recollection, she wasn’t quite as successful. “I got into an elevator with him,” Luann revealed. “I tried my best but he had a girlfriend who was there. You can only try!” For more surprising celebrity confessions, keep reading. Jason Kelce Doesn't Regularly Wash His Feet "What kind of weirdo washes their feet...." Jason Kelce tweeted in June 2024 after a fan noted the athlete "looks like he doesn't wash his legs or feet." The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments. "What kind of psychopath washes your feet?" he deadpanned on an episode of his and brother Travis Kelce 's New Heights podcast, adding, "If there's visible dirt on them, I'll scrub the dirt off." Grandma knows best. Kim Kardashian got candid about how her grandma Mary Jo "MJ" Campbell influenced one intimate moment between her and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson , during an October 2022 episode of The Kardashians . "Pete and I were staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel last weekend, and we were sitting in front of the fireplace, just talking for hours," the SKIMS founder recounted to MJ, mom Kris Jenner and sister Khloe Kardashian . "And I was like, 'My grandma told me that you really live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace. And so, we had sex in front of the fireplace in honor of you." Grandma's reaction? A nod of approval. "How creepy to think about your grandma before you have sex?" Kim said, to which MJ replied, "I know, but I was younger once." The love shared in Mila Kunis and husband Ashton Kutcher 's tight-knit family—which includes 8-year-old daughter Wyatt and 6-year-old son Dimitri —knows no boundaries. So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home. "That includes the bathroom," she told E! News in September 2022. "It's just one of those where, for better or for worse, as a family and the kids have all kind of embodied bodily function as a very standard norm." Mila said she arrived at the decision after her family kept knocking on the door and asking to come in, which prompted her to oblige: "I was like, ‘Oh, forget it. Just keep the door open.'" Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she'd flush that particular boundary away. She added, "I'd never thought that I would be the person that was able to go to the bathroom with the door open." Ghouls just want to have fun. As The View panelists were reviewing footage about a woman who alleged she had "sexual ghosts" in her home, Sara Haines asked the group an important question during an October 2022 episode : "If you have sex with a ghost, can you get pregnant?" Fortunately for her, co-host Joy Behar had an answer, adding, "I've had sex with a few ghosts and never got pregnant." "I'm just gonna let that ride," Whoopi Goldberg said in response. "I don't know how many of you just heard what Joy just said, but I'm going to let it ride." Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotab are a thick as thieves, though there is one thing Hoda didn't know about her Today co-host. When the pair were getting ready for an episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna , Hoda discovered Jenna perpetually goes commando. "We both had to change before the show and we were like, 'Oh we have to go back into the changing room,'" Hoda said during a November 2022 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna . "But then I noticed, Jenna never wears underwear." Jenna's rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her. "I think it makes a more pretty silhouette," she said. "I also think you don't have to pack as much. There are a lot of pros to it!" Looks like someone hasn't been keeping up. Britney Spears found herself embracing Keke Palmer 's viral saying "he could be walking down the street, I wouldn't know a thing," when she admitted she didn't know who Pete Davidson and Scott Disick were. Reposting a humorous March video of Pete—who was then dating Kim Kardashian —and Kourtney Kardashian 's ex Scott enjoying a "boyz night," to her Instagram, Britney said the two of them had her cracking up. "Sorry had to repost this," Britney wrote in the since-deleted post. "no idea who these people in the video are but it made me laugh so hard !!!!" Back before the world knew Chris Evans as Captain America and People 's Sexiest Man Alive of 2022 , Jana Kramer knew him as the "heartthrob, cutie" she went on a few dates with. It happened more than a decade ago, the singer revealed on her Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast in November, and though she can't remember "how many dates it was," she does recall their last encounter. Jana, then about 26 years old, said Chris invited her over to his house while he had friends in town from Boston. "The last interaction that I remember is him going into the bathroom after I just went with asparagus pee," Jana remembered, referencing the veggie's tendency to give urine a very distinct scent. "We didn't hook up that night. He stayed up late with his friends and then [in] the morning I did the asparagus walk of shame out of his house." She added, "I never heard from him again." Not all of these confessions are amusing. Eight years after sharing in an ELLE article that she had been battling a rare type of bone cancer—her fake diagnosis even inspiring a storyline on Grey's Anatomy — show writer Elisabeth Finch admitted in December it was all a ruse . "I told a lie when I was 34 years old and it was the biggest mistake of my life. It just got bigger and bigger and bigger and got buried deeper and deeper inside me," Elisabeth told The Ankler newsletter Dec. 7, adding, "I've never had any form of cancer." Summed up Finch, who was placed on administrative leave from the ABC medical drama before eventually resigning, said, "What I did was wrong. Not okay. F--ked up. All the words." Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it. Telling The New York Times the lengths she would go to for a more youthful appearance, the reality star cracked that she was willing to try just about anything. "If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger, I might," she said in June. "I just might." In a July 2022 interview with Allure , Kim said she was "kind of joking" about the comment, though the idea didn't seem too terrible . "But now that I think about it," Kim added, "I would probably eat s--t if someone told me, ‘If you eat this bowl of poop every single day, you'll look younger.'" How much could she make room for? "Maybe just a bite," she told the outlet. "I don't think I can do a whole bowl."

Trudeau returns home after talks with Trump yield no tariff assurancesThe drummer who formerly played for the band My Chemical Romance was found dead at 44 years of age. Law enforcement sources said Bob Bryar was found dead inside his home in Tennessee on Tuesday, TMZ reported on Friday. The last post on what appears to be his X account was issued on November 4, which was also the last day he was seen alive. “There is no foul play suspected, we’re told, because all of Bryar’s weapons and music equipment in the home were left untouched,” the TMZ article read. “Animal Control came to the house after the body — which we’re told was badly decomposed — was discovered and took two dogs away. The medical examiner is investigating the cause and manner of Bryar’s death,” it continued. An image shows Bryar with the band whom he played for from 2004 until 2014: After leaving the band, Bryar reportedly admitted experiencing suicidal thoughts. “While My Chemical Romance is scheduled to go on tour next year, Bob was not part of the group coming back to play. To date, he’s the longest-tenured drummer in band history,” the TMZ report said. In the mid 2000s, the band’s popularity rose because of its songs, including “Famous Last Words,” “Welcome to the Black Parade,” and “Teenagers,” 9 News reported on Saturday. “Bryar, who was born in Chicago, started playing drums at a young age and performed in his school’s marching and jazz bands. After graduation, he studied for a degree in sound engineering at the University of Florida,” the outlet said. Following his exit from the band, Bryar reportedly wrote on social media that leaving the band made him feel “depressed, angry, suicidal,” according to USA Today . “He had spent the last several years working with animal rescue efforts,” the article stated. It also noted that Bryar’s musical talents influenced the emo and alt-rock music scene. Social media users expressed their grief over the loss, one person calling it “heartbreaking” while someone else said , “An absolute LEGEND from one of my favorite bands. Your talent will forever be remembered.”

PTC Therapeutics Reports Inducement Grants Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4)Bernard Looney Appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors at Prometheus HyperscaleNone

New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Aaron Rodgers “absolutely” will remain the team's starting quarterback and start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Rodgers, who turns 41 next Monday, has been hampered at times during the Jets' 3-8 start by various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, sprained ankle and balky hamstring. Ulbrich said Monday the quarterback came back from the team's bye-week break ready to go. “All I can say, and you'd have to ask Aaron if he's fully healthy, but he's better off today than he's been as of late,” Ulbrich said. "So he's definitely feeling healthier than he has probably for the past month. A healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love. “So, I'm excited about what that looks like.” NFL Network reported on Sunday that Rodgers, who missed all but four snaps last season with a torn left Achilles tendon , has declined having medical scans on his injured leg so he can continue to play. “I have not been informed of that, either way,” Ulbrich said. Rodgers suffered what NFL Network reported was a “significant” hamstring injury against Denver in Week 4. He then sprained his left ankle against Minnesota in London a week later. The four-time MVP has not been able to consistently move around during games as he has in the past, when extending plays and making things happen on the run became such a big part of his game. Rodgers said leading into New York's 28-27 loss to Indianapolis last Sunday that it was the healthiest he felt in a while. But he struggled against the Colts, finishing 22 of 29 for 184 yards after a brutally slow start during which he went 9 of 13 for just 76 yards. The Athletic reported last week that owner Woody Johnson broached the idea during a meeting with the coaching staff of having the banged-up Rodgers sit after the Jets' loss to Denver in Week 4. With Rodgers' struggles and perhaps compromised health the past few games, a hot debate on social media and sports talk shows during the past week has been whether the quarterback should take a seat in favor of Tyrod Taylor. But when asked if there has been any talk of shutting down Rodgers, Ulbrich replied flatly: “There has not.” In a follow-up question, the interim coach was asked if Rodgers will, in fact, be the Jets' starting quarterback at home Sunday against the Seahawks. “Absolutely,” Ulbrich said. He added that he didn't feel the need to sit down with Rodgers and address all the reports and chatter outside the facility. “No, I feel like we are on the same page,” the coach said. Last week, Ulbrich said he and his staff would take “a deep dive” into what the team could do better after losing seven of its past eight and being on the verge of missing the postseason for the 14th consecutive year. Ulbrich opted not to make any changes to the coaching responsibilities of his staff and he will continue to run the defense as the coordinator. He also said there would not be any personnel changes coming out of the bye, barring injuries. “But definitely, we created a really clear vision of where we need to improve and found some things,” Ulbrich said. “Obviously, you find the things that you’re not doing well, you need to improve upon them, but then also found some some things that I think we can really build upon. So I was excited in both ways.” Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas last Tuesday, six weeks after he also dismissed coach Robert Saleh. On Monday, the team announced it would be assisted by The 33rd Team , a football media, analytics and consulting group founded by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, in its searches for a general manager and coach. Ulbrich insisted that isn't creating an awkward situation for him, in particular, as he and his staff focus on the present while the organization begins planning for the future. “In all honesty, it’s not at all,” Ulbrich said. “My singular focus is just finishing the season off the right way, playing a brand of football we’re all proud of, myself included. And that starts with Seattle.” LB C.J. Mosley said he's “progressing” in his return from a herniated disk in his neck, but is still uncertain about his availability for Sunday. Mosley said Monday was the first time he put on a helmet since the injury occurred during pregame warmups against New England on Oct. 27. ... Ulbrich said the team is still evaluating LT Tyron Smith, who missed the game against Indianapolis with a neck ailment. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Morgan's top biotech picks and analyst focus list (2:10). Will gold rally pause? (3:45) Transcript Wall Street's major market indices have kicked off the holiday-shortened trading week on a positive note as investors and traders process the latest developments surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's appointment of Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. As the day progresses, the financial community has seen a positive shift in the blue-chip Dow ( DJI ) as the index advanced 0.9%. At the same time, the benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) has climbed up 0.2%, and the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) pushed up 0.1%. From a sector-by-sector point of view, eight of the 11 S&P sectors find themselves moving higher with Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate leading the charge. In reverse, the worst performing sector on Wall Street so far has been the Energy sector. U.S. Treasury yields have taken a leg lower to start the week with the shorter end more rate sensitive U.S. 2-Year Treasury yield ( US2Y ) down by 10 basis points to 4.27% and the longer end U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) down 13 basis points to 4.26%.

On Friday, after the U.S. market closed, media reports said that, President-elect Donald Trump will nominate hedge fund manager Scott Bessent to head up the Treasury Department under his new administration. "Markets reacted positively to Trump nominating the financier Bessent as treasury secretary. Investors prefer orthodoxy, predictability, and coherence from economic policy; there were fears that some of the candidates may not possess those attributes. Bessent does," UBS' Paul Donovan said.

A judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women's volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. The ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to compete in the Mountain West Conference women's championship opening this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by nine current players against the Mountain West Conference challenging the league's policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans woman volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player's name because she has not commented publicly on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Crews' ruling referred to the athlete as an "alleged transgender" player and noted that no defendant disputed that the San Jose State roster includes a transgender woman player. San Jose State will "continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms," the university said in a statement, confirming that all its student-athletes are eligible to participate under NCAA and conference rules. "We are gratified that the Court rejected an eleventh-hour attempt to change those rules. Our team looks forward to competing in the Mountain West volleyball tournament this week." The conference did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The players filed a notice for emergency appeal with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Crews said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a loss in league standings. He also refused a request to re-seed the tournament without the forfeited losses. The judge said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 -– making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season's awareness of her reported identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a major election year. Crews' ruling also said injunctions are meant to prevent harm, but in this case, he argued, the harm has already occurred. The games have been forfeited, the tournament has been seeded, the teams have made travel plans and the participants have confirmed they're playing. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. Colorado State is seeded first and San Jose State, second. The teams split their regular-season matches and both get byes into Friday's semifinals. San Jose State will play the winner of Wednesday's match between Utah State and Boise State — teams that both forfeited matches to SJSU during the regular season. Boise State associate athletic director Chris Kutz declined to comment on whether the Broncos would play SJSU if they won their first-round tournament game. Utah State officials did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The conference tournament winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. San Jose State coach Todd Kress, whose team has not competed in the national tournament since 2001, has said his team has been getting "messages of hate" and that has taken a toll on his players. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official conference standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada's players stated they "refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes," without elaborating. Nevada did not qualify for the conference tournament. The nine current players and others now suing the Mountain West Conference, the California State University Board of Trustees and others include San Jose State senior setter and co-captain Brooke Slusser. The teammate Slusser says is transgender hits the volleyball with more force than others on the team, raising fear during practices of suffering concussions from a head hit, the complaint says. The Independent Council on Women's Sports is funding a separate lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports. Both lawsuits claim the landmark 1972 federal antidiscrimination law known as Title IX prohibits transgender women in women's sports. Title IX prohibits sexual discrimination in federally funded education; Slusser is a plaintiff in both lawsuits. Several circuit courts have used a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to conclude that discriminating against someone based on their transgender status or sexual orientation is sex-based discrimination, Crews wrote. That means case law does not prove the "likelihood of success" needed to grant an injunction. An NCAA policy that subjects transgender participation to the rules of sports governing bodies took effect this academic year. USA Volleyball says a trans woman must suppress testosterone for 12 months before competing. The NCAA has not flagged any issues with San Jose State.
