So I said to my children: “Next year, you’re going to have to contribute towards Christmas.” I suggested putting a small amount of money in a jar, here or there, from September onwards and giving it to me in December. We did that for a few years, but it was stressful. Some people contributed more than others, and I had to keep chasing everyone up to pay—it was more trouble than it was worth....

The Detroit Pistons’ center was asked by Fox Sports presenter Melissa Rohlin what was going through his head having watched the clip of the LeBron incident.

After paying him €100,000 for signing the contract, Trabzonspor took action and FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber ruled in their favour....

At the age of six, my family decided—based on my ability to draw a particular line that had perplexed me during a test—that I was the “gifted” child. From that point forward, my life became an exercise in preparation, concentration, and repetition. I practiced sketching like it was an Olympic sport. My days were sectioned into practice times. Talk of a future at Yewon unfolded around me like I had already matriculated....

There was never any doubt in my mind that John planned to run for the U.S. Senate sometime in the next decade. But he didn’t want public office to be an automatic birthright. His political heroes–Nelson Mandela, Vaclav Havel, Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez, among others–were all dedicated to reaching out to the downtrodden, championing the poor. Once when I asked him what his theme song would be if he were president, John, without hesitation, said, “Bob Dylan’s ‘Chimes of Freedom....

As a child growing up with spastic cerebral palsy in Suffolk, Virginia, I incurred a slew of hateful comments and judgment. I attribute this to a lack of empathy, social stigma, and a lack of education on differences. I still experience this greatly at 49 years old. Despite being a successful bodybuilder, I have been denied countless jobs, been accused of being intoxicated, been publicly berated and been called a “liability....

McGregor has never been afraid to make bold claims. ‘The Notorious’ was no different when Mayweather insulted him on social media. ‘Money’ poked fun at the Irishman for punching a man connected to the Kinahan cartel, a prominent crime group out of Dublin, Ireland, in 2017.

The Nets found themselves in the middle of the national spotlight throughout the NBA offseason. After coming into the 2021-22 season as favorites to make it to the NBA Finals, Brooklyn saw their season take a turn for the worse.

I had worked with Shondaland before Bridgerton and at the time I had just finished the movie Maleficent: Mistress of Evil in London and so I knew what was in Europe in terms of costumes.

I recall saying to them: “You know, this will be very expensive, because I know your aesthetic and it does not exist....
