Ex-V8 driver Renee Gracie, who officially left the sport in 2019 and now has a career on adult subscription site Only Fans, has accused Supercars chiefs of having an “old-school mentality” and using her as a “sex sells figure”. Gracie formed the first female pairing in the sport when she competed at the 1,000km Bathurst 1000 race alongside Simona de Silvestro in 2015, but was replaced by male driver Jordan Boys after a series of poor results. The first Australian woman to race in Supercars full-time has said that bosses merely pretended to support women, insinuating that they showed double standards by turning their […]

After a summer surge that devastated the state’s plans to cut back on restrictions, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has tried to put his state back on the reopening track. In late August, he hinted at new reopening plans being on the way before rolling out an executive order in September that boosted the capacity allowed in places like restaurants and shops. And last week Abbott took action on bars in the state, which he had ordered closed back in late June amid the surge, saying the venues could soon reopen at as high as 50 percent capacity in most places if […]

Elizabeth Marvel is as tickled by the lame joke as everyone seems to be while making it. The stage and screen actor, best known for roles on Homeland and House of Cards, stars in Hulu’s Helstrom, the latest TV series tie-in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), based on characters from Marvel Comics. She’s Elizabeth Marvel, about to star in Marvel’s Helstrom. Marvel and Marvel. Get it? (That’s it. That’s the joke.) When we connect with Marvel via Zoom ahead of the series’ premiere this Friday, the actress laughs about the connection. “How they’re getting free advertising just by listing my […]
Jerry Harris, the breakout star of Netflix’s Cheer who has been accused of coercing nearly a dozen young boys into sending him explicit photos and videos, is a victim of the competitive cheerleading world “where sexual predators were largely unchecked with children of all ages,” his lawyers said in a Wednesday motion arguing for his release on bail. Harris, 21, has been in federal custody since his arrest last month on child pornography charges. He allegedly pressured at least 10 young boys—including a 13-year-old he met on Instagram—to send him explicit photos and videos, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern […]

“I know it sounds like I’m making this up,” Carla Gugino told me halfway through our interview. “But I’m actually not.” We were on the phone discussing The Haunting of Bly Manor—a follow-up to Netflix’s Haunting of Hill House in which Gugino makes a surprise appearance as the narrator. (Her character is also central to the season’s biggest, most spoiler-y twist, which we’ll get to later—with plenty of warning.) But in that moment, Gugino was not talking about Bly Manor. She was remembering the time about 15 years ago that she and her boyfriend, Sebastian, found themselves cohabiting with what she’s […]

The Sun is both creator and destroyer. The one that can foster life one second and eliminate it the next. Most people are familiar with the harmful and hazardous effects the Sun can have to life on Earth if solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections, and their associated radiation, are delivered in just the right way and at high enough intensities. But those same sets of destructive forces could actually have helped jump start and aid the formation of life on Earth. Therefore, searching for solar flares from other stars could provide critical insight into those systems’ potential to support life. […]
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has confirmed one of the sport’s most infamous rumors as he admitted that he hid under a cage in his gym to avoid drug-testers shortly after smoking a marijuana cigarette.

Marseilles defender Alvaro Gonzalez says PSG star Neymar “isn’t worthy of his respect” as he slammed the Brazil forward over the racism row which exploded in the aftermath of the meeting between the two teams last month. Neymar accused Gonzalez of branding him a “monkey son of a b*tch” in PSG’s ill-tempered defeat to Marseille at Parc de Princes in September, during which the Brazilian was sent off after a VAR review showed him slapping Gonzalez across the head during a mass brawl in injury time. Neymar’s dismissal was one of five red cards dished out, after PSG teammates Layvin Kurzawa and Leandro Paredes […]
Manchester United fans are divided after the club announced the capture of former Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani on a free transfer on Monday. The club confirmed the Uruguayan, who was a free agent after he left PSG when his contract expired in June, has signed a two-year-deal at Old Trafford. Cavani bagged 200 goals and 43 assists in 301 matches for PSG, although last season he struggled for fitness and played just 22 times, scoring seven goals.

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra led the way as fans of the Old Trafford club vented their fury and despair after a 6-1 home hammering at the hands of former manager Jose Mourinho and Tottenham Hotspur. United took the lead at Old Trafford inside two minutes through a Bruno Fernandes penalty, but Tottenham were ahead after seven minutes after they quickly responded through Tanguy Ndombele and Son Heung-min. Ndombele bundled the ball in after Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly calamitously failed to clear their lines, while Son raced onto a quickly taken freekick from Kane to slot home. The Red […]

In January 2019, NPR reported on a Mongolian heavy metal band whose epic music videos were racking up millions of views on YouTube.

The Barcelona board are braced to resist any transfer bids for Lionel Messi as new boss Ronald Koeman declares six-time Ballon d’Or winner crucial to his plans, despite the Argentinian ace’s apparent discontent at the Camp Nou. For the first time since he joined the club two decades ago, rumors have suggested that Messi’s discontent at Barcelona’s poor performance last season could lead to the club’s star player deciding that his future lies away from the Catalan club. Backroom rancor and discontent under former boss Quique Setien came to a head following Barcelona’s humiliating 8-2 UEFA Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich […]
A team of astronomers has been able to verify that a newly-detected transient event is actually a cataclysmic variable (CV) star, prone to regular episodes of dramatic brightening and dimming. CVs are close binary systems consisting of a normal star and a white dwarf companion. The systems are known to irregularly increase their brightness before dropping to a quiescent state, according to Phys.org. The new find, dubbed KSN:BS-C11a, was described in a paper published on the arXiv preprint server on August 10. The discovery was achieved via NASA’s Kepler spacecraft by a team of astronomers led by Australian National University’s Ryan […]
A surprisingly small active black hole located 15,000 light-years away is lighting up a neighboring gas cloud to a specific, shared rhythm, in a strange but fascinating phenomenon. The black hole system in question is called SS 433 and is considered a Microquasar: the black hole measures between 10 and 20 solar masses while its binary companion star is 30 times the mass of our sun. The pair orbit each other at a distance of roughly 100 light-years every 13 days, with the gas cloud pulsating in time with the underlying rhythm of the black hole.

With all due respect to the Real Housewives, Love Is Blind’s Jessica, and whatever man-whore Bachelor they’re trotting out, the best reality TV villain on television right now is Christine Quinn, the icy glamazon of Selling Sunset. “People are terrified of me,” Quinn says. “As they should be.” Netflix’s incredibly addictive reality series—from The Hills co-creator Adam DiVello—trails the statuesque female real estate agents of the Oppenheim Group as they gossip, backstab, and peddle palatial L.A. homes.

World Cup winner and in-form Premier League striker Olivier Giroud’s decision to stay at Chelsea was reportedly down to his wife’s close relationship with Marina Granovskaia, the director who is leading the charge for Kai Havertz.

A sharp-eyed protester in Portland claimed she spotted a white supremacist hate symbol taunting her from a window of the BLM-besieged federal court.

It may seem innocent enough, but the gesture stands for “White Power,”according to the Anti-Defamation League. The rows of the digit “3” are also significant, the theory goes. They stand for “33/6,” which klansmen use to refer to their […]
