Warriors’ Tribute to Late NBA Coach Don Nelson for 2026-27 Season

0

This season, the Golden State Warriors will pay tribute to legendary NBA coach Don Nelson by wearing a commemorative patch on their uniforms. The patch will feature the word “NELLIE” across the shoulder, a heartfelt nod to their former coach.

On Wednesday, Golden State revealed plans for the tribute patch to honor Nelson, who passed away on August 9.

Nelson’s coaching legacy with the Warriors is notable, encompassing two distinct periods from 1988-1995 and 2006-2010, during which he secured 422 regular-season wins with the team.

Under his leadership, the Warriors made significant strides, reaching the playoffs six times and advancing to the Western Conference finals on three occasions.

Before his successful time with Golden State, Nelson had a remarkable career with the Milwaukee Bucks, achieving a 540-344 record from November 1976 through May 1987.

In 2010, Nelson became the NBA’s all-time winningest coach and eventually fell to second on that list in 2022, when Gregg Popovich surpassed him. Nelson had 1,335 regular-season victories, and Popovich had 1,390.

Although Nelson never won an NBA Finals, one of his most iconic moments as a coach came in 2007 when he sparked his Golden State team with “We believe.” The Warriors eliminated a 67-win Mavericks team from the playoffs and became the first eighth-seeded team to eliminate a top-seeded team in a seven-game playoff series.

The game differential of the Warriors over the Mavericks went on to become the largest by a team to do so in a playoff series.

Nelson’s final major contribution to the Warriors came in 2009, when he laid the foundation for the franchise’s dynasty.

At the time, it was viewed as a “long shot,” but the Warriors selected Steph Curry with the seventh overall pick of the 2009 NBA Draft based on Nelson’s recommendation. The franchise went on to win four NBA titles in 2015, 2018, 2018 and 2022 behind the game’s greatest shooter.

Russian Tennis Star’s Viral Rant Exposes US Open Flight Ordeal

0

Tennis sensation Anastasia Potapova, originally from Russia, recently unleashed her frustration on social media, taking aim at a United Airlines flight attendant due to a reportedly distressing experience ahead of the US Open.

Ranked 28th globally, Potapova turned to social platforms to voice her grievances regarding the service she claims to have encountered on her journey from Houston to New York, accompanied by her loyal canine companion.

At 25, Potapova has opted to represent Austria in her tennis endeavors, transitioning her nationality just as the women’s singles competition at Flushing Meadows approaches.

Taking to her Instagram Story, Potapova confessed, ‘I’ve never been compelled to make such a public statement before, but this time, silence isn’t an option.’

As an athlete who frequently globetrots, Potapova expressed disbelief over the unprecedented level of disrespect, impoliteness, and perceived bias she faced during this particular flight.

‘To me, flight attendants are supposed to be there to help passengers, not create problems for them.

‘Today, on my flight from Houston to New York, flight UA678, I encountered a flight attendant who repeatedly seemed to go out of her way to cause problems for me for no apparent reason.

‘She was extremely rude both to me personally and in the way she treated my dog. She also repeatedly brought up my status and threatened to remove me from the flight because of it.

‘Her name is Mary. I truly hope that your airline will look into this situation and take it seriously, because no passenger — and no animal — deserves to be treated in such a humiliating and disrespectful way, especially by a member of the cabin crew.’

Potapova also shared a photo of the flight attendant she was complaining about, then shared a reply from a follower claiming she ‘had the same problem with that same woman’ and alleging the message was ‘one of many’. 

The tennis star, who knocked American Coco Gauff out of the French Open earlier this year, revealed she was ‘in conversation’ with United Airlines and added: ‘I really appreciate quick reaction to OUR problem.’ 

Potapova reached the second round of the US Open singles draw last year, losing to Mirra Andreeva. She reached a career-best third round in New York in 2024.

It has been a strong year so far, reaching the fourth round at Roland Garros after beating Gauff and becoming the first lucky loser to reach a WTA 1000 semifinal before losing to Marta Kostyuk at the Madrid Open.

She was previously married to fellow tennis star Alexander Shevchenko, but they divorced after the 2024 US Open.

Opening up on their split in an interview with Bolshe in 2025, she said:  ‘I made some shockingly big decisions at the end of the year. But like I mentioned, that’s life.

Unfortunately, things like that happen and you have to accept it. Of course, I’m very disappointed it all went the way it did.’

‘I really wish Sasha – I can say it on camera, I’m not ashamed of these words – I really wish him all the best, and he deserves all the best. I wish him all the best with his career, as well, because he’s very talented and he has to keep working and developing as a player. But I guess we had problems; some couples get over these problems, and some don’t. Unfortunately, we were one of the couples that didn’t.’

‘My team, my close ones, even me, we were all shocked by how mentally strong I could be.

‘Every other person came to me and asked, ‘So what, you two broke up?’ On tour, outside the tour. Of course, it’s not really polite, but it’s life and people are curious. It’s like a TV show for them. 

‘I think I needed to put an end to it, to end things officially, so I wouldn’t get those questions anymore. I think that was the last step I needed to finally set myself free.’

Brooklyn Beckham Stands Up for Nicola Against Body-Shamers

Brooklyn Beckham has stepped up to defend his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, against online criticism.

At 27, Brooklyn took to Instagram on Tuesday, August 25, sharing a video of himself crafting a cottage pie. However, the wholesome post was met with an unkind comment about Nicola’s appearance, stating, “Do you comment on everyone who is concerned about your wife and how sickly she looks? She puts herself out there; feed her.”

Not one to hold back, Brooklyn addressed the unnecessary critique, firmly responding, “Don’t ever talk about my wife. She’s absolutely beautiful and you should never comment on a woman’s body.” He further condemned the comment as “disgraceful.”

Brooklyn and Nicola, 31, began their romantic journey in 2019. Just after six months of dating, Brooklyn proposed to the model. Their love story led them to a beautiful wedding ceremony in Florida, April 2022, with a vow renewal following in August 2025.

Earlier this year, it was reported by People that Nicola underwent a “physical transformation and intense workout regimen” for her upcoming role as Margo in the film Prima. In this role, she portrays a ballerina raised by her grandmother.

She later opened up to Elle about the role in March, saying, “I’m a huge fan of [director] Ryan [Murphy] and his worlds. I dreamed of working with him.”

Nicola Peltz Beckham is looking forward — not back — amid her husband Brooklyn Beckham’s ongoing family drama. While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, March 5, Nicola, 31, was asked how she’s “navigated” the attention on the familial estrangement. “I’ve been editing my next film [Prima] for the past two and a half […]

She continued, “When he called and explained that I was going to play the younger version of Isabella Rossellini, I was incredibly excited. I received the script, but I only got to read my episode. So Brooklyn and I watched the series at home when it premiered. And we were blown away!” (A release date for the film has not yet been announced.)

She also got candid about being in the spotlight and trying to brush off the negative comments about herself. “I’m very sensitive, and I need to work on not reading everything: online news, social media comments,” she explained. “I try not to pay attention to what people say, but it affects me. I need to learn to distance myself.”

Kickstart the journey to a robust and stable lower body by incorporating these expert-endorsed bed exercises into your routine.

Engaging in exercises on your bed can be a fantastic solution for those experiencing limited mobility or stiffness. These exercises offer numerous advantages, such as enhancing muscle strength, boosting circulation, and providing a thorough stretch for your joints. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just beginning your fitness journey, bed-based workouts can be an effective and accessible option to get you on the right track.

As we age, it becomes increasingly important to focus on strengthening the thighs. These muscles play a vital role in activities such as walking, maintaining balance, and transitioning from sitting to standing.

To provide guidance, we reached out to Meera Watts, Founder and CEO of Siddhi Yoga. She specializes in empowering individuals to build strength without the necessity of a comprehensive gym setup.

“Bed exercises provide a gentle yet effective way to strengthen the thighs while honing control and body awareness—especially beneficial for those over 60,” Meera explains. “These exercises are not mere watered-down versions of gym routines. They serve as an excellent beginning for anyone focused on regaining strength, recovering from periods of inactivity, or cautiously reintroducing movement. The objective is to foster strength while honoring your current physical state.”

Here with five bed exercises that can restore thigh strength faster than squats after 60. Together, these moves work the front, back, inner, and outer thigh muscles while training flexibility and control.

Reclined Leg Flex And Extend

“The slow stretch works the quadriceps and takes the knee through a useful range of motion. You don’t even have to get out of your bed,” Watts says.

  1. Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the mattress.
  2. Brace your core.
  3. Lift your right leg off the mattress and bring that knee in toward your chest.
  4. Slowly extend your right leg, reaching that heel away from your body.
  5. Bring it back in.
  6. Repeat with your left leg.

Tragedy Unfolds: Family Dinner Turns Into Devastating Murder-Suicide with 8 Lives Lost

0

A heart-wrenching tragedy struck a Montana community when a man took the lives of eight family members, including four children, before setting their house ablaze, according to a family member and authorities.

Yellowstone County Sheriff Kent O’Donnell, in an emotional address during an Aug. 26 press conference, remarked, “This is beyond a tragedy. It’s a devastation so deep that words can scarcely capture it. The family has been shattered in a way that might be irreparable.”

Identified suspect Alan Michael Smith reportedly ended his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Sheriff O’Donnell acknowledged the incident, firmly stating, “Remember this only once, as I refuse to speak this name again.”

The nightmarish events unfolded on Aug. 23, as a gathering at a residence on White Star Circle was underway. A multi-generational family had come together for dinner, spanning four generations under one roof.

At approximately 6 p.m., an urgent 911 call was made from inside the house, relaying acute distress and indicating injuries among those present.

When police officers arrived, Alan was in the front yard and was confronted before he retreated into the home. 

“At the same time, there was smoke coming from the house [and] more gunshots could be heard in the house,” said O’Donnell. “The suspect fled out the back of the house into the backyard and took his own life.”  

Firefighters fought the blaze until 1 a.m., Billings Fire Department Chief Matt Hoppel said, according to NBC News

The victims included Alan’s younger sister Megan Ghekiere, her children Owen Ireland, 13, and Chloe Ireland, 7, along with Megan’s stepchildren Landon Ghekiere, 15, and Charlotte Ghekiere, 12, Megan’s ex-husband Brad Ireland told the Associated Press.

Alan’s parents, Dana and Barb Smith, and his grandmother, Evelyn Smith, also died. 

Alan was described as a “hermit” by Brad, noting the 44-year-old spent a lot of time in his bedroom on his computer until his parents asked him to move out weeks earlier. 

“No one knew what he did in there 24/7,” Brad told the AP. “There were many red flags and many people spoke out. No one listened.” 

For Megan’s husband Adam Ghekiere, the family dinner came as a surprise, especially as those gatherings are often reserved for Fridays.

“I don’t think he expected my kids to be there,” Adam told the AP. “‘Monster isn’t even enough to describe what he did.” 

Police did not confirm who made the 911 call, but according to family and friends, it was Adam’s daughter Charlotte.   

“The one thing we do know is that Charlotte was the hero,” neighbor Jennifer Mercer told the AP. “She tried to save her family. And that’s something the family does want out there.”

Deadly Seattle Festival Shooting: Chilling 911 Call Released

0

Recently released 911 calls provide new insights into the tragic shooting that unfolded at Seattle’s renowned Bite of Seattle festival. These recordings reveal the dramatic efforts of emergency responders as they hurried to assist multiple victims at the scene.

One distressed caller, who reported being shot in the back, could be heard urgently telling the dispatcher, “I’m losing blood.”

The individual on the line admitted uncertainty about the identity of the shooter.

The caller continued, “I don’t know who did it. I took cover. I see the officers down here,” emphasizing their lack of clarity amidst the chaos.

The dispatcher tried to keep the wounded person calm as help was sent toward the water fountain where the caller was believed to be waiting.

“It’s okay. Just breathe. Breathe with me. I’m going to stay with you,” the dispatcher said.

Moments later, the caller said they were with an officer.

Other emergency transmissions capture dispatchers and first responders working to assess the scope of the unfolding violence near the Seattle Center Armory.

“Multiple people down at this point,” one dispatcher said when asked whether anyone had been shot.

As reports continued to come in, another dispatcher requested “as many aid units as possible,” saying there were at least two people down — “but more than that.”

Emergency crews initially treated the area as an active scene while officials worked to determine whether it was safe for responders to enter.

“Let’s treat that as an active scene for now,” a dispatcher said.

A dispatcher later said there were “six confirmed gunshot wounds” amid the chaotic response.

The calls come as Seattle police have offered few public updates on the investigation.

Fox 13 Seattle reported that interim Police Chief Andre Sayles said earlier this month that investigators had developed new information and expected to make an arrest, but he declined to disclose details.

“I think the biggest thing is, you know, it’s going to cause a little bit of frustration, is the integrity of this investigation,” Sayles said Aug. 7, according to the outlet. “There’s some information that we have. I want to make sure that we keep the integrity of that investigation close to the vest until we can make the appropriate arrest.”

A 15-year-old suspect remains in custody in connection with the shooting.

The Mayor’s Office said in a statement to the outlet that the administration “continues to work closely with the Seattle Police Department to ensure information about critical events reach the public.”

The shooting erupted last month outside the Seattle Center Armory during the Bite of Seattle food festival, near the Space Needle. Three people were killed and four others were wounded, including a 2-year-old boy, authorities previously said.

The dead included a 19-year-old man and a 44-year-old man who were pronounced dead at the scene. A 56-year-old woman later died after she was transported to a hospital in critical condition.

Wilson called the shooting “an act of horrific violence.”

“Impacted families are living through the worst moment of their lives, and an entire community is trying to understand how a gathering built around culture, connection, and joy ended in gunfire,” Wilson said at the time.

“No one should have to weigh the risk of being shot before attending an event, gathering with friends, or experiencing their city,” she added.

Wilson said officials believed a 15-year-old had opened fire into the crowd, though details remained under investigation. The teen was booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of firearms violations and first-degree assault. No homicide charges had been filed as of the most recent update.

Former Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes said investigators believed gunfire was exchanged outside the Armory after a conflict involving small groups believed to be at odds with one another, leaving bystanders caught in the crossfire.

Investigators initially believed two gunmen were involved. But a juvenile-court document later indicated the detained teen and an acquaintance who was found dead at the scene may have exchanged gunfire with at least one other, unidentified suspect.

News Media reached out to the Seattle Police Department and mayor’s office for comment.

Legendary Pop and TV Icon Jaye P. Morgan Passes Away at 94

0

Jaye P. Morgan, a celebrated female recording artist of the 1950s known for dominating the charts, has passed away at the age of 94. Morgan, whose illustrious career began with five hit singles in 1955—including the standout “That’s All I Want From You”—also garnered fame as a frequent guest on talk shows and game shows. Her memorable antics on “The Gong Show,” where she once daringly removed her shirt, further solidified her place in entertainment history.

Morgan died on Monday in Longview, Washington, due to natural causes, her longtime attorney and friend, Mark Sendroff, confirmed. In her later years, she lived with her nephew and niece, Duke Morgan Spencer and Peggy Sue Spencer.

Among Morgan’s most notable chart successes were two Top 10 hits: “That’s All I Want From You” and “The Longest Walk.” She enjoyed additional acclaim with Top 20 hits such as “Danger! Heartbreak Ahead,” “If You Don’t Want My Love,” and “Pepper-Hot Baby.” Collaborations also highlighted her career, with her pairing with Perry Como yielding “Chee Chee-Oo Chee (Sang the Little Bird)” and “Two Lost Souls,” along with a moderate hit, “Mutual Admiration Society,” reaching No. 47 with Eddy Arnold.

In the years that followed, Morgan transitioned to television, becoming a staple guest on “The Tonight Show” and making appearances on shows hosted by Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, and Mike Douglas, as well as on popular series like “Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island.” However, it was her stint as a celebrity judge on “The Gong Show,” alongside personalities like Jamie Farr and Rip Taylor since 1976, that made her a household name.

On “The Gong Show,” amateur performers would present their acts, enduring the judges’ scrutiny. Once an act became unbearable, a judge would strike a gong to end it. The winning performer of the episode would be awarded a whimsical cash prize of $516.32.

On one episode, Eugene Patton — the dancing stagehand performing as Gene Gene the Dancing Machine — started his thing when Morgan opened her shirt to expose her breasts, helping bring an end to the show’s run on NBC in 1978.

“It paid good money, and it was great exposure. I really enjoyed it,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 1992.

“Jaye P. Morgan’s devil-may-care ad libs on television game shows have probably made her more famous as a personality than as a singer,” The New York Times wrote in 1984. “But the same kooky recklessness that inspires Miss Morgan’s remarks is also a part of her musical sensibility.”

Her film credits include “The All-American Boy” with Jon Voight, “Loose Shoes,” “The Gong Show Movie,” “Night Patrol” and the 2002 Miramax release “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,” directed by George Clooney.

Jaye P. Morgan’s early life

Morgan was born Mary Margaret Morgan in a log cabin in Mancos, Colorado, and her show business career started early. At the age of 3, she was part of the Morgan Family, a traveling vaudeville act that included her mother, her father, her sister and five brothers. The group disbanded after their father’s death in 1945.

Morgan was class treasurer of her California high school and her peers nicknamed her J.P. after the 19th century financier J.P. Morgan. She later feminized it by changing the initial J to Jaye.

But by the time she was 17, she was singing professionally again, and in 1950 she joined Frank De Vol’s orchestra, singing with it for three years.

Her recording career got underway via “Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries” and “Just a Gigolo” with De Vol on a small label, Derby Records, that reached No. 26 on the Billboard chart. That led RCA Records to come calling with a recording contract.

She was a regular on the Robert Q. Lewis national daytime variety TV show and the nighttime game show “Stop the Music” hosted by Bert Parks. In 1954, DownBeat magazine’s annual DJ poll crowned her best new female singer of the year. She took her nightclub act on the road and made her Las Vegas debut at the New Frontier Hotel & Casino.

Morgan’s onscreen career

Morgan even got her own TV show in 1956 — “The Jaye P. Morgan Show,” which featured four of her brothers. Her solo albums include “Jaye P. Morgan” — produced by Davis Foster — “Jay P. Morgan Lately!” and a joint album with Kaye Ballard called “Long Time Friends.”

An appearance on “The Tonight Show” opened up a career for her on television talk shows and she kept returning to Johnny Carson for five years. “I take my body everyplace I go,” she joked to the host in a 1972 episode. She also was a guest on “The Odd Couple” playing herself and singing their goofy song “Happy, Peppy and Bursting with Love.”

During one memorable episode of “The Muppet Show,” Morgan appeared in a bird costume and seemed unhappy she was there at all. When Kermit tells her it’s a thrill to have her on, she replies: “I’m really indifferent about being here.” Kermit is aghast, calling the opening number cute. “I hate cute,” replies Morgan.

Other Morgan credits include a role in “Home Alone 2,” with Macaulay Culkin, appearances on “Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island,” and co-starring with Eddie Bracken in the national tour of “Sugar Babies.”

Married and divorced three times, Morgan is survived by a son, Paul Kane.

Melissa Joan Hart Shares Updates on Ongoing Earnings from Iconic ’80s Film

0

In a recent interview, Melissa Joan Hart unveiled the unexpected earnings she continues to receive from a beloved 1980s movie, despite not making it into the final cut. The revelation about her ongoing earnings from this classic film comes as quite a surprise.

At 50, Hart disclosed on Wednesday that she still consistently receives residual payments from the 1986 blockbuster, “Crocodile Dundee.” Remarkably, she filmed her scenes at the tender age of 10, yet her footage was ultimately left on the cutting room floor of this hit Australian movie.

‘I was in Crocodile Dundee, and even though you will not see my face in it – I was cut out – I still get my 26 cents every few months or something,’ she admitted while speaking to Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea.

The Daily Mail has sought comments from Hart’s representatives regarding this interesting tidbit, although no response has been provided as of yet.

Despite the enduring success of “Sabrina The Teenage Witch,” Hart admitted that the payments have significantly decreased over the years since “Crocodile Dundee” captivated audiences worldwide. These checks, she noted, have ‘dwindled’ over time, but they still trickle in.

Nevertheless, Hart also highlighted that she and many of her fellow actors have found creative ways to make the most of these modest residual checks, ensuring they remain useful even if they’re not substantial.

‘There’s actually a bar in LA called Residuals where you can take your residuals and put it toward your drinks,’ she shared.

Crocodile Dundee stars Paul Hogan in the title role as an Australian bushman who becomes a fish out of water when he travels to New York City and finds that his Outback survival skills don’t always translate.

The low-budget film went on to gross $328 million, making it the highest-grossing Australian film of all time, both domestically and abroad, and it also became the second-highest grossing film in the US in 1986. 

The movie’s success led to another hit sequel, 1988’s Crocodile Dundee II, as well as 2001’s Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, which was a critical and commercial failure. 

Hart previously revealed on the Too Much Information podcast that she appeared in Crocodile Dundee as a young girl who skins her knee in Central Park, only for Hogan’s character to unexpectedly heal her.

The actress, who finally broke out when she played the title role in Nickelodeon’s teen sitcom Clarissa Explains It All from 1991 to 1994, spoke about coming to terms with the disappointments of being a professional actor and her experience on Crocodile Dundee while speaking to She Knows in 2011.

‘You find that you have a lot of rejection and you learn young that you have to let it go, and if you don’t have thick skin, you aren’t going to make it,’ Hart said.

She spent her early career as a child actor appearing in commercials, and she suffered another disappointment in 1988 when she lost out on the lead role in Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers.

Hart went on to establish herself in TV after her early attempts at launching a film career.

After her early success in Clarissa Explains It All, she scored her biggest role to date with the 1996 TV movie Sabrina the Teenage Witch, the success of which led to an identically titled teen sitcom. 

The show aired for four seasons on ABC, before transferring to The WB for its final three seasons, until its cancellation in 2003.

Hart later returned to a lead series role opposite Joey Lawrence on ABC Family’s Melissa & Joey, which aired four seasons from 2010 to 2015.

Hart’s newest project is the reality competition series Totally ’90s House, in which she joins a group of other stars of the 1990s, including her Melissa & Joey costar Lawrence, his brother Matthew Lawrence, Full House star Jodie Sweetin, The Cosby Show’s Keshia Knight Pulliam, Brian Austin Green of Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, and 7th Heaven star Beverley Mitchell.

Jaleel White, best known for playing Steve Urkel on Family Matters, hosts the series, which pits the contestants against each other as they attempt to renovate a house that hasn’t been updated since the ’90s. 

Totally ’90s House makes its debut on Wednesday night at 9pm ET on HGTV.
