Eagle-eyed viewers spot Tulisa was eager to remove 'all traces' of I'm A CelebIt’s looking more and more likely the Vikings will be without veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore for a second straight game. He hasn’t played since suffering a hamstring injury against the Arizona Cardinals a couple of weeks ago. Though he has an extra 24 hours to prepare this week with the Vikings set to host the Chicago Bears on Monday night at U.S. Bank Stadium, the fact that Gilmore still hasn’t practiced in any capacity isn’t a good sign. After not participating in the walkthrough on Thursday afternoon at TCO Performance Center, Gilmore was listed as a non participant in practice on Friday afternoon. It would make sense for the Vikings to be cautious with Gilmore considering how important he’s been to the secondary this season. They want to make sure he’s back at 100 percent for the playoffs. In the absence of Gilmore, veteran cornerback Fabian Moreau has logged more playing time. There also has been more responsibility placed on fellow cornerbacks Byron Murphy Jr. and Shaq Griffin, with safety Josh Metellus also mixing in at nickel. It appears that edge rusher Pat Jones II is getting closer to making his return given that he was listed as a full participant in practice on Friday afternoon. He has been working through a knee injury and missed last Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Having Jones back would be a major boost for the Vikings on defense, as he has found a role as a situational pass rusher. He has a career high 7.0 sacks this season while showcasing the ability to apply pressure off the edge or up the middle. In response to his philanthropy near and far, safety Cam Bynum has been named the NFLPA Community MVP for Week 15. Not only has Bynum regularly used his platform in the NFL to help with natural disaster relief in the Philippines, he has continued to spread joy in and around the Twin Cities through charitable events hosted by his Bynum Faith Foundation. The NFLPA will donate $10,000 to his foundation or charity of choice. In turn, Bynum will take part in a special visit to a local school, children’s hospital, or community center. The recognition also makes Bynum eligible for the Alan Page Community Award, the NFLPA’s highest player honor, which includes an additional $100,000 donation to the winner’s charities. The rest of the injury report was good news for the Vikings as running back Aaron Jones (back), tight end Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle), and edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel (hip) were all listed as full participants.
NoneNAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Angel Yin was making putts from across the green and threatening to build a big lead until Jeeno Thitikul finished eagle-birdie for a 9-under 63 to share the lead Saturday going into the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship with $4 million on the line. Yin had a 69 after another day of big putts and one chip-in from some 60 feet for eagle on the par-5 sixth hole that put her comfortably ahead at Tiburon Golf Club. She holed a 30-footer on the eighth hole, another birdie from about 25 feet on the ninth hole and another one from the 30-foot range on the 12th. Thitikul seemed to be an afterthought until she lit it up on the back nine for a 30. The Thai started the back nine with three straight bogeys, but she made up quick ground at the end with her eagle on the reachable par-5 17th and a birdie on the closing hole. The birdie briefly gave her the lead until Yin made birdie on the 17th to join her. They were tied at 15-under 201, three shots head of Ruoning Yin, who birdied her last two for a 66. Charley Hull had seven birdies in her round of 66 and was at 11-under 205, along with Narin An of South Korea. Nelly Korda, who got back into the mix on Friday after a sluggish start, lost ground with a 69 on a pleasant day that left her six shots back going into the final round. Korda has won four of her seven LPGA titles this year coming from behind. This could be a tall order. At stake is the richest payoff in women's golf, $4 million to the winner, nearly as much as Korda has made all year in her seven-victory season. Thitikul already picked up a $1 million bonus this week through the Aon Risk-Reward Challenge, a competition based on how players score on a designated hole each week. Now she could leave Florida with a total of $5 million. “Actually, $1 million is really good enough for me,” Thitikul said. “If I can get more, it’s definitely going to be a nice, because as my team know I spend a lot of money. That’s why I have to keep playing good golf, like spending on shopping day.” Angel Yin heard plenty of cheers for her long birdie putts, and the chip-in for eagle. She also was helped by a couple of pars after bad drives. She went well to the left at No. 10, did well to blast out on a blind shot just short of the green and then got up-and-down with a pitch to 4 feet. And then on the 13th, another tee shot went well to the left. She tried to get it back in play from just in front of some bushes, and from 50 yards hit wedge to about 15 feet. She holed that putt, too, that kept her in front. “I'm scoring still,” Yin said. “Making some mistakes, but saving a bunch, so a lot of positives.” AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
WASHINGTON — Federal authorities on Tuesday urged telecommunication companies to boost network security following a sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. The guidance issued by the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. Officials who briefed reporters on the recommendations said the U.S. still doesn't know the true scope of China's attack or the extent to which Chinese hackers still have access to U.S. networks. In one sign of the global reach of China's hacking efforts, the government's warning was issued jointly with security agencies in New Zealand, Australia and Canada, members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which also includes the U.S. and Britain. Dubbed Salt Typhoon by analysts, the wide-ranging cyberespionage campaign emerged earlier this year after hackers sought to penetrate the networks of multiple telecommunications companies. The hackers used their access to telecom networks to target the metadata of a large number of customers, including information on the dates, times and recipients of calls and texts. The hackers succeeded in retrieving the actual audio files of calls and content from texts from a much smaller number of victims. The FBI has contacted victims in this group, many of whom work in government or politics, but officials said it is up to telecom companies to notify customers included in the first, larger group. Despite months of investigation, the true scale of China's operation, including the total number of victims or whether the hackers still have some access to information, is currently unknown. The FBI has said some of the information targeted by the hackers relates to U.S. law enforcement investigations and court orders, suggesting the hackers may have been trying to access programs subject to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. The law grants American spy agencies sweeping powers to surveil the communications of people suspected of being agents of a foreign power. But on Tuesday, officials said they think the hackers were more broadly motivated, hoping to burrow deeply into the nation's telecommunications systems to gain wide access to Americans' information. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the Salt Typhoon operation and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, said Jeff Greene, CISA's executive assistant director for cybersecurity and one of the officials who briefed reporters Tuesday. "We don't have any illusion that once we kick off these actors they're not going to come back," Greene said. Several recent high-profile hacking incidents have been linked to China and what officials say is Beijing's effort to steal technical and government secrets while also gaining access to critical infrastructure such as the electrical grid. In September, the FBI announced that it had disrupted a vast Chinese hacking operation that involved the installation of malicious software on more than 200,000 consumer devices, including cameras, video recorders and home and office routers. The devices were then used to create a massive network of infected computers, or botnet, that could then be used to carry out other cyber crimes. In October, officials said hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. China has rejected accusations from U.S. officials that it engages in cyberespionage directed against Americans. A message left with China's embassy in Washington was not immediately returned Tuesday.Timeline: Jimmy Carter, 1924-2024

After debuting a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , Julien Baker and TORRES released their country single “Sugar in the Tank,” the first taste of a long-rumored collaboration album. The steady-rolling song is a change of pace for both artists, with pedal steel and banjo backing up simple, sweet lyrics promising serious devotion to a lover in the face of hesitation. The combination of TORRES’ low croon and Baker’s earnest high harmony communicate a desperation beyond words, as they sing: “I hate just watching through the window when you pull up / And I’m still thinking I should stay home / Come on baby, put a little sugar in the tank / And I love you all the way.” Though it’s the artists’ first foray into the genre’s twangiest regions, the song is a masterful ode to classic country love songs. And while TORRES (aka Mackenzie Scott) has written plenty of hopeful romantic tunes — see 2021’s Thirstier — this may be the first time Julien Baker has put out an upbeat song, at least without her boygenius bandmates. It’s nice to switch it up sometimes! Decked out with bolo ties and Nudie suits, the duo christened the tune with a live debut on Fallon on Tuesday and the track hit streaming services Friday. They’ve also announced a run of festival dates next year, including a stop at Knoxville’s Big Ears Festival in March. You can keep an eye for further dates and music announcements on their website , or by following Baker and TORRES on Instagram.

And no need to limit your viewing to Criminal Minds or Law & Order , either—options from Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer and The Keepers to the less-bloody-but-equally-thrilling Inventing Anna and Baby Reindeer abound. Read on for some of the best true-crime shows to add to your queue for your next night in. Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara (2024) In the late ’90s and early 2000s, the indie rock duo Tegan and Sara—made up of twin sisters—rose to fame, performing everywhere from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to Coachella. They cultivated a close-knit, passionate fan base online by leveraging the emerging social media platforms of the era to connect directly with their audience. However, their community—and the band itself—was profoundly shaken when a scammer stole Tegan’s identity and began forming fake relationships with fans. This riveting Hulu documentary delves into the trauma of a 16-year-long catfishing ordeal, offering a compelling cautionary tale about the dangers of parasocial connections gone tragically wrong. Baby Reindeer (2024) The Netflix show that took 2024—and the internet—by storm, Baby Reindeer , revolves around the real-life story of a struggling comedian and bartender, Richard Gadd, targeted by a female stalker named Martha ( Jessica Gunning ). It’s dark, nuanced, and twisted—but also, surprisingly funny. “I think life is a comedy-drama,” Gadd explains of the genre-blending show. “Some of the darkest places I’ve been, I’ve found giggles somehow. And some of the funniest places I’ve been, including backstage at comedy clubs with other comedians, can be the most depressing as well. I always think life is a mixture of light and shade. So I wanted Baby Reindeer to be a blend of both.” Love & Death (2023) There’s nothing more mesmerizing than watching Elizabeth Olsen portray Candy Montgomery, a cheerful 1980s Texas housewife who gradually becomes unhinged by her Stepford Wives-esque life. Her descent leads to an unlikely affair with her church friend’s husband and, ultimately, to murdering her friend with an axe. “She was a really beloved woman,” Olsen told Vogue Australia about the real-life Montgomery. “People were so shocked to hear something like this happened.” You’ll be equally shocked watching it all unfold in this seven-part Max series. (And let’s not forget the captivating early ’80s hair, fashion, and sets—they’re absolutely riveting.) Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022) The first season of Netflix’s true-crime anthology series follows the string of horrific murders in Ohio and Wisconsin that made Jeffrey Dahmer one of the most notorious serial killers and cannibals in America. Evan Peters ( American Horror Story ; Mare of Easttown ) stars. The Dropout (2022) Based on the podcast of the same name, Hulu’s The Dropout follows the deceit (and self-destruction) of Elizabeth Holmes’s company Theranos. After dropping out of Stanford at 19, Holmes infamously told investors that Theranos—which purported to scan for hundreds of diseases with just a pinprick of blood—would revolutionize biotechnology. But the entrepreneur (portrayed here by Amanda Seyfried in an Emmy-winning turn) was later caught for fraud—and Theranos’s too-good-to-be-true technology deemed just that. Inventing Anna (2022) For those who prefer their true crime with less blood, there’s no better watch than this Shonda Rhimes’ Netflix miniseries based on Anna Delvy , the faux heiress who scammed her way through New York’s arts scene and swindled banks out of at least $100,000. Portrayed by Julia Garner with pitch-perfect accuracy and heavy on Rhimes’ signature fast-paced vivacity, the show makes for a playful romp that will have you wondering if Delvy was merely an intrepid entrepreneur or something far more sinister. The fashion industry references are pretty fun, too. The Staircase (2022) After Michael Peterson’s wife, Kathleen, is found dead at the bottom of the staircase in their home, Peterson, a crime novelist, is accused of her murder. This HBO miniseries—based on the 2004 true crime docuseries of the same name, and starring Colin Firth, Toni Collette, and Michael Stuhlbarg, among others—follows his trial to answer the age-old question: Is it always the husband? Under the Banner of Heaven (2022) Based on the 2003 book by Jon Krakauer, this psychological thriller unravels the chilling true story behind a mother and her baby’s double murder in the Salt Lake Valley in 1984. As investigators— including a Detective Jeb Pyre (Andrew Garfield)—pursue justice, they shed light on religious extremism within the Mormon community. Night Stalker: The Hunt For a Serial Killer (2021) Split into four parts, Night Stalker is a documentary series about Richard Ramirez, a serial killer and sex offender who wreaked havoc on Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. A detective and investigator team up to track down the killer and bring him to justice. Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer (2020) This gripping five-part docuseries shifts the focus from Ted Bundy to his victims, placing his actions in the context of the feminist movement of the 1970s and underlining Bundy’s extreme misogyny. (Consider it a counter to the rather more glamorous Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile , starring Zac Efron and Lily Collins.) Don’t F**K with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer (2019) This three-part docuseries follows the online manhunt for Luka Magnotta, a former porn actor who posted a video of himself killing two kittens in 2010 before becoming the prime suspect in the murder of Jun Lin, a Chinese international student. The show explores the dark side of the internet and the pursuit of justice by a group of internet sleuths. Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story (2018) Trayvon Martin was 17 years old when he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in 2012. Claiming that he acted in self defense, Zimmerman was later found not guilty of second-degree murder—prompting a wave of protests against both the trial’s verdict and the American justice system more generally. This series explores the intersections of racism, gun violence, and politics in the United States, while honoring Martin’s life with a touching portrayal of the young man before his tragic death. The Keepers (2017) The Keepers investigates the unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik, a Catholic nun and high school teacher in Baltimore who went missing in 1969 before being found dead two months later. It’s worth a watch, especially now that a related case is making headlines again. American Crime Story (2016- ) The Emmy award-winning anthology series has covered a different crime each season, jumping from the O. J. Simpson trial in 1995 to the assassination of Gianni Versace in 1997 and—most recently—the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal in 1998 to 1999. The latter featured Beanie Feldstein as the young White House intern, Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp, and Clive Owen and Edie Falco as the president and first lady. The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (2015) New York real-estate heir Robert Durst is surrounded by death. First, his wife goes missing in the 1980s; then his family friend is murdered; and then his neighbor. But the one thing they all have in common is Robert. The six-part series is the culmination of a decade’s worth of research—through police files, formerly hidden documents, archival footage, and even an interview with the convicted murderer himself.
