CNN —Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in another civil lawsuit, marking at least the 12th misconduct lawsuit he’s faced in as many months. “At every visit, Defendant Combs would make her ‘perform a show’ for him and would ply her with alcohol and substances until she passed out,” the suit states. In July 2024, according to the complaint, Combs “commanded” Jane Doe to his home in Miami, Florida, and “shoved two pills in Jane Doe’s mouth” upon her arrival. The complaint states Doe feared for her safety after witnessing Combs physically abuse other women. Combs has been accused in about a dozen civil lawsuits of alleged sexual misconduct and other illegal activity.

Despite Aurora becoming a regular talking point at his rallies, a Trump campaign spokesperson declined to specify when or if the former president would visit the city. But Aurora has some important differences: It has a much larger population and has long been diverse. There has been crime, but it’s not clear how much of it is gang-related or directly attributed to increased migration. “They’re going in with guns that are beyond even military scope and they’re taking over apartment buildings,” Trump said Wednesday in North Carolina. Resources in Denver have been stretched thin — and migrants have sought housing in neighboring Aurora, where rent is cheaper.

President Joe Biden welcomed the Gotham Football Club to the White House on Monday, the first National Women’s Soccer League championship team to have the distinction. Biden then welcomed to the stage former U.S. women's national soccer team star Ali Krieger, who played with Gotham until her retirement last year. "Reflecting on my career, I recall times when women's soccer lacked coverage and support," Krieger said. Kevin Dietsch / Getty ImagesThough Gotham FC is the first NSWL team to reach the White House, it is not the only women's soccer team to be invited. Two other now-defunct leagues have been formed in the U.S. since 2000— the Women's United Soccer Association and the Women's Professional Soccer league.

CNN —It was perhaps fitting that Shohei Ohtani should achieve one of baseball’s most remarkable feats with an out-of-this-world performance. But despite being kept away from the mound, Ohtani has had a phenomenal debut season with the Dodgers. Ohtani smacks his 50th home run of the season, and with it, earns the first 50/50 in MLB history. Megan Briggs/Getty ImagesEven without pitching this season, Ohtani is still the odds-on favorite to win the NL MVP award, potentially the first to do so having played solely as a designated hitter (DH). A betrayal off the fieldAll the while, Ohtani’s record-breaking season on the diamond has come against the backdrop of off-field challenges.

That surpassed the record of Democratic former President Barack Obama, who had secured the confirmation of 11 openly LGBTQ judges during his eight years in office. Only in the last three decades have presidents nominated openly gay people to the federal bench. Circuit Judge Alison Nathan joined the bench as a trial judge in Manhattan following her nomination by Obama. Circuit Judges Beth Robinson of the 2nd Circuit and Nicole Berner of the 4th U.S. The bulk of openly LGBTQ nominees have come from Democratic presidents, though Republican former President Donald Trump appointed two openly gay judges.

Reaching 40 home runs and 40 steals in a single season faster than any player was impressive enough. “I’ve seen him do some amazing things both pitching and hitting through the years but the way he’s doing this run of 50/50 is truly amazing.

☆ GLAAD finds overall decline in LGBTQ representation in major studio films
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-17 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +4 min

GLAAD, the LGBTQ media advocacy organization, has released its 12th annual Studio Responsibility Index tracking films released during 2023. Despite “a huge increase in LGBTQ characters who were front and center in their own narratives,” the study found the number of films with LGBTQ characters dropped in 2023. The survey looked at 256 films from 10 major distributors and their subsidiaries and streaming services. Those 70 films included 170 LGBTQ characters, of which 46% were characters of color, representing an increase of 6% from the 2022 study. If LGBTQ representation continues to decline in major releases, these companies will lose relevance with a crucial buying audience.

Pop star Demi Lovato is asking her fellow former child stars a tough question: Is the price of fame worth your childhood? In “Child Star,” which debuted Tuesday on Hulu, Lovato interviews fellow celebrities who grew up in the limelight about the highs and lows of fame at a young age. “Child Star” also promises an “intimate look” at child stardom.” Here’s what the actors said about how fame affected them. She also said the amount of work child actors get can depend on how “easy” children and their parents appear. They created a podcast called “Dear Hollywood” analyzing the effect of fame on child development.

☆ The Green Bay Packers are the one NFL team owned by its fans. Here's how it works
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-06 | by ( Jake Piazza | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Only one National Football League team has an ownership structure that resembles a publicly traded company. The Green Bay Packers, who are the 12th most-valuable NFL franchise at $6.3 billion, according to CNBC's Official 2024 NFL Team Valuations, are the only publicly owned team in the league. The franchise is completely owned by stockholders, many of them Packers fans, in a structure established more than 100 years ago. The share offerings throughout the years have been used to pull the team out of rocky financial situations and do larger renovations of Lambeau Field. The unique structure puts the Packers among the teams that newly approved private equity investors will be least interested in.

CNN —California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed into law a bill that bans the use of red dye No. Known as the California School Food Safety Act and introduced by Democratic Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel in February, Assembly Bill 2316 prohibits a school district, county superintendent of schools or charter school with grades kindergarten through 12th from offering foods or beverages containing red dye No. “California is once again leading the nation when it comes to protecting our kids from dangerous chemicals,” Gabriel said in a news release. “No industry is more committed to food safety than the consumer packaged goods industry. After the state banned brominated vegetable oil, used mostly in some sodas, as part of its California Food Safety Act in October 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration revoked the regulation for its use nine months later.

CNN —American F1 driver Logan Sargeant escaped unharmed after losing control of his car during practice at the Dutch Grand Prix Saturday, as it crashed into a wall, crumpled on impact and burst into flames. The Williams Racing driver vaulted out the smoking car and walked towards the side of the track, while the rest of the session was red flagged. Sargeant’s team confirmed that he was unharmed but that they were unable to repair his car in time for him to participate in qualifying. “The team will continue to repair and build his car in preparation for race day,” Williams Racing added in a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, went out in the second round and will start from 12th on the grid.

New York residency is especially important to Mr. Kennedy because his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, lists California as her home. Mr. Kennedy, 70, an environmental lawyer, spends most of his time at a home in Los Angeles that he shares with his wife, the actress Cheryl Hines. “New York has been his residence continuously since 1964, and Mr. Kennedy has deep ties to it,” Mr. Savino said in the statement. Mr. Kennedy revealed the bear-dumping in a video he posted on social media just before a critical New Yorker profile that included the same anecdote was published. After the bear story became public — resulting in a barrage of public criticism and mockery — Mr. Kennedy sought to fire back, placing a post on X.com on Tuesday, attacking the “mainstream media.”“The more you smear me,” Mr. Kennedy wrote, “the more I’ll keep speaking.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential campaign was dealt a blow on Monday when a judge ruled that his petition to appear on New York’s ballot was invalid, saying Mr. Kennedy had used a “sham” address to maintain his New York residency. The ruling, if it stands, would keep Mr. Kennedy off the ballot in a state where he lived for much of his adult life and could endanger his efforts to be placed on the ballot in dozens of other states. His lawyer, William F. Savino, said in an email that Mr. Kennedy had “always planned to appeal any adverse ruling.” Later Monday, the campaign said it would file a lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan. “The 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution governs the residency of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, not state law,” said the campaign’s senior counsel, Paul Rossi. “If state court judges are going to ignore the Constitution, the federal courts must step in to protect voters’ rights.”

No, it wasn’t a recreational golfer out for an early 18 holes; it was nine-time PGA Tour champion Matt Kuchar, the only golfer in the field at the Wyndham Championship who hadn’t finished the tournament on Sunday. Less than 12 hours earlier, Kuchar baffled onlookers when he marked his ball in the 18th rough and walked off the course. “Sorry that you guys had to come out this morning,” Kuchar said sheepishly. Kuchar said he thought Greyserman still had a chance to win the tournament and believed that his stopping would prompt Greyserman to follow suit. By finishing in a 10-way tie for 12th place, Kuchar was paid $134,695, nearly double what he would have been paid if he had bogeyed the final hole.

CNN —With two presidential candidates fighting over a mere 538 Electoral College votes, a tie scenario is more than possible. Those individual, competitive electoral votes in Maine and Nebraska become hugely consequential in potential tie scenarios. If there’s a 269-269 tie, or if a third party or independent candidate wins electoral votes and keeps a candidate from reaching an Electoral College majority of 270, the next step is the same. Has a contingent election happened in the years since the tied election of 1800? In 1876, when there was a contested outcome, the contingent election system was bypassed.

How Simone Biles Won the Olympic Women’s Gymnastics All-Around Gold1 USA Simone Biles 59.131 2 BRA Rebeca Andrade -1.199 points behind points behind 3 USA Sunisa Lee -2.666Simone Biles earned her sixth Olympic gold medal, and her ninth Olympic medal overall, in Paris on Thursday, clinching a win in the women’s gymnastics all-around final by more than a full point. The competition began with a commanding lead for Biles, who scored 15.766 for her namesake Yurchenko double pike, the hardest vault in the world. And Sunisa Lee, the defending Olympic all-around champion, trailed after the first three rotations but came back to win the bronze with a solid performance on floor.
