Livvy Dunne Gets $9.5 Million From NCAA NIL, Has Bigger Plans
Olivia “Livvy” Dunne, 21, a gymnast at Louisiana State University (LSU), has
made history as the highest-earning female college athlete, thanks to the
NCAA’s new “name, image, and likeness” (NIL) rules. Since the NIL
guidelines changed in 2021, Dunne has earned an estimated $9.5 million. Known
for her skill in gymnastics and her large social media presence, Dunne has
built a brand that reaches millions of followers.
Despite receiving her undergraduate degree in the spring, Dunne has chosen to
stay at LSU for one more year, aiming to help lead the Lady Tigers to
another
gymnastics title after winning the NCAA championship in 2023.
However,
her plans go beyond gymnastics, as she’s focused on building a long-lasting
brand. “I feel like [Sports Illustrated] is something that can last
beyond college,” Dunne said, referring to her debut in the 2023 edition of the
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

LPGA Star Charley Hull Just Got Permission To Smoke During The Solheim Cup
LPGA golfer Charley Hull,
who some fans might argue is already “smoking”, just got permission to burn a
few heaters during match play at the Solheim Cup. And if you know Charley, you
know that means she’s going to rip ’em like there’s no tomorrow. John
Daly must be shedding a little tear right now as we speak.
For
those not familiar with it, the Solheim Cup is the women’s equivalent of the
Ryder Cup. Europe has dominated of late. The United States hasn’t hoisted the
Cup since 2017.
Hull was initially banned from smoking during
tournament play
but now has permission
this weekend to rip darts while walking down the fairway. European team
captain Suzanne Pettersen said she’s perfectly fine with Hull smoking during
the Solheim Cup.

Leaked Contract: Is the Swift-Kelce Romance Just Another Hollywood
Production? Do I believe it? Not yet. Would I be shocked? No.
Rumors are swirling yet again in the world of celebrity romance, with Kansas
City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop icon Taylor Swift at the center of
it all. This time, it’s not their whirlwind romance that’s grabbing
headlines but a suspicious document that claims their relationship has an
expiration date—September 28, to be exact, as reported by
Fox News.
According to this so-called leaked contract from Full Scope PR, a Los
Angeles-based firm, the breakup is scheduled, and there’s even a detailed plan
for how to handle the media fallout. The document first surfaced on
Reddit, of all places, and quickly spread like wildfire across social media.
It claims to outline three key messaging points: “Respect and Privacy,”
“Professional Focus,” and “Personal Growth.”
Oh, and just in case
the breakup doesn’t go smoothly, the PR firm supposedly already has a
statement ready for major outlets: “Travis and Taylor have decided to part
ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other’s
personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time.” Of
course, this “statement” would be shared with all the usual suspects in the
media to ensure the story reaches far and wide.

‘Agatha All Along’ Star Claims Show Will Be A New Chapter for Marvel’s
‘Queer’ Representation: “I Do Think There’s A Lot of Queerness In Witches” Like we needed more.
According to Sasher Zamata, Disney+’s upcoming entry Agatha All Along will be
a new chapter in LGBT representation for Marvel. The star makes the connection
via witches and other communities historically finding themselves on the
outside of society throughout the centuries.
Whether that drive
will affect the quality of the show overall is anyone’s guess. Though this
wouldn’t be the first push for Marvel.

Heroic Female Police Sergeant Saved 49ers WR’s Life, Prayed Together
49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was critically injured during an
attempted robbery that escalated to violence on Saturday. Pearsall, who was
drafted in the first round by the 49ers this year, was shot in the chest by a
17-year-old suspect while walking back to his vehicle after shopping in the
city’s upscale Union Square area.
Sgt. Joelle Harrell of the San
Francisco Police Department, who was in proximity when the shooting occurred,
responded
immediately
upon hearing the gunshots.
In a recount to the
San Francisco Chronicle, Harrell described her swift actions to provide critical first aid to the
injured NFL player. Upon arriving at the scene, she found Pearsall shirtless
and bleeding profusely. She quickly used Pearsall’s shirt to press against the
wound on his chest and her cap to cover the exit wound on his back.

Demi Moore, 61, Says She Felt Pushed Out by Hollywood After She Turned 40
“I had done Charlie’s Angels, and there was a lot of conversation around this
scene in a bikini, and it was all very heightened, a lot of talk about how I
looked,” Moore said while speaking to the actress Michelle Yeoh in a
conversation for
Interview Magazine. Moore was 40 when she made Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, which came out
in 2003.
“And then I found that there didn’t seem to be a place for
me. I didn’t feel like I didn’t belong,” she continued. “It’s more like I felt
that feeling of, ‘I’m not 20, I’m not 30,’ but I wasn’t yet what they
perceived as a mother.”
At the time, Moore was actually a mother of
three daughters whom she shared with Bruce Willis. Moore went on to say
that her 40s were a time when she felt “not dead, but flat” in the industry.

WATCH — ‘Punk Move’: Tennis Star Yulia Putintseva Booed for Reaction to
Ball Girl at U.S. Open
Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva got negative reactions during and after an
awkward moment with a ball girl on Saturday at the U.S. Open. The
incident happened amid her third-round match against Italy’s Jasmine Paolini
when Putintseva exhibited a poor attitude toward the young woman as she was
losing in a second set, the New York Post
reported
on Monday.
Video footage
shows
the moment the ball girl holds up tennis balls for Putintseva who does not
react when the young woman tosses them at her. Moments later, the tennis
player catches a third ball and boos can be heard coming from the stands.
Social
media users were quick to react to the incident, with one person
calling
Putintseva “Entitled.” Another user
deemed
it a “Punk move” while someone else
said, “This is what happen when we live in a world where someone who just hits
a ball with a rack gets paid more the people who save lives everyday.”
Following
the backlash, Putintseva, who is Russian-born, issued an apology and
explained what happened, the Telegraph
reported
on Monday. In her social media post, she said
I want to
apologize to the ball girl for the way I was, when she was giving me balls.
Honestly speaking it was not about her. I was really p—– off at myself for
not winning the game from the breakpoint and then got empty with my emotions
and deep in my thoughts, that I was not even focusing on what’s going on and
who gives me the ball. All the ball kids was [sic] doing amazing as always
at the Open.
The Post article noted that “Paolini went on to win
in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4.” Putintseva
reportedly
has a “fiery history” on and off the tennis court, according to the Daily
Mail.
