Jake Moody llega a Commanders desde el equipo de práctica de Bears para reemplazar a Matt Gay

Por HOWARD FENDRICH El pateador Matt Gay fue liberado por los Commanders el lunes, un día después de fallar dos intentos de gol de campo en una derrota en tiempo extra 16-13 ante los Dolphins de Miami en España, y una persona con conocimiento de la situación le dijo a The Associated Press que Washington lo reemplazó al firmar a Jake Moody del equipo de práctica de los Bears de Chicago. La persona habló con la AP bajo condición de anonimato porque los Commanders no anunciaron la incorporación de Moody. La actual racha de seis derrotas al hilo de Washington comenzó con una derrota 25-24 contra Chicago el 13 de octubre que terminó con Moody haciendo un gol de campo de 38 yardas para los Bears en la última jugada. Ese fue el primer juego de Moody con Chicago después de que los 49ers de San Francisco lo cortaran por fallar dos patadas en la semana uno de esta temporada. Fue una selección de tercera ronda del draft por los 49ers en 2023 y jugó para ellos en un Super Bowl. El domingo, Gay envió desviado a la derecha un intento de 56 yardas en los últimos segundos del cuarto período que habría roto un empate 13-13 con Miami y, con toda probabilidad, le habría dado a Washington (3-8) una victoria muy necesaria. También falló un intento de 51 yardas más temprano en el juego. El entrenador Dan Quinn dijo en una videollamada con reporteros el lunes que él y el gerente general Adam Peters se reunieron con Gay para darle la noticia. Peters firmó a Gay con un contrato de 4,35 millones de dólares garantizados en abril. “Un tipo realmente bueno. Así que, sí, realmente, decepcionado de que no haya funcionado. Simplemente sentimos que este es el cambio que necesitábamos”, dijo Quinn sobre Gay. “Simplemente no estamos haciendo esas patadas; no solo las de ayer. Queremos ver el panorama general de las cosas”, dijo Quinn. “En esa posición, el rendimiento — tienes que tenerlo.” Washington está entrando en su semana de descanso y no jugará de nuevo hasta recibir a los Broncos de Denver (9-2) el 30 de noviembre. Gay hizo 13 de 19 intentos de gol de campo esta temporada, una tasa de precisión del 68,4% que fue peor que la de todos menos dos pateadores en la NFL. Los fallos del domingo hicieron que Gay tuviera cuatro de nueve en intentos de 50 yardas o más en una liga donde esa distancia es casi automática para muchos.

Jonathan Bailey Steps Out in a Monochromatic Turtleneck and Suit at N.Y.C. “Wicked: For Good” Premiere

Jonathan Bailey has arrived! On Monday, Nov. 17, the actor, 37, stepped out for the New York City premiere of Wicked: For Good in a monochromatic suit and turtleneck. The actor paired his modernized suit, with a curved hem, with a pair of loafers and a watch with a black wrist strap. Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The actor, who was crowned this year's PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, has been on a style streak and recently served up a dapper look at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles. On Sunday, Nov. 16, Bailey appeared on the star-studded red carpet in a sleek, all-black look — accented with a pop of "Glinda" pink. He wore a black suit jacket and slim-fitting black pants, paired with a pale pink shirt. At the London premiere of Wicked: For Good, the star, who plays Fiyero in the movie musical, opted for a slouchy gray suit and a coat decorated with a lapel honoring the U.K. holiday Remembrance Day. In his SMA interview with PEOPLE, Bailey opened up about his journey to finding confidence. "At various moments in my life, I’ve been like, 'I’ve got this,' which is sometimes met by a deep spike of fear and self-doubt," he said. "When I was really young, I was very confident about who I was, and maybe I lost that as I grew up. We’re all sort of trying to get back to the origin, aren’t we? But I was swimming in the sea about an hour ago with a good gang, and I felt all right in my skin." The actor, who rose to fame thanks to his roles in Bridgerton, Jurassic World: Rebirth and the Showtime series Fellow Travelers, also reflected on his career. “You get to a point where you look back and you go, ‘Wow,’ but you never for a second think that’s where you’re headed,” he told PEOPLE. “You know, to be able to do things that you dream of.”

Sharks’ Warsofsky explains what he needs to see from struggling Klingberg

Sharks’ Warsofsky explains what he needs to see from struggling Klingberg

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks have rotated several of their defensemen in and out of the lineup all season long, and now it appears that veteran John Klingberg – after a rough few games – will become the latest blueliner to take a seat. Coming off back-to-back losses, the Sharks once again appear set to shake up their crowded defense corps, and indications were that Klingberg would be a healthy scratch for the first time this season on Tuesday when San Jose hosts the Utah Mammoth. Klingberg’s play has been inconsistent at best in recent games, as he was a combined -4 with two giveaways in Sharks losses to the Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken last week that wrapped up a 1-2-0 road trip. Klingberg has also run the point on the Sharks’ first power play unit, with the team mired in a 3-for-32 slump with the man advantage over the last 11 games. “I think it’s pretty clear,” Klingberg said of the message he received from the Sharks’ coaching staff. “It’s up to me to play (well).” Klingberg, now in his 12th NHL season, was signed to a one-year, $3 million contract on July 1, partly to bolster a Sharks power play that finished 26th in the NHL last season at 18.6%. In 657 career NHL games, Klingberg has 23 goals and 140 assists with the man advantage. Klingberg has five points, including two power-play goals, in 13 games this season, and is averaging 21:04 in ice time. But in Monday’s practice, Klingberg watched as Dmitry Orlov ran the point on the first power play unit with rookie defenseman Sam Dickinson on the second. When Klingberg was out of the lineup from Oct. 17-26, the Sharks’ power play, with Orlov at the helm, went 6-for-19 in six games. While other factors have been at play this season, the Sharks, after 19 games, are now 19th in the NHL on the power play, with an 18.8% success rate. “I wouldn’t really say it’s totally the power play,” Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said when asked about Klingberg. “I think there’s better hockey in him 5-on-5, and we’re going to keep getting to it, and (we have) a lot of defensemen. So, there’ll be some changes.” “I think just have a little bit better puck play,” Klingberg said of his own game. “Be more consistent with the puck.” Saturday, on Seattle’s first goal, which came at even strength, Orlov got caught in the neutral zone as Chandler Stephenson poked the puck ahead to himself. He then got around Klingberg inside the blue line and sent a pass across the slot to Jaden Schwartz, who got behind Macklin Celebrini and guided the puck into the net behind goalie Alex Nedeljkovic. The Sharks were the better team for large portions of Saturday’s game, but that miscue and another by Shakir Mukhamadullin proved to be too much for them to overcome. “It happens fast,” Klingberg said of the play. “It’s a little bit of a breakdown on our 1-1-3 (system), so I have to go out towards the boards. But at the same time, I can’t let (Stephenson) go behind me.” Klingberg‘s lower-body injury that forced him out of the lineup for close to two weeks last month, but said Monday he feels fine physically, and indicated previously that his health issues had nothing to do with the double hip resurfacing surgery he had in Dec. 2023. It’s just a matter of playing better within the Sharks’ structure. “I think with (Klingberg), there’s a process of where we need to get him to play the way we want to play,” Warsofsky said. “It’s new to him, which I understand, and in the systems and whatnot. Then, obviously, coming back from the health issues. “With what type of defenseman he is, there’s a risk and reward, and a lot of teams have those types of players. But you have to get the reward, and we really haven’t got a lot of that. Will we get that at some point? I think we will. I think he’s got the ability. We’ve seen that in his career, but we need him to kind of just have a little bit of a reset here.” It also appears that Timothy Liljegren will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, with Dickinson re-entering the lineup, as the Sharks try to keep everyone fresh. “We want to keep guys in the mix here a little bit, not let guys sit out for a while,” Warsofsky said. “We’ll see what (Tuesday) brings, but I know (Klingberg) knows he can play better, as we do.” “It’s the same for everyone,” Klingberg said of being a scratch. “You play your best team. If this is what they want to do, I’m still part of the team. I’m going to work my butt off to get back to the lineup and help this team win. That’s just how it works.”

Golden Knights face Rangers, hoping to end four-game home skid

The Vegas Golden Knights will try to snap a four-game home losing streak on Tuesday night when they host one of the NHL's top road teams, the New York Rangers, in Las Vegas. Vegas, in fourth place in a tightly bunched Pacific Division, won just four of its first 10 home games (4-3-3) and is 1-3-2 in its last six outings at T-Mobile Arena. The Golden Knights will be facing a New York team that entered Monday's action tied with the Los Angeles Kings for the most road wins (nine) in the league. The Rangers have won six straight road games and possess an impressive plus-16 road goal differential. Vegas picked up three of a possible four points in a weekend road back-to-back that started with a 4-1 victory at the St. Louis Blues on Saturday and ended with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Sunday. The Golden Knights rallied to tie the Wild in the third period on a power-play goal by Reilly Smith but couldn't earn the extra point in overtime. Kirill Kaprizov scored the game-winner on a power play with just 10 seconds remaining. "It was a tight game," Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. "The way it ended for us leaves a sour taste in your mouth but there's parts of the game we played really well ... and there's parts where we needed to find more offense. Five-on-five, we weren't able to do it, so we'll look at that." Both Vegas goals came on power plays. The first, by Pavel Dorofeyev late in the first period, tied the game 1-1 and was assisted by Mitch Marner. It was the 20th point of the season (four goals, 16 assists) in just 18 games for Marner, the fastest player in franchise history to accomplish that feat. Like Vegas, New York has struggled on its home ice, going 1-7-1, including a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Mika Zibanejad scored a power-play goal -- the Rangers' fourth in a four-game span -- to tie it, but Detroit's Lucas Raymond, alone in the slot, scored the game-winner with 3:47 remaining in the third period. The loss, which snapped a three-game win streak for New York, overshadowed a brilliant performance by goaltender Jonathan Quick, who stopped 40 of 42 shots. "Obviously, Quickie was unbelievable tonight," Rangers assistant coach David Quinn said. "It looked like he might be able to steal a point there as the game was evolving, and we just weren't able to get it done." Quinn and fellow assistant Joe Sacco split head coaching duties after it was announced head coach Mike Sullivan would miss the game for personal reasons. It is not known when Sullivan will rejoin the team. Quick, who went 5-2-2 in 10 appearances during the Golden Knights' 2022-23 Stanley Cup season, went after Detroit center Mason Appleton after the game ended, causing a minor fracas between both teams at center ice. Quick was upset that Appleton fired a puck into the Rangers' empty net shortly after the final horn. "The horn goes, a couple seconds (pass), (Appleton) shoots it in the net," Quick said. "I don't know why they were surprised." New York is 6-6-2 all-time against the Golden Knights and won the last two meetings.

Letters: Turning Point fracas at Cal bodes ill for free speech

Letters: Turning Point fracas at Cal bodes ill for free speech

Cal Turning Point fracas is bad for free speech Re: “Cal serves up red meat for Turning Point” (Page A8, Nov. 16). The writer argues that Turning Point U.S.A. showed up at Cal Berkeley, not just to debate, but to bait protesters into acting. The protesters should have understood what Turning Point was up to and remained entirely peaceful. I think this portends much more than that. Cal is home to the Free Speech Movement, and its students generally hold the conservative views of Turning Point in disdain. But its very bright students, who are supposed to hold free speech in such high esteem, made a choice to ignore that right and impose a heckler’s veto because of their inability to tolerate a conservative point of view. If these intelligent people are able to abandon their core beliefs because they dislike conservatives speaking their minds, how much chance does free speech have in our society? Daniel Mauthe Clean air is costly but worth it Re: “Newsom gas crusade flips to keeping refineries open” (Page A8, Nov. 16). In his column, Dan Walters says California’s high gasoline prices are caused by taxes and fees and the “mystery charge.” Most of the cause is really our clean air. Growing up in SoCal, I choked on car smog. Now, even with tremendously more cars, there’s tremendously less smog. Cleaner gas is why. The mystery charge is not a mystery. Indeed, the charge exists, and it’s big. Walters says it’s 41¢ a gallon, and it cost us $59 billion between 2015 and 2024. However, the report he mentions, and gets those figures from, is from California’s Division of Petroleum Market Oversight, and they attribute the charge to “higher gross gasoline industry margins.” No mystery, and no surprise either. We pay a lot for gas, and we know why. Doug McKenzie Bay Farm safety at stake with redevelopment I am concerned about the Harbor Bay Landing Redevelopment plan. I have lived in Bay Farm for over 40 years and have witnessed its growth and challenges. True Life Companies wants to build 305 units at Harbor Bay Landing Shopping Center. The city of Alameda will get additional funding from property sales and meet the SB 79 requirements of the state. However, it will destroy the existing city planning. Demolishing the only grocery store and pharmacy will turn Bay Farm into a food and pharmacy desert. This is a nightmare for seniors who do not own a car or who are not computer-literate. Bay Farm Island has a population of 13,359, and the redevelopment will worsen transportation problems and further jeopardize safety. Traffic congestion is a significant problem. If there is flash flooding from thunderstorms, fires or tsunamis, the citizens will be doomed due to poor traffic. Don’t think Trump won’t try for third term If you think Donald Trump can’t be president after 2028, think again. How about this scenario: The MAGA party nominates J.D. Vance for president in 2028. J.D. selects Trump as his VP. They win the election and are sworn in on Jan. 20. The next day, J.D. resigns and Trump becomes president. Voila! Trump is president without having been elected. And it’s all perfectly legal. If you think the MAGA party isn’t corrupt enough to allow this, wake up. They are. Mike Krausnick Demand that reps speak out on maritime killings Re: “U.S. strikes another alleged drug boat, killing two” (Page A4, Oct. 23). Among the tidal wave of illegal and unethical actions being taken by our current administration, the murder of more than 80 foreign nationals by the U.S. military is one that damages America’s standing in the world. Our armed forces have long-established tactics for interdicting drug runners, which include arrest and confiscation of drugs. However, just like the legal sleight of hand used to justify the torture and abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib Prison during the Gulf War, the legal justifications being presented for executing these boat crews are flimsy at best, according to legal experts quoted in the New York Times. With the Supreme Court granting Trump immunity while in office, these killings are just one more spectacle he and his inner circle delight in. Where is the outrage? Please write to your elected leaders and urge them to publicly speak out to oppose these unnecessary and immoral executions. Keith Hatschek Budget threatens state of U.S. health care Re: “Health care cuts will push ERs to the brink” (Page A7, Oct. 21). This retired RN would like to thank Dr. Eric Snoey for his excellent opinion piece on what the state of health care will be like in this country with the upcoming proposed federal cuts to health care. He got it exactly right. It will be a nightmare. Peggy Moyers

The talks for International Men’s Day (IMD) have been going on since at least the 1960’s when it was reported in the New York Times that many men were agitating privately to make February 23 International Men’s Day. Since the 1960’s there have been persistent international calls for the creation of an IMD. The Australians also ceased to observe the event again until November 19, 2003, only the Maltese Association for Men’s Rights continued to observe the event each year in February. As the single remaining country still observing the earlier February celebration, the Maltese AMR Committee voted in 2009 to shift the date of their observation to November 19 at the request of Australian International Men's Day organisors.

The petty criminals doing Putin’s dirty work – and causing chaos across Europe

The petty criminals doing Putin’s dirty work – and causing chaos across Europe

Poland felt the impact of this kind of criminal damage on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk called it out as sabotage. Authorities revealed an explosion on a railway line south of Warsaw that was used for deliveries to Ukraine. Nobody was killed, but the destruction could have been lethal. The Polish Security Services Minister, Tomasz Siemoniak, said there was a “very high” chance the damage was done on the orders of a foreign spy service: “We are dealing with the services of a foreign state, and not a gang of scrap metal thieves.” Petty criminals in Germany, Poland and Britain are also being jailed for helping Russian spy agencies and their ultimate controller, Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer in East Germany. The crimes range from vandalism to arson and attempted assassination. The pattern will be familiar to Australians after security agencies named Iran as the instigator of antisemitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne over the past year, again, using low-level criminals. In Europe, however, the prosecutions are overwhelmingly about Russian influence.

Megyn Kelly’s defence of Epstein is a new low for MAGA supporters

Amid the lies, bombast and bias that is US media in the time of Trump, there isn’t much that shocks me any more. Well, there wasn’t, until I caught up with US right-wing commentator Megyn Kelly’s recent comments on paedophilia. I know I should expect this popular former Fox News reporter to toe the MAGA line like the others of her ilk. However, this time it’s too much. I still can’t believe what I’m hearing – from a woman no less. Following the US’ house oversight committee releasing more than 20,000 emails sent to and from deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein this week, Kelly couldn’t shut up. And she should have. It started with this gem on her YouTube show: “He was into the barely legal type,” Kelly said of Epstein as some sort of qualifier. “Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realise this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I’m just giving you facts, that he wasn’t into, like, eight-year-olds.”

Anthony Scaramucci says everyone in Trump’s orbit hates him

Anthony Scaramucci says everyone in Trump’s orbit hates him

“He probably made me infamous more than famous, but I think weirdly, he gave me a platform to speak out against him,” he says. Ever the savvy entrepreneur, Scaramucci has made the most of that platform. He’s the co-host of The Rest is Politics: US, an American spin-off of the hugely popular British original. Scaramucci thought it would take an hour of his time for a couple of months before last year’s presidential election. Instead, he’s doing about 20 hours a week on the show, which is still going strong. “I think Trump sucks for everything, but he’s great for the podcast,” he tells me. “If [Kamala] Harris won, would the podcast be as popular? Probably not.” My French toast arrives, fluffy and dusted in brown sugar. The Mooch resumes his roasting, and demands the waiter summon a side of butter because “I want him to be in a diabetic coma by the time the interview’s over”. The week before we meet has been another aeon in American politics. The longest government shutdown in US political history ended. More documents concerning the affairs of deceased paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were released. And in Scaramucci’s hometown, 34-year-old Muslim democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani claimed a stunning victory in the New York City mayoral race, sending shock waves through a geriatric, painfully timid Democratic establishment. Mamdani wasn’t Scaramucci’s first pick, but he understands his allure to younger New Yorkers frustrated by escalating housing costs and uninspired by the city’s current leadership. “The Mamdani election is a message from the younger generation. You guys suck, and we would like to try something different,” Scaramucci says. And while the mayor-elect’s populist tax and spend program triggered plenty of bed-wetting about billionaires fleeing the Upper East Side for the likes of West Palm Beach, Scaramucci says the idea that Wall Street will abandon Wall Street is all a bit of bluster. “J.P. Morgan just built a $2.7 billion corporate office. Where are they going? They’re not going anywhere. I’m not going anywhere,” he says. Mamdani (who is Ugandan-born and cannot run for president) might be the future in New York, but on the national stage, Scaramucci likes California Governor Gavin Newsom as a top Democratic hopeful for the 2028 presidential race. He describes former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg as exceptionally talented, but worries that the openly gay politician’s sexuality will hurt him in the African American community. “That polling is near zero and again,” he says. Will there even be a new president in 2028? Despite Trump’s constant musing about disregarding the Constitution and seeking a third term, and Congress being, in the Mooch’s words “a bunch of weenies and jellyfishes”, Scaramucci isn’t giving up on American democracy. “Go through the 250-year history of America – we have spasms of self-doubt, then we have reflection, and then we have renewal,” he says. Before that, America must endure another three years under an increasingly erratic president. And a vengeful one. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has used the Department of Justice to settle old political scores, with former FBI director James Comey, and New York Attorney-General Letitia James both facing criminal indictments brought against them by prosecutors hand-picked by the president. Does the Mooch fear becoming a target? “I mean, if he’s going to come after me, let him come after me. I’m a big boy,” he says. “But hopefully you and I will build a good rapport. You’ll come visit me in jail.” Start the day with a summary of the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights. Sign up for our Morning Edition newsletter.

'True heroes': Brothers rescue cop from cruiser engulfed in flames — and credit their mother, who taught them the Golden Rule

'True heroes': Brothers rescue cop from cruiser engulfed in flames — and credit their mother, who taught them the Golden Rule

Atlanta police last week shared a video report they said demonstrates that "in moments of crisis, true heroes emerge." On the night of Oct. 21, Officer Malik Safi was responding to a call for backup — but he never arrived at the scene, officials said. 'I feel extremely proud of them both. I feel like they did exactly what they were taught to do — to help and have empathy for other people.' Instead, Safi crashed into a house, setting both the residence and his patrol vehicle on fire, officials said. WSB-TV reported that Safi also suffered serious injuries in the crash and was trapped inside the vehicle. But fortunately brothers Keshun Robinson and Ryan Beck — and others — were around to help. In fact, they braved the flames and pulled Safi out of his burning cruiser and to safety. That heroic action is captured, in part, on Safi's body-worn camera. “We just went off our heart,” Beck later said. “[It’s] how we was raised, you know. We didn't want to see nobody suffer in that type of situation. We just hopped out and sprung into action." Robinson added, “We just tried to comfort [the officer] and let him know that he wasn’t there by himself." But the danger wasn't over. Soon gunshots were ringing out — and Robinson said "one of [the officer's] guns that was in the car actually started going off." With that, police said the group had to move Safi yet again, this time pulling him all the way to a sidewalk. RELATED: Hero cousins — just 9 and 11 — step up in a big way when they notice trouble at their favorite ice cream shop What's more, an unknown woman seen and heard on Safi's bodycam video got on police radio and told dispatch he needed help. WSB said the officer was taken to a hospital, and police noted that the "bravery and selflessness" of the two brothers and the other Good Samaritans "saved Officer Safi’s life." Later Beck noted to police that his mother raised him and his brother to live by the Golden Rule: "Treat people how you want to be treated." Their mother, Keziah Reed, also appeared in the police department's video report and said, "I feel extremely proud of them both. I feel like they did exactly what they were taught to do — to help and have empathy for other people." Robinson added that perhaps the best part of the experience was when his own son called him a hero. "It means the world to me. It lit up my day. It made me a proud human being — not even [as] a father — just a proud person." Police noted that "these residents remind us that community truly means neighbors looking out for one another when it matters most. From all of us at the Atlanta Police Department, thank you for your extraordinary courage." Like Blaze News?

Ariana Grande and a Hoarse Cynthia Erivo Walk in Solidarity at Final “Wicked: For Good” Premiere: 'Only So Much the Human Body Can Endure'

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are celebrating their final time premiering Wicked in New York City — for good! At the Monday, Nov. 17 premiere of Wicked: For Good (in theaters Friday), the two actresses appeared on the red carpet together and alongside director Jon M. Chu and costars Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater and more. Grande, 32, and Erivo, 38, posed for photos together and skipped most press interviews. Earlier today, Universal Pictures confirmed to PEOPLE that Erivo had lost her voice and she and Grande, who regularly do press together, would not be doing red carpet interviews. "Unfortunately, Cynthia is not feeling well and has lost her voice, therefore she and Ariana will not be doing interviews this evening," read a statement from the studio. Holding hands, the two made at least one stop together on the red carpet. “I'm not letting her speak. She has to rest her voice!" Grande explained while speaking to host Justin Sylvester on the premiere's livestream, arm-in-arm with a smiling Erivo. "It's so full circle to be in New York City where the Gershwin [Theatre] is, where Wicked is and to be celebrating tonight together." A hoarse Erivo chimed in to echo her: "It's really beautiful that we're finishing here, where it started." Grande served as her costar's hype woman, name-checking Erivo's Grammy-nominated solo album and new book Simply More, "coming soon! Two days. Am I doing OK?" she asked Erivo, who laughed and nodded. "She's throat-coating, we're nourishing the throat," concluded Grande, apologizing to viewers. "Thank you for understanding. There's only so much the human body can endure."

Promotion for the second of two Wicked movies, which have adapted Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz’s ongoing Broadway musical for the big screen, has not been without incident. Earlier this month, Grande was forced to miss the Wicked: For Good Brazil premiere due to plane safety issues. The Grammy winner was also charged by a man on the red carpet of the movie’s Singapore premiere; he was then sentenced to 9 days in jail. Erivo, who quickly stepped in to protect Grande during the viral incident on the Singapore red carpet, said that the Wicked team “have come through some s---” while at a Sunday, Nov. 16 Los Angeles screening of For Good, per Variety. “I mean, f---, even this last week, let’s be honest.” She and Grande play Elphaba a.k.a. Oz’s Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, respectively, in the two Wicked movies. The second installment picks up after the events of 2024’s Wicked: Part One, following the characters as their destinies overlap with Dorothy Gale’s in The Wizard of Oz. The two Oscar-nominated actresses have remained close throughout the press tours for both Wicked movies. In an Instagram post on Nov. 1, Grande shared a photo of herself and Erivo showing off matching "For Good" tattoos inked on their palms. “It was one of the most beautiful friendships to watch grow,” Chu, 46, told PEOPLE exclusively in October of his leading ladies. “They could have hated each other," the filmmaker added. "There could have been insane divaship, but they always put Wicked bigger than themselves, and I think that's a great sign of a great artist that they could immerse themselves in Elphaba and Galinda and they could find themselves within these characters." Wicked: For Good is in theaters Friday, Nov. 21. Go behind the scenes of the sequel with PEOPLE’s new special issue, available here.

Las esperanzas de playoffs de los Chiefs peligran tras otra derrota de último minuto ante Denver

Por DAVE SKRETTA KANSAS CITY, Missouri, EE.UU. (AP) — Andy Reid intentó asumir la culpa por la última derrota de los Chiefs de Kansas City en Denver el domingo. Patrick Mahomes trató de hacer lo mismo. No hay necesidad de pelear por ello: había suficiente culpa para repartir. Ahora, los Chiefs tienen un récord de 5-5 con siete juegos por jugar en la temporada regular, a tres y medio detrás de los Broncos en la División Oeste de la AFC y habiendo perdido los desempates directos tanto contra Denver como contra los Chargers en la carrera divisional. Su racha de nueve títulos consecutivos de la AFC Oeste parece haber terminado. Y si Kansas City no logra encarrilarse pronto, también podría terminar su racha de una década de apariciones en los playoffs, que precede a los días de Mahomes como quarterback titular por tres años completos. “Obviamente va a ser difícil volver a la carrera divisional”, dijo Mahomes después de la derrota 22-19 el domingo, la última de una serie de decepciones de último minuto. “Todo lo que puedes hacer es enfocarte en la próxima semana. Tenemos que aprender de esta lo más posible.” Los Chiefs batallaron en zona roja, con uno de cuatro contra Denver. Convirtieron cinco de 13 ocasiones en tercera oportunidad y fallaron en su único intento en cuarto down. Mahomes lanzó una intercepción costosa y fue capturado detrás de la línea tres veces, Harrison Butker tuvo un punto extra bloqueado y los Chiefs permitieron un par de devoluciones de despeje enormes. Y cuando la defensiva necesitaba detener, los Broncos en su lugar avanzaron para el gol de campo ganador. “Hubo decepción anoche. Lucharon con todo su corazón. Pero cometimos demasiados errores”, dijo Reid el lunes. “Estos muchachos normalmente asumen la responsabilidad de ese tipo de cosas. Tengo una buena idea de lo que los muchachos están pensando inmediatamente después de un juego, y estos muchachos son responsables de sus acciones. No señalan con el dedo ni cosas así. Eso nos va a ayudar a salir adelante.” Mejor que lo hagan rápido. Los Colts, que con 8-2 lideran la AFC Sur, están programados para jugar en el Arrowhead Stadium el domingo. Esa es usualmente la posición en la que están los Chiefs en esta época del año, liderando su división mientras todos los demás los persiguen. Pero en gran medida el mismo grupo de jugadores que una vez ganó un récord de la NFL de 17 juegos consecutivos por una sola anotación ha perdido cinco de ellos esta temporada, y el resultado es el peor récord en diez juegos desde que Kansas City comenzó 5-5 con Alex Smith durante la temporada 2015. Está funcionando Travis Kelce tuvo su mejor juego de la temporada el domingo, atrapando nueve pases para 91 yardas y un touchdown. El ala cerrada de Pro Bowl perenne ha estado callado la mayor parte de la temporada, y puede que esté despertando justo cuando los Chiefs más lo necesitan. Necesita ayuda Los Chiefs necesitan encontrar su instinto asesino nuevamente. En las derrotas contra los Chargers y Eagles, no pudieron recuperar el balón en los minutos finales para tener una oportunidad de ganar el juego. En las derrotas contra los Jaguars y Broncos, no pudieron evitar una anotación de ventaja cuando era demasiado tarde para superarla. Esos son el tipo de juegos que Kansas City ha ganado en años anteriores. Deportes en español AP: https://apnews.com/hub/deportes

Football Coach Arrested on Accusations of Filming Children in the Showers

A Texas middle school teacher and football coach is facing eight federal counts of sexually exploiting children by producing child pornography. Caleb Elliott, who worked as a sixth-grade social studies teacher and football coach at Celina Independent School District's Moore Middle School in Celina, Texas, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday, Nov. 12, according to court records viewed by PEOPLE. Elliott, 26, is charged with coercing the eight victims "to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct, using the internet and digital devices he owned and possessed," the indictment alleges. The charges allege that between April 8 and Oct. 2, Elliott “did employ, use, persuade, induce, entice, and coerce any minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depiction of such conduct, knowing ... that such visual depiction would be transported and transmitted," according to the court documents. In addition to the eight federal counts, Elliott is named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit filed by multiple families against the Celina Independent School District. The suit alleges that in one incident, "Elliott took aside minor plaintiff John Doe and confiscated his backpack, telling Doe that he had to do jumping jacks fully nude as punishment to get it back," according to the complaint. "Our lawsuit was filed very shortly after Caleb Elliot was arrested on behalf of three families that had been victimized by his locker room recording of their young boys," attorney Paul Herz tells PEOPLE. "Since then, that lawsuit has grown to about a dozen families." "We've learned a lot just in the short time the lawsuit has been around, that this involves boys of varying ages, as young as 12 and as old as 15," Herz added. Herz is representing a group of families in a civil lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages against Celina ISD. PEOPLE reached out to an attorney for Elliott for comment. "We hope to really accomplish a lot in uncovering the truth for these families, and that's what they've told me is my prime directive, not to recover money, not to get them big settlement checks, but to fact find," Herz said of the case's discovery phase. The federal indictment comes after Elliott was arrested on Nov. 7, according to Collin County Jail records. Elliott was arrested on suspicion of "sexual performance of a child, employ induce/authorize," and is being held on a $350,000 bond. He was initially arrested in October and was later released prior to the most recent allegations. On Oct. 27, he permanently surrendered his teaching certificate, according to Texas Education Agency records viewed by PEOPLE. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

The civil lawsuit alleges that Elliott had a relationship with a student while he taught and coached at Celina High School during the 2022-2023 school year. It further alleges that Elliott was "quietly" transferred within the district to Moore Middle School after the district was made aware of the alleged abuse. Herz alleges that Elliott continued the relationship once the individual turned 18 years old — and that the individual later obtained employment at the same school. The individual, who has not been identified at this time, is not pursuing legal action in the civil lawsuit against Elliott at this time. If convicted, Elliott faces a penalty of 30 years in prison per count. PEOPLE has reached out to Celina ISD, the TEA, and DFPS for comment.

Future data centers are driving up forecasts for energy demand. States want proof they’ll get built

By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The forecasts are eye-popping: utilities saying they’ll need two or three times more electricity within a few years to power massive new data centers that are feeding a fast-growing AI economy. But the challenges — some say the impossibility — of building new power plants to meet that demand so quickly has set off alarm bells for lawmakers, policymakers and regulators who wonder if those utility forecasts can be trusted. One burning question is whether the forecasts are based on data center projects that may never get built — eliciting concern that regular ratepayers could be stuck with the bill to build unnecessary power plants and grid infrastructure at a cost of billions of dollars. The scrutiny comes as analysts warn of the risk of an artificial intelligence investment bubble that’s ballooned tech stock prices and could burst. Meanwhile, consumer advocates are finding that ratepayers in some areas — such as the mid-Atlantic electricity grid, which encompasses all or parts of 13 states stretching from New Jersey to Illinois, as well as Washington, D.C. — are already underwriting the cost to supply power to data centers, some of them built, some not. “There’s speculation in there,” said Joe Bowring, who heads Monitoring Analytics, the independent market watchdog in the mid-Atlantic grid territory. “Nobody really knows. Nobody has been looking carefully enough at the forecast to know what’s speculative, what’s double-counting, what’s real, what’s not.” Suspicions about skyrocketing demand There is no standard practice across grids or for utilities to vet such massive projects, and figuring out a solution has become a hot topic, utilities and grid operators say. Uncertainty around forecasts is typically traced to a couple of things. One concerns developers seeking a grid connection, but whose plans aren’t set in stone or lack the heft — clients, financing or otherwise — to bring the project to completion, industry and regulatory officials say. Another is data center developers submitting grid connection requests in various separate utility territories, PJM Interconnection, which operates the mid-Atlantic grid, and Texas lawmakers have found. Often, developers, for competitive reasons, won’t tell utilities if or where they’ve submitted other requests for electricity, PJM said. That means a single project could inflate the energy forecasts of multiple utilities. The effort to improve forecasts got a high-profile boost in September, when a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission member asked the nation’s grid operators for information on how they determine that a project is not only viable, but will use the electricity it says it needs. “Better data, better decision-making, better and faster decisions mean we can get all these projects, all this infrastructure built,” the commissioner, David Rosner, said in an interview. The Edison Electric Institute, a trade association of for-profit electric utilities, said it welcomed efforts to improve demand forecasting. Real, speculative, or ‘somewhere in between’ The Data Center Coalition, which represents tech giants like Google and Meta and data center developers, has urged regulators to request more information from utilities on their forecasts and to develop a set of best practices to determine the commercial viability of a data center project. The coalition’s vice president of energy, Aaron Tinjum, said improving the accuracy and transparency of forecasts is a “fundamental first step of really meeting this moment” of energy growth. “Wherever we go, the question is, ‘Is the (energy) growth real? How can we be so sure?’” Tinjum said. “And we really view commercial readiness verification as one of those important kind of low-hanging opportunities for us to be adopting at this moment.” Igal Feibush, the CEO of Pennsylvania Data Center Partners, a data center developer, said utilities are in a “fire drill” as they try to vet a deluge of data center projects all seeking electricity. The vast majority, he said, will fall off because many project backers are new to the concept and don’t know what it takes to get a data center built. States also are trying to do more to find out what’s in utility forecasts and weed out speculative or duplicative projects. In Texas, which is attracting large data center projects, lawmakers still haunted by a blackout during a deadly 2021 winter storm were shocked when told in 2024 by the grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, that its peak demand could nearly double by 2030. They found that state utility regulators lacked the tools to determine whether that was realistic. Texas state Sen. Phil King told a hearing earlier this year that the grid operator, utility regulators and utilities weren’t sure if the power requests “are real or just speculative or somewhere in between.” Lawmakers passed legislation sponsored by King, now law, that requires data center developers to disclose whether they have requests for electricity elsewhere in Texas and to set standards for developers to show that they have a substantial financial commitment to a site. Electricity bills are rising, too PPL Electric Utilities, which delivers power to 1.5 million customers across central and eastern Pennsylvania, projects that data centers will more than triple its peak electricity demand by 2030. Vincent Sorgi, president and CEO of PPL Corp., told analysts on an earnings call this month that the data center projects “are real, they are coming fast and furious” and that the “near-term risk of overbuilding generation simply does not exist.” The data center projects counted in the forecast are backed by contracts with financial commitments often reaching tens of millions of dollars, PPL said. Still, PPL’s projections helped spur a state lawmaker, Rep. Danilo Burgos, to introduce a bill to bolster the authority of state utility regulators to inspect how utilities assemble their energy demand forecasts. Ratepayers in Burgos’ Philadelphia district just absorbed an increase in their electricity bills — attributed by the utility, PECO, to the rising cost of wholesale electricity in the mid-Atlantic grid driven primarily by data center demand. That’s why ratepayers need more protection to ensure they are benefiting from the higher cost, Burgos said. “Once they make their buck, whatever company,” Burgos said, “you don’t see no empathy towards the ratepayers.” Follow Marc Levy at http://twitter.com/timelywriter.

Trump 'looks like his goose is cooked' on Epstein files: former Republican congressman

One former Republican member of Congress believes President Donald Trump's recent about-face on the Department of Justice's unreleased Jeffrey Epstein documents is a sign that he sees his defeat on the horizon — and that he's already strategizing to wriggle out of his jam. During a Monday interview with journalist Jim Acosta on his Substack show, former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) said he felt that Trump's sudden reversal from opposing the release of the Epstein files to encouraging Congress to pass Rep. Thomas Massie's (R-Ky.) discharge petition signaled something "sinister." Acosta opined that Trump "looks like he's completely lost it" and was "spiraling." Walsh agreed. "This is a man who looks like his goose his cooked," Walsh said. "Coming from MAGA like I do, he can lie about the 2020 election, they'll buy it. He can lie about Haitian migrants eating cats and dogs, they'll buy it," Walsh continued. "But he and JD Vance and all of my former buddies out in the right wing media world, for years they promised the base all the goods. And this one, he can't escape." "It's highly likely theres ugly, ugly, ugly s—— about him in there," he added. The former Illinois Republican (who officially registered as a Democrat earlier this year) acknowledged arguments that Trump was simply attempting to save face given that Republicans seem determined to overwhelmingly sign the Epstein petition. However, he observed that Americans shouldn't put it past the Trump DOJ to lend him an assist by providing cover to keep the files under wraps. "I can't tell you that Pam Bondi hasn't scrubbed or shredded any evidence of anything," Walsh said, before adding that Trump's ordering of Epstein-related investigations against top Democrats and Democratic donors signaled something potentially more ominous. "The scarier thing is what Trump did last week: Ordering Pam Bondi — she's not the attorney general, she's Trump's lawyer — ordering Pam Bondi to start another Epstein investigation. I have no doubt that he did that, they did that, to protect himself," Walsh said. "Because if it ever gets to the point where Trump might have to sign the release, Pam Bondi is gonna get in front of the cameras, Jim, and say, I can't release anything. There's an ongoing active investigation.'" Click here to watch the full episode.
