The Duchess of Sussex’s latest filing in her case against U.K. tabloid the Mail on Sunday attacks the Kensington Palace (KP) press team for a policy of standard “no comment” responses to requests from the media.

The paperwork gives an insight into Meghan’s view of palace leaks about her life which made front page headlines in British newspapers....

McCain, who departed the ABC daytime talk show over the summer after four years as the conservative voice on the panel, took to the micro-blogging platform to share a post dedicated to her husband, Ben Domenech, on Monday. Later on in the day, the TV personality, 37, returned to Twitter to accuse Behar, 79, of “trolling” the post in a move that she said “creeps” her out. Things started on a far more celebratory note when McCain shared a photo of herself posing alongside her husband of four years....

The Duchess of Sussex smiled as Stephanie Heckl, an editor of Bunte, held up her cellphone camera during a walkabout in Dusseldorf, Germany, on Tuesday. The weekly magazine, whose editor-in-chief is Robert Polzer, published an intrusive image of Archie, aged 1, in its July 16, 2020 edition. The child was playing in the private grounds of actor Tyler Perry’s Los Angeles mansion. The couple sued picture agency X17 over images taken using drones a week later at Los Angeles Superior Court and won, with the company releasing an apology....

The royal’s interview with Hilton formed the central basis of the podcast episode titled “Breaking Down the Bimbo,” in which the pair unpicked the public persona that the star revealed she had adopted as a result of time spent in an abusive school environment and negative media attention.

Just Not Sports filmed a video PSA that shows how female sportswriters often get treated on Twitter in a much, much darker version of Jimmy Kimmel’s “Mean Tweets.” The message? “You wouldn’t say it to their faces. So let’s not type it.” Here’s how it worked. Several men, who were not the original authors, read vile comments directed at Sarah Spain of ESPN and Julie Dicaro of The Cauldron. They struggled to get through them and some repeatedly apologized....

Mexico, which lost to Brazil in a penalty-kick shootout in the semfinal stage, beat Japan 3-1 to claim the bronze medal. The usual European and South American heavyweights — Spain, France, Germany, Brazil and Argentina — were the pre-tournament favorites going in, but it was Spain and Brazil which advanced all the way to the final after Germany, France and Argentina were eliminated in the group stage. The Men’s Football Tournament kicked off with a round-robin group stage in which each team played three matches against the others in the group (July 22, July 25 and July 28)....

Man City favourites to win Premier League With the deal, Mendy, who turned 23 on July 17, has become the most expensive defender in football history and eclipses the £45m fee City paid for Kyle Walker last week that made the England star the game’s most expensive full-back. The France international has signed a five-year deal with the Etihad Stadium outfit, becoming their fourth major signing of a window that has also seen them sign Benfica goalkeeper Ederson as well as Mendy’s Monaco team-mate Bernardo Silva....

Any close cooperation between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL raises the persistent discussions about a possible merger of the two confederations. A Pan-American confederation would combine the money of North American sponsors, television networks, and markets with the political power and talent of South America to create a confederation on par with UEFA. As UEFA gets set to play more games amongst itself and fewer if any friendlies with North/South American teams, a merger makes even more sense....

Messi, 30, is a record five-time Ballon d’Or winner, having enjoyed an incredible career at the La Liga giants. But the superstar forward, who is preparing for the World Cup in Russia, said he was just like other players. “I don’t consider myself the best, I think I am just another player,” Messi told Paper Magazine, in which he posed with a goat for a photoshoot. “On the field, we are all the same when the game begins....

The Argentine wizard opened the scoring for the Catalans on Sunday with a typically stunning strike against Levante. Messi played a one-two with chief partner in crime Jordi Alba and finished with a volley to put his side 1-0 up on the way to a convincing 3-0 victory. And, in doing so, La Pulga drew level with the ex-Bayern and Germany superstar to match a record which has stood for 39 years....

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and Barca’s own Lionel Messi are again going head-to-head for the prestigious award, with France Football set to announce the winner on Thursday. Victory for Ronaldo, who scooped the FIFA Best Men’s Player prize in London in October, would tie him on five Ballons d’Or apiece with Messi and continue the duo’s dominance of honour for the past decade. Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League double last season makes the 32-year-old favourite to do just that, but Valverde has no time for the clamour around individual gongs – including the European Golden Shoe, which Messi won for a fourth time as the continent’s top scorer last month....

Collins’ Mets were the only National League team to not have a player participate in the game, despite having four selected to the team. Closer Jeurys Familia and Bartolo Colon remained glued to the bench, while Noah Syndergaard (elbow) and Yoenis Cespedes (quad) were scratched due to injury. Collins explained that Familia - a first-time All-Star - was being stored for a save opportunity that never materialized and Colon - four career ASG selections - was tapped as the emergency extra-innings hurler....
