Bialik, an actress known for her roles on Blossom and The Big Bang Theory, has been scrutinized for remarks she’s made in the past on vaccines, as well as an opinion article she wrote for The New York Times which critics called an example of “victim blaming.” Jeff Jarvis, a former television critic and current journalism professor at the City University of New York, was one of many on Friday who felt Bialik should also be removed as a replacement for the late host Alex Trebek....

In a video shot by Fighthype.com on Thursday at Mayweather’s boxing gym, Showtime Boxing analyst and former McGregor sparring partner Paulie Malignaggi called McGregor a “sucker,” and Mayweather teased that he sent Malignaggi to the UFC lightweight champion’s camp to spy and gather info for his own knowledge. MORE: Five fights that defined McGregor’s career “Paulie has always been my friend,” Mayweather said. “You know what, I even told my friend … my friend called me and said, ‘Floyd, do you want me to go to camp?...

The Ligue 1 giants have cruised to the French title this season, and are currently 19 points clear of second-placed Lyon with just three games of the campaign remaining. Nevertheless, another recruitment drive is expected this summer after PSG signed Neymar from Barcelona for a world-record €222 million and Mbappe from AS Monaco last summer, along with Dani Alves and, later, Lassana Diarra on free transfers. And Mbappe believes that Kante would be the ideal signing, having become one of the finest defensive midfielders in world football in recent seasons....

Some ‘bling bling’: Between $1.00 and $1 million. Seeing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney utter both phrases at a Martin Luther King Birthday celebration in Jacksonville, Fla. yesterday: Priceless. “Dogs” at the start; skip to 2:30 for the “bling.” This is why YouTube exists.

As if scolding the Vietnamese wasn’t enough, McCain also stoked his feud with George W. Bush. McCain’s meeting with Bush, scheduled for Pittsburgh next week, is still on, but only after McCain threatened to cancel it over the agenda. Bush wants to ask permission to put McCain on a list of vice-presidential contenders. The senator doesn’t want to be asked, and hopes to keep his distance from Bush. Navigating Hanoi in a Land Cruiser, McCain came closer than ever to declaring that he would never join the ticket....

McCarthy recently criticized McConnell’s plan to pass the omnibus spending package before Christmas. The bill is meant to avert the shutdown of the federal government, McCarthy, who is generally backed by former President Donald Trump, said on Tuesday that Senate Republicans shouldn’t vote for the bill, The Hill reported. The House minority leader argued that they could instead vote for a stopgap measure that would put a hold on federal funding levels until January when the GOP takes control of the House majority, which they narrowly won during this year’s midterm elections....

This version of the chain’s McFlurry sundae comes with vanilla ice cream, a vividly bright green cilantro sauce and a topping of cilantro flakes. It costs 6.6 yuan, or about $1.05 USD. The limited-edition item is only available until February 25. On social media, reactions to the dessert were intense and divided. Twitter user @SuperSpacedad praised cilantro ice cream, writing: “Anyone who hasn’t tried it should - spicy + sweet/creamy does amazing things on your tastebuds....

The video, which was first posted by TikTok user @hails.mae in late 2020, was recently reposted to her account. It was first viewed nearly 8 million times, and the second posting received more than 1 million views. TikToker @hails.mae asked for a large order of fries after showing an already-pricy order in her video, to which the employee asked if she was aware that they were closing soon before he swore....

It's an interesting concept in modern basketball — not quite unique, but getting there too quickly. I trace it to the summer of 2008, when the basketball world became obsessed with how things would develop for LeBron James. This involved not how James would play for the Cleveland Cavaliers in either of the next two seasons, but which team he would choose to play for when he became a free agent in 2010....

The purpose of Media Day, presumably, is to allow reporters from around the world to get the stories of the athletes who will be involved in the Super Bowl, to ask the questions that they want to ask, and to get the buzz flowing for the rest of the week. That's still part of the equation, but Media Day has turned into so much more than that — a fact that becomes evident when the first sight of the morning is an Austrian reporter dressed as Mozart, being interviewed by Ines Sainz, whom you may remember as the TV Azteca reporter who got harassed by the New York Jets a few years ago....

Entertainment is only the latest industry to benefit from a recent outpouring of Middle Eastern money. Gambling and strip clubs may be haram (forbidden) by Islamic law, but Arab investors have spent at least $10 billion on top Vegas and Hollywood brands in the last year. Universal Studios and Dubai property-developer Tatter are building a $2.2 billion, 22 million-square-foot theme park in the city-state; Warner Brothers and Aldar (Abu Dhabi’s largest real-estate firm) have cut a $2 billion deal to build another local megastudio and coproduce a series of films and videogames in both English and Arabic....

lose attention to one thing it’s hard to notice something that comes hard on its heels, typically within half a second. For instance, Davidson had the volunteers watch a screen where capital letters flashed, one at a time, for one-twentieth of a second. Once or twice in the rapid-fire stream of 15 or so letters, a number snuck in. At the end, the volunteers typed which number or numbers had snuck in....

The Los Angeles native made a dozen appearances for Chivas USA in 2009 and added another four in the next two seasons for the ill-fated MLS club. After bouncing around in the lower divisions, the midfielder headed for El Salvador. Though he was born to Salvadoran parents, the United States always had been Mayen’s home. Now with Santa Tecla, which faces the Seattle Sounders in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions League round-of-16 match on Thursday, Mayen would love to use the international stage to return to the U....

But while Iniesta was piecing together his future in the 2017-18 season, Barca were already looking to their own - and they may have just solved one of the most painful issues the club have had to face. In securing the full transfer of Gremio wonderkid Arthur for just under €40 million (£35.5m/$47m), those at Camp Nou feel they have made a big step in ensuring the future of their midfield is in good shape....
