Silverstone, now 44, starred as the endearing Cher Horowitz in the 1995 classic. But while she’s a household name, it seems we’ve been pronouncing it wrong all these years. The mom-of-one took to TikTok to clarify exactly how to say Alicia, as she stitched a clip on the site. “Tell me what your name is, and then tell me what people mispronounce it as,” a woman says. Silverstone, who joined the social media platform in June, captioned a clip: “Just an FYI… it’s Ali-SEE-yuh....

I remember beauty becoming important to my peers around age 10. I started to notice the stares and whispers. At that time, my skin was about 90% covered with flares from plaque and guttate psoriasis. As a child, it was hard to embrace something that made me different from my classmates. I didn’t understand what it meant to have a chronic illness. All I knew was that I had dry skin that was itchy and unattractive, and I hated it....

Royals manager Ned Yost decided to hold back the man who has been the best pitcher for the Red Sox this year in case the AL needed someone to work in extra innings. Strategically, that was understandable. For entertainment value, it was unfortunate. MORE: Top photos from 2016 All-Star Game “Because this game means so much, they wanted to make sure that if we went extra innings, we didn’t run out of pitching,” Wright said....

As has become standard with these streaming services, Paramount+ is making the most of ViacomCBS’s extensive intellectual property with a whole host of reboots, sequels and spin-offs. These range from the seemingly inevitable (a Frasier reboot, two spin-offs from the world of Yellowstone) to the bizarre (series based on Grease and Flashdance, and a reality show bringing back together all the contestants from the original Real World).

Rooney returned to boyhood club Everton at the start of the season after 13 years at Old Trafford, where he enjoyed a remarkable career, becoming United’s all-time leading goal-scorer while winning every major domestic trophy as well as the Champions League, Europa League and FIFA Club World Cup. Expectations were high for Rooney and Everton this season, with the club investing heavily in their squad, but, though they are closing in on an eighth-place finish, the campaign has been largely disappointing....

On Wednesday, the state attorney’s office in Florida released a video showing Javon Carter, 29, counting several hundred dollar bills. Investigators believe the money Carter can be seen counting was cash he was given for the alleged murder of Le’Shonte Jones, 24, according to WPLG. The money reportedly came into Carter’s possession from Jasmine Martinez, 33, as part of a fraudulent loan through the Paycheck Protection Program, officers said. Martinez, WPLG reports, took out a $15,000 loan through the government program designed to help small businesses back in April....

Argentina striker Higuain spearheaded Napoli’s bid to dethrone Juve as Serie A champions last season before making an acrimonious 90 million euro ($98.9M) move to Turin during the close season. Does Cristiano really rely on penalties? He made light of being the focus of prematch attention against his former employers by scoring a 70th minute winner after Jose Callejon swiftly cancelled out Leonardo Bonucci’s opener for the hosts. Allegri went on to praise Higuain, who refused to celebrate what was his first goal in five games having embraced Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri before the match got under way....

Nevertheless this was a reality for residents in New Orleans on September 8, when a local stumbled upon the dead creature hanging half out of a dumpster in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. Speaking to WGNO at the time, Naomi Gadinsky said: “There’s a gator in the garbage.

The four Democrats who showed up (the Republicans come Tuesday) all committed themselves to at least doubling the $5 billion spent annually for cancer research—in other words, to backing a “surge” in the long-neglected war on cancer. Considering that cancer kills 550,000 Americans a year (that’s 1,500 a day—the leading cause of death for those under 85), it’s about time. As Bill Richardson said, “it’s pathetic” that we now spend the same in two weeks in Iraq as we spend all year fighting cancer....

Judging is different than asking tough questions. Katie Couric’s interview with John and Elizabeth Edwards on “Sixty Minutes” was, as the couple themselves said this week, entirely in-bounds. Couric was simply airing the issues, which any good journalist must do. This was not “inappropriately harsh,” as one critic on CBSNews.com put it, but an extremely useful contribution to the de-stigmatizing of cancer and the healthy national dialogue now taking place....

In recent years, the word apology has reverted in politics to its original meaning in Greek, which is “defense.” (Plato’s “Apologia” is an account of Socrates’ unsuccessful defense of himself in his trial.) Exhibit A is McCain, whose career-enhancing apologies are legion. A partial list includes apologizing for making a “confession” tape during his captivity by the North Vietnamese; for committing adultery during his first marriage; for his role in the Keating Five savings-and-loan scandal; for a nasty joke about Chelsea Clinton; for comparing Newt Gingrich’s popularity to Jeffrey Dahmer’s, and, during the 2000 campaign, for calling Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell “agents of intolerance....
