Stephen Colbert dramatically declared “we are all Jimmy Kimmel” during his Thursday night taping of “The Late Show” in a cringey monologue about ABC’s firing of his fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

If anyone can make crow's feet cool, it's Gwyneth Paltrow.

Billionaire Mets owner Steve Cohen's bid with Hard Rock to open a $8 billion "Metropolitan Park' casino complex next to his team's ballpark has emerged as a top contender to obtain a state gaming license.

The TV personality's long-standing late-night show was pulled off the air after his controversial remarks about the death of Charlie Kirk.

Stephen A. Smith has weighed in on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” being taken off the air indefinitely by ABC. 

He presented his theory as to what set off the “Phillies Karen” in a viral moment caught on camera.

Jasson Domínguez does not always play anymore, but when he does, he makes an impact. 

The Mercury are good but not unbeatable. 

The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has offered new evidence for what most already suspect: The Kremlin murdered her husband.

With Sept. 18 being dubbed National Cheeseburger Day in the United States, five notable fast-food chains have been ranked as to which restaurant has the best cheeseburger.

“Who talks like this?” the actor recalled thinking about the line.

Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani not only supports the “cap” on charter schools, he wants to evict existing charters from their buildings.

The icon also showed off an edgy purse reading "p---y power."

All hail Jay Jacobs, the state Democratic chairman, for refusing to bend the knee to Zohran Mamdani, warning that the candidate's socialist agenda doesn't represent “the principles, values or policies of the Democratic Party.”

The scene wasn't cleared until around 3 p.m., according to the rescue squad — hours after the fight first started.

New details were released in the death of Vadim Kruglov, 37, the Russian national killed Aug. 30 by a suspect who cops say remains on the lam.

A common over-the-counter medication could significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer coming back.

Brandon Sullivan, 18, was attending an afternoon probation meeting when the NYPD’s Violent Crime Task Force closed in on him in connection to the May 18 Fordham Heights shooting that killed 57-year-old Kevin Jennings and wounded a 34-year-old woman, cops and sources said. 

This leaves the Mets running on two tracks as the season dwindles to what now has just three remaining series.

It's nearly impossible for the media to process the concept of “pro-trans militancy,” let alone pro-trans violence — so reporters and hosts prefer to mumble and look at their shoes.

Ibsen’s mysticism and mermaids are thrown out as director Simon Stone amps up the 1888 play’s psychological intensity with his eco-focused update

Writer-director Simon Stone is known for his rock’n’roll takes on the classics. This is a characteristically high-octane version of Ibsen’s play: loud, modern and led by screen stars Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln. Yet his script, again created in the rehearsal process, retains all of Ibsen’s layers and adds some of its own in the updating.

All mystical talk of the sea and mermaids is excised. The production brings a sharply lit realism to the privileged yet complex family at its heart that seems to be slowly drowning: Ellida (Vikander), as the young, second wife of neurologist Edward (Lincoln), is caught between life with her husband and a long lost, formative ex-lover, Finn (Brendan Cowell), who makes a reappearance. Ellida’s stepdaughters, Hilda (Isobel Akuwudike) and Asa (Gracie Oddie-James), are trying to stay afloat amid grief for their biological mother, who killed herself.

Chancellor would face ‘major fiscal issue’ if public service funding productivity remained flat, warns IFS

Robertson looks a better bet for Merseyside derby, a fresh test for Bournemouth, protests at West Ham and more

It would be a surprise to see Arne Slot start Milos Kerkez against Everton, given the left-back’s struggles against Burnley last weekend. Kerkez was booked for diving and was lucky to avoid a second yellow after fouling Jaidon Anthony before being substituted for Andy Robertson after 38 minutes at Turf Moor. Surely Slot will not risk a similar performance in the cauldron of the Merseyside derby, especially with such a dependable option in Robertson and the tricky Iliman Ndiaye on the right wing for Everton? “It’s a massive jump [playing for Liverpool],” said the Scot as he came to the defence of Kerkez this week. “I came from Hull City, he’s come from Bournemouth, and it’s probably quite similar. He will be the starting left-back for Liverpool in the future and it’s up to me to push him this season and help him improve.” Kerkez is lucky to have such an experienced mentor, but may face a wait to get back into Slot’s starting XI after Robertson started against Atlético Madrid in midweek.

Analysis reveals 24% of guilty doctors handed suspensions but are allowed to keep working in medicine

UK doctors who are guilty of sexual misconduct are not being appropriately sanctioned due to weak disciplinary processes, research reveals.

Nearly a quarter (24%) of doctors found guilty of sexual misconduct were handed suspensions but allowed to continue working in medicine, according to analysis of fitness to practice tribunals by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS). This is despite the regulator, the General Medical Council (GMC), recommending they be struck off the medical register.
