And while it was often reported that this was because of her scrappy determination to make it in the music business, the singer has now cleared up those associations and the “misrepresentation” of how her music career actually started out. In fact, now aged 47 and releasing new music, Jewel Kilcher has revealed that her stint living in a car and eventual homelessness was a result of her trying to avoid the advances of a boss who pursued her sexually....

Shriver, a TV journalist and the daughter of JFK’s sister Eunice, posted a tweet on November 22—the 59th anniversary of the president’s shooting in Dallas—revealing how his death has stayed with her. “On this day in 1963, my uncle was killed by an assassin’s bullet. I was in the third grade at the time. I was taken out of class and sent home. This day is forever seared into my heart and mind,” she wrote....

A salmonella outbreak forced peanut butter company Jif to issue a voluntary recall of 49 products in June. Only yesterday did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declare the outbreak over. Jif claims to have removed impacted jars from store shelves, but it’s up to consumers to make sure that salmonella-tainted spreads aren’t lingering in their homes. What Happened? The Jif salmonella outbreak impacted a range of spreads and squeezes, including some of Jif’s creamy peanut butters, crunchy peanut butters, to-go packs, and squeezable pouches....

Ellis has been the interim coach since Tom Sermanni was surprisingly dismissed in early April after an exhibition victory against China. It was Ellis' second stint as an interim coach with the team; she also took over when previous head coach Pia Sundhage resigned in 2012 to become head coach of Sweden's national team. Ellis was an assistant to both Sermanni and Sundhage. She was on the staff of the gold medal-winning U....

One such story came from a 2012 Sports Illustrated profile of boxing promoter Bob Arum. Legendary Browns running back Jim Brown, who introduced Arum to Ali, had retired after the 1965 season and was pursuing a career in acting. Ali was the heavyweight champion in the prime of his career. Brown really thought he could take Ali in the ring, and the blockbuster bout would have resulted in a huge payday....

On Monday, the Russian Foreign Ministry revealed that the two had been tacked onto the expanding list of those who may no longer enter the country. “This is not a joke: Russia just sanctioned Jim Carrey,” Washington Post journalist Mary Ilyushina tweeted on Monday morning. “He and a hundred other Canadians are banned from entering the country after speaking out against the invasion of Ukraine.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that 23 Russians had been added to his country’s sanctions list....

The Troop Zero star, 54, launched into a lengthy tirade on Twitter against President Donald Trump, whom he labeled a " liar and a criminal," as well as sharply criticizing those who support him. “Look Trumpers I get it. As a kid I was a cubs fan and I know you stick by your team no matter what but he’s a traitor and a con man who doesn’t care about you,” one tweet reads....

The Michigan coach was at the White House on Monday to help promote Michelle Obama’s “Reach Higher” initiative for teens. Probably not the way he would have drawn it up had he known what was going to transpire Saturday night at the Big House, but he found a sympathetic audience in the First Family.

Jordan, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, has been a staunch critic of President Joe Biden and his administration. The Ohio Republican currently serves as the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee. If the GOP retakes control of the House, as many analysts expect the party to do, Jordan would be seen as the most likely lawmaker to chair the legislative chamber’s judiciary committee. During a Thursday episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe podcast, Jordan laid out a list of investigations he aims to launch if Republicans take back the majority....

Speaking on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Jordan mentioned Manchin confirming he will not support the president’s spending bill while attacking the Biden administration over a number of policies. Jordan also accused the president of failing the country over the economy, after the Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed inflation has risen to a four-decade high of 5.7 percent. “The American people would like safe streets, they’d like affordable gas and they’d like freedom....

MORE: Who has it tough for 2016? | SN Preseason Top 25 The Seminoles coach said the team will not participate in any camps, the Orlando Sentinel reported. “We satellite right here in Tallahassee,” Fisher said.

Though he garnered some cheers at Homestead-Miami Speedway Sunday night, most fans are still tired of seeing Johnson win and like to discredit his accomplishments. Such is the widespread disdain for arguably NASCAR’s greatest champion. MORE: Johnson wins sixth title | McNabb: Johnson no athlete | The response | Johnson the best ever?

But Jimmie Johnson will run the same car in four of the last eight races this season. He likes the car that much and for some reason it’s faster than the rest of his Hendrick Motorsports fleet. That’s why the team had it on the track Friday at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where Johnson was 11th in practice with a lap of 175.194 mph.

Butler threw a hand in as James pulled the ball up for a right-handed layup, knocking it out of his hand and extending the game to overtime. It was one of several solid defensive plays Butler made against James, who was held to 15 points in regulation. James did pull in nine rebounds and drop off eight assists, however. The Bulls would go on to win, 95-88, in overtime. MORE: Yannick Noah cheers on his son, Joakim | Butler, James assessed technical fouls

“The Texas legislation is part of a concerted attack on our democracy that’s being advanced in statehouses across the country on the basis of the same repeatedly disproven lies that led to the assault on our nation’s Capitol on January 6,” White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday. “The fact of the matter is that the Texas legislation would make it harder to vote in a state where it is already too hard for many to vote....

Speaking in downtown Los Angeles, Biden framed himself as the only Democratic 2020 candidate who has passed significant gun law reform and demanded action to rid schools of gun violence. “You parents and grandparents, you send off children—6, 7, 8, 9, 10 years old—and the first thing they learn is how to duck and cover,” Biden said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “We’re now making sure that we provide children the ability to avoid being shot in school,” he continued....

The Democrat became the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday, replacing Donald Trump in the White House. YouGov asked 5,575 U.S. adults on Thursday: “On January 20, the leadership of the United States formally transitioned from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. Putting aside your political affiliation, how does the inauguration make you feel?” “Hopeful” was the most commonly chosen response, with 43 percent picking this description. Broken down by party affiliation, 14 percent of Republicans—roughly one in seven—said the inauguration made them hopeful....

Last week the 2020 presidential candidate said that “poor kids” were as smart and talented as “white kids;” claimed he met with students who survived the shooting in Parkland, Florida, while he was vice president (the shooting occurred a year after he left office); mixed up the locations of the Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, mass shootings; confused former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with Theresa May and messed up a few oft-repeated lines in his stump speech during the Iowa State Fair....

Biden’s victory was cemented on Friday after gaining the required 1,991 delegates after Tuesday’s primaries across seven states and the District of Columbia. “It is definitely unusual,” Caitlin Jewitt, a political scientist at Virginia Tech, said of Biden’s victory. “It’s really a different path to the nomination than we have ever seen before.” Not since 1992, when then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was running for president, has a Democratic candidate not been successful in either of the first two nominating contests but go on to secure the party’s nomination....
