Luke List shot a four-under par 66 to hold a one-stroke lead at the Honda Classic on Saturday while Tiger Woods' 69 ensured he remained within striking distance. List, the co-leader on Friday, birdied the last after a fantastic bunker shot for a seven-under 203 through three rounds at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. PGA champion Justin Thomas (65) and Webb Simpson (66) were a stroke behind with Britain's Tommy Fleetwood (67) and American Jamie Lovemark (68) another shot adrift. Sweden's Alex Noren also was in the mix as he bounced back from a 75 to shoot 65, a closing eagle boosting him to four-under at 206. Woods, making his third start of the PGA Tour season after a year-long absence following back surgery, birdied his final hole for his first round in the 60s in nearly three years. He was tied for 11th at even par 210 despite two late bogeys. "Even though I shot 69, it was probably the highest score I could have shot today," the 14 times majo...

Russian Karen Khachanov outplayed Czech Tomas Berdych 6-3 6-2 to reach the Marseille Open final on Saturday, setting up a title showdown with Frenchman Lucas Pouille. World number 47 Khachanov was impeccable on serve, saving the meager three break points Berdych had throughout the duel. The 21-year-old has now beaten former world number four Berdych in both their meetings having also prevailed at last year's French Open. Pouille reached his second final of the season after a 6-3 7-6(6) defeat of Belarusian qualifier Ilya Ivashka.

Argentine Diego Schwartzman beat Nicolas Jarry 7-5 6-2 on Saturday to reach the final of the Rio Open and set up a showdown with Fernando Verdasco after the Spaniard beat Fabio Fognini 6-1 7-5. The semi-final results mean the tournament will have a new winner and give either Schwartzman or Verdasco their first ATP tour title in more than a year. Verdasco, at 34 the oldest of the four semi-finalists, broke Fognini in the first game of the match and then romped through the first set. Italian Fognini, who knocked out home favorite Thomaz Bellucci in the first round, improved in the second set but could not stop Verdasco from breaking in the decisive 12th game to wrap up the match. World number 23 Schwartzman was too good for Chilean Jarry, who was aiming to reach his first ATP final. The Argentine broke early in the first set before closing out the opener and then overran the 22-year-old in the second.

Japan's Shohei Ohtani had a rough outing in his spring training debut with the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, giving up a home run and two runs in less than two innings. The right-handed pitcher, who is also a strong hitter and considered a genuine two-way prospect, struck out two and walked one in the erratic start against the Milwaukee Brewers at Tempe, Arizona. But the 23-year-old, who signed with the Angels in December, showed potential with his fastball topping 97 miles per hour. He had been scheduled to pitch two full innings, but left with one out in the second after throwing 31 pitches, 17 of them for strikes. Keon Broxton hit a lead-off home run to open Milwaukee's second innings. Ohtani did not bat and Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he was likely to play as a designated hitter early next week. He is the first player in nearly 100 years to attempt to play in the major leagues as a pitcher and hitter.

Sweden beat South Korea 8-3 to claim their third women's curling gold medal in four Winter Games on Sunday, ending the 'Garlic Girls' fairytale Olympic run that captivated the home nation. While Sweden confirmed their status as the dominant force in women's curling, Korea's silver marked a major Asian breakthrough in the sport with two teams on the podium after Japan defeated Britain on Saturday to take the bronze. The only previous Asian team to win an Olympic medal were China's women, who won bronze at the 2010 Vancouver Games. "Just thinking about the journey it makes me almost want to cry," said Sweden skip Anna Hasselborg "In 2015 we had this team together every single day since then we have worked so hard to reach this game "Team Kim has really worked well and worked hard for the last couple of years and we have a lot of respect in that team. "People ask if I'm surprised of them being in the final game, I was not surprise...

Chloe Grace Moretz can breathe a sigh of relief however small because a judge just granted her a permanent restraining order against a man she believes is mentally ill and stalking her. The judge signed off on the order Wednesday and ordered Terry Daniel Quick to stay the hell away from her at least a football length's away for 3 years this according to new legal docs.

Netflix will launch its first streaming-only franchise, with the news (via Bloomberg) that it’s greenlit a sequel to Will Smith film Bright, which is set to stream beginning December 22. Bright has the budget of a Hollywood blockbuster, and a fantasy setting that could be a good fit for an episodic film franchise, given what has traditionally done well with fans in terms of big-budget cinematic universes. Bright had a budget of $90 million, and of course stars Will Smith, himself a draw that you’d typically associate with big Hollywood theatrical productions. It’s not the typical Netflix original movie; those tend to be indie films with modest budgets, and a better chance of resonating with home audiences than dazzling with big-screen special effects. There’s a lot riding on this franchise, now that Netflix has decided to dip its toes into these waters: Sequels are reliable revenue wells for Hollywood studios, as proven by the continued success and popularity of series inclu...

Microsoft today announced a partnership with Reddit to surface the social news site’s content high up in Bing search results, so that searching for specific Reddit communities, pages, and info will spit back information gleaned from subreddits, AMAs, and other threads in a dedicated section. The news, part of a suite of new artificial intelligence-powered features underlying Bing’s search function, works by way of what Microsoft calls intelligent search. The company says intelligent search uses natural language processing to pair Reddit content with the appropriate search terms. The Reddit integration works in three ways. First, by typing in the name of a subreddit on Bing, you’ll get a live snapchat of that subreddit’s top threads displayed in the search results with links to the individual pages. Bing will also include Reddit AMA questions and answers for a celebrity who’s done an AMA, with the content showing up on the person’s search card, which will be accessible just by sear...

Actress Salma Hayek published a disturbing history of her interactions with disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, calling him “my monster” for his repeated sexual harassment, threats, and mistreatment. Hayek, in a New York Times op-ed, explained her initial fear of coming forward, but she said that she ultimately decided to open up about her experience after a number of other women did so. The actress details her experience making the movie Frida about Mexican artist Frida Kahlo with Weinstein. She alleges not only having to say no to his sexual advances, but also having to endure his anger, his criticism of her acting skills, and his demands for a nude sex scene in the film. “Little did I know it would become my turn to say no,” she writes. Hayek claims she said no to a laundry list of sexual harassment including him showing up at her hotel room door and demands that she take a shower with him, give him a massage, and let him perform oral sex on her. “And with every refus...

When will HBO air the final Game of Thrones season 9 ? That’s been the question on just about everyone’s mind since the seventh season came to an end this past summer. The eighth and final Game of Thrones season will bring HBO’s most popular series to an end with the promise of being the show’s most cinematic installment yet. To allow for additional writing and production time, HBO hinted that Game of Thrones may not return until 2019. There was some hope that Game of Thrones could return in 2018, but a new interview with Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark on the show, seems to confirm that’s not the case. “Game of Thrones comes out in 2019,” Turner told Variety. “Dark Phoenix [Turner’s X-Men movie] is in November. Then I have a couple indie movies coming out. I’m a producer on my next movie [Girl Who Fell From the Sky]. So I’m really excited about the future.” HBO’s president of programming, Casey Bloys, told reporters in June during a television conference the premiere date...

Mercedes has revealed the interior layout and design for its yet-to-debut A-Class. The next Benz A-Class will have a minimalistic cabin with few ‘lines’ as not to ‘clutter’ what Mercedes hopes its customers will see as an “avant-garde” design. Much like the ‘Concept A’ revealed by Mercedes-Benz during the Shanghai Motor Show, the interior is quite a departure from the current generation of Mercedes design. Controls are primarily on the steering wheel, with touch screens taking over from what looks be everything else besides the climate controls. However, a trackpad and some drive mode controls remain on the centre console. ‘Turbine’ A/C vents are the most prominent features to depart from the dash’s surface, aside from the new flat-screen instrument cluster which has no cowl above it. Mercedes-Benz head of interior design Hartmut Sinkwitz says the new A-Class cabin is intended to provide the compact segment with a luxury feel it has been lacking. 2018 Mercedes-Benz A-clas...

You better grab hold of something or take a seat because Chrissy Teigen just announced she's having a second child. The model took to Instagram to disclose the news technically, Luna spilled the tea. Chrissy Teigen's pregnancy news broke on Nov. 21 with the cutest video. Since Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's daughter, Luna, is a pivotal part of their lives (and our social media accounts) it only makes sense that she told fans the exciting news. In the video posted on the model's Instagram account, Teigen and Luna are cuddling on the couch. Teigen then asks, "Luna, what's in here?" Luna responds with, "Baby!" Teigen is known for her sense of humor on social media (if you don't follow her on Twitter honey, what is you doing?), and didn't disappoint with the caption, "it's john's!" on her baby news. Perhaps the funniest part is John Legend's response. He commented on the picture and said, "Maury will have the fina...

After an appearance in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad last year, DC fan favorite Harley Quinn will be returning to her roots in her own 26-episode animated series. The currently untitled show will be featured exclusively on the digital streaming service DC is launching next year. That makes it the third series announced thus far, alongside the live-action show Titans, and the animated Young Justice: Outsiders. The series will be headed by Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Dean Lorey, who previously collaborated on DC’s superhero comedy Powerless. The new Harley Quinn series will be loosely inspired by the current comics, where the character has cut ties with the Joker and is roughing it in Gotham City alongside her bestie Poison Ivy and other familiar DC characters. Over the last four years, Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner have given Quinn a more independent vibe in the comics, far from the character’s origins as the Joker’s sidekick in Batman: The Animated Series. (Conner ac...

The trailer for Rampage has landed, and it looks deliciously absurd. Based on the 1986 arcade game, Rampage follows Davis Okoye, a primatologist played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, as he deals with an outbreak of Kong-sized monsters. Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, Silverback Gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend. Players familiar with the original game will be happy to see that all three monsters Lizzie the croc, George the goril...

It's hard to find USB-C earbuds despite so many Android phones including Google’s Pixel 2 devices and the Razer Phone making a switch to the new connector while getting rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Fortunately, there’s a new pair of USB-C buds just released called the Razer Hammerhead USB-C. They’re made to match the Razer Phone, but you can easily plug them into any other device that has a USB-C jack. The earbuds are fitted with 10-mm drivers and acoustic chambers to deliver “deep, distortion-free bass,” according to the company. Razer’s earbuds include an in-line remote and mic along a flat cable that should help reduce tangles. They’re also magnetic, so you can snap them together when not in use. The main problem with the earphones is the fact that they're a garish neon green and black color, which fits with the Razer aesthetic favored by gamers and few others. The Razer Hammerhead earbuds come with a custom carry case and are available for $79.99 from the Raz...

Selena gomez put on a raunchy display at the american music awards 2017 just weeks after undergoing a kidney transplant. The wolves singer, who is reportedly back with ex-boyfriend justin bieber, put on a sizzling display at the popular awards ceremony where she flashed her knickers to the camera as she debuted her new single. The starlet rocked her newly-blonde hairstyle as she launched herself onto the stage in a sexy white gown, thrilling fans with a sexy performance where she rolled around on the ground seductively in front of the nation. The sexy garment was so short, that selena could do nothing to help the slight wardrobe malfunction as she showed the audience her undergarments. She appeared with cuts on her knees and forehead for the theme of the song, which was set after a car crash in a red ford mustang. Just weeks ago, on september 14, selena announced she had undergone a kidney transplant from her best friend. The singer had been laying low for months, ...

The annual Leonid meteor shower is upon us. Look up at the right place in the sky at the right time in the night and you’ll be greeted with magical shooting stars. What am I watching exactly? The Leonid meteor shower is caused when the Earth passes through the debris left behind by Comet Temple-Tuttle. The debris burns up in the sky, because of the friction caused during the process of entering the Earth’s atmosphere. The result is a streak of light aka shooting star lasting less than a second. When can I see it? The meteor shower occurs all through November each year. This year, the peak will be reached early morning before sunrise on Friday (Nov. 17) and Saturday (Nov. 18). And, luckily, there’s no moon to spoil the show. You are likely to see between 10 and 15 shooting stars per hour. Where in the sky should I be looking? The shooting stars should be visible all around the world. If you can, go away from cities to avoid light pollution. If you can’t, find a spo...

The Weeknd and Bella Hadid are reportedly “hanging out again.” Just weeks after he split with Selena Gomez, the Toronto singer was spotted leaving Hadid’s NYC apartment Tuesday night. News that the former couple has been spending a lot of time together, but they haven’t rushed to make things official. “Bella and Abel have been in contact since Abel and Selena split, but they are not back together,” the insider explained. “Abel reached out to Bella asking to hang out and catch up, and she decided to see him and see where things go.

He reportedly told the model he still has feelings for her; however, Hadid is being cautious. “She still loves him but has her guard up. She never really got over him," the source said. “She is not looking to be exclusive with him now, just to be his f...
