While highly anticipated rookie Victor Wembanyama turned heads with a dazzling "5x5" performance (16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks, 5 steals), it was ultimately LeBron's veteran leadership and Anthony Davis' defensive prowess that sealed the deal for the Lakers.

Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor died of natural causes, according to the Southwark Coroner's Court in London.




"This is to confirm that Ms. O'Connor died of natural causes," the statement reads. "The coroner has therefore ceased their involvement in her death."

A tribute concert for O'Connor and her friend, Irish artist Shane MacGowan, is planned for March in New York. City Winery is organizing Sinéad & Shane at Carnegie Hall. Performers include David Gray, Glen Hansard, Amanda Palmer and the Dropkick Murphys. MacGowan died on Nov. 30, 2023, at the age of 65.

Real Madrid beats Atletico 5-3 in extra time thriller to reach Spanish Super Cup final

  Real Madrid beats Atletico 5-3 in extra time thriller to reach Spanish Super Cup final RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — After own-goals, goalkeeping blunders and a milestone by Antoine Griezmann, Real Madrid outlasted Atletico Madrid in thrilling extra time victory in the semifinal of Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. Two late goals gave Madrid a 5-3 win over its rival in a match in which Griezmann surpassed Luis Aragonés as Atletico’s all-time top scorer with 174 goals. Madrid will play Sunday’s final against either Barcelona or Osasuna, who meet on Thursday in Riyadh. “It was a back-and-forth match,” Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. “They did well in the first half and in the second we were able to improve.

Feud: Capote vs. the Swans Premiere Recap: Welcome to Swan Lake

Feud: Capote vs. the Swans  Premiere Recap: Welcome to Swan Lake  Setting the opening scene of Capote vs. the Swans at a lake where an older Truman Capote stares at a number of the birds lazing about on the water is perhaps a bit on the nose. But then, the subject of this Ryan Murphy–produced series demands such operatic visual language. The rift that drove the author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood out of the stylish, moneyed set of society “swans” he was so fond of cultivating was the stuff of tabloid fodder and of more hushed (and therefore far more vicious) gossip among the wealthy elite. The story all but demands to be told in a cursive headline font or the equivalent thereof — which translates to Tom Hollander as the fedora-sporting writer looking fondly at actual swans as he muses on what he has lost and whether his banishment from society was worth it after all. Soon, Jon Robin Baitz’s script for this premiere episode — based, as is the entire season, on La...
