The French bulldog business is booming for Jaymar Del Rosario, a breeder whose puppies can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. When he leaves the house to meet a buyer, his checklist includes veterinary paperwork, a bag of puppy kibble and his Glock 26 pistol.

“If I don’t know the area, if I don’t know the people, I always carry my handgun,” Del Rosario said on a recent afternoon as he displayed Cashew, a 6-month-old French bulldog of a new “fluffy” variety that can fetch $30,000…

America is slowly forgetting Abercrombie & Fitch, UBS survey shows

As Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF) attempts to distance itself from a tumultuous period in the brand's history, the retailer is facing another challenge: obscurity.

According to a recent report by UBS Evidence Lab, which surveyed 1,000 consumers in the U.S. and 6,500 consumers elsewhere, awareness of the brand lagged behind other specialty retailers.

Although the Swiss bank found that that consumer…

With Deshaun Watson's disciplinary hearing beginning this week, even as new details are emerging in the case, the Cleveland Browns are bracing for whatever length suspension their new quarterback might face.

In light of that, some Browns fans have wondered: What direction will they go when Watson's punishment is eventually handed down?

And to take it a step further: Could their ex officio QB Baker Mayfield somehow factor into the Browns' equation this season? He does, after…

Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight; Chris Evans as Captain America

Moon Knight is a unique entry into the MCU for a lot of reasons, but one is that it functions almost entirely on its own. The other Disney+ shows are inextricably tied to the bigger Marvel picture one way or the other. Yet Moon Knight barely even references the rest of the MCU–though not for lack of trying.

“There were definitely different times in the writing process where we talked about cameos because cameos are one…

What may have been Colin Kaepernick’s last shot at a National Football League job didn’t go very well, according to Hall of Famer Warren Sapp.

Speaking to urban news site VladTV, Sapp didn’t hold back when Kaepernick’s May workout with the Las Vegas Raiders came up in conversation. The VladTV host mentioned that there were rumors the workout didn’t go very well.

Sapp jumped in, saying, “I heard it was a disaster. I heard it was one of the worst workouts ever. I’m wondering how…

So you're prepping to start another season of Westworld? You'll need a slick new wardrobe, a former military man to befriend and some bodies you can stick copies of your mind into. But if time doesn't allow for all of that, this recap of the third season should suffice.

The first episode of Westworld season 4 premieres Sunday, so it's time to take a look back at where things on HBO's complex and fascinating sci-fi series left off. Season 3 took place largely outside of the eponymous…

The National Rugby League (NRL) announced today that Ampol State of Origin Two in Perth had officially sold out.

Following Queensland’s win in Game One of the series in Sydney, State of Origin’s first trip back to Optus Stadium since 2019 will be played in front of a full house.

With only single tickets remaining for Game Three in Brisbane, NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said supporters had responded in an extraordinary way to ensure capacity crowds across the series.

“We are…

Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to his first tour-level final on grass Friday when he defeated Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi 6-4, 6-4 at the Mallorca Championships. The No. 2 seed, who is making his debut at the ATP 250 tournament in Santa Ponsa, Calvia, saved all three break point he faced and converted two of his own five break-point chances to prevail after one hour and 33 minutes.

“It was a good match. I am very happy today,” Tsitsipas said in his on-court interview. “I have played a final…

Why Turkey's Erdogan is blocking NATO membership for Finland and Sweden

It was supposed to be a fait accompli. Three months after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his forces into Ukraine, the governments of Finland and Sweden formally applied for NATO membership on May 18 as a hedge against future Russian military aggression.

President Biden immediately signaled his approval, saying that enlarging the alliance would “make NATO stronger,” and a month earlier Turkish…

Back in December, at the close of the “Armageddon” event’s fourth episode, viewers saw Tom Cavanagh’s hoodwinked Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash slip into the S.T.A.R. Labs time vault and ominously declare, “No one uses time against me!”

Cavanagh in turn told TVLine at the time that his villainous alter ego likes to pace himself, when unfurling fiendish plots.

Well, the sinister speedster’s time bomb went boom in The Flash‘s penultimate Season 8 episode, when a series of incredible…

Don't expect the Dark Knight to be well-versed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Christian Bale claims he had no idea what the MCU was before he joined Thor: Love and Thunder. The Batman Begins star, set to make his Marvel debut as the villainous, goth-adjacent Gorr the God Butcher in the fourth installment of the Thor franchise, shared as much in an interview with Total Film Magazine published…

For two years, the coronavirus killed Americans on a brutal, predictable schedule: A few weeks after infections climbed so did deaths, cutting an unforgiving path across the country.

But that pattern appears to have changed. Nearly three months since an ultra-contagious set of new omicron variants launched a springtime resurgence of cases, people are nonetheless dying from COVID-19 at a rate close to the lowest of the pandemic.

The spread of the virus and the number of deaths…

Lightyear | In Theaters on Friday, June 17

The origin story of Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear and his adventures to infinity and beyond.

Our Take: The Toy Story universe is taking a step back in time with the spin-off Lightyear, an interstellar adventure which explores the origin story of the iconic space ranger. Chris Evans lends his voice as the "human" Buzz Lightyear, alongside a stellar voice cast which includes Taika Waititi, Keke Palmer, James Brolin, and Uzo Aduba.…

Within days, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is expected to hand down a decision that could severely limit the federal government’s authority to reduce carbon dioxide from power plants — pollution that is dangerously heating the planet.

But it is only a start.

The case, West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency, is the product of a coordinated, multiyear strategy by Republican attorneys general, conservative legal activists and their funders, several with…

Disney/Pixar's latest film Lightyear just hit theaters, and it looks like they're about to take us on a nostalgic flight. With Chris Evans taking on the role of Buzz Lightyear, long-time Toy Story fans finally get a glimpse into the backstory of the superhero and how he became so well loved.

Even though movie-goers are quite excited to see Chris' take on the titular role (it's not like he doesn't have any experience playing a superhero), many fans have been asking the same question we…

Blues Crusaders live score starts on 18 Jun 2022 at 07:05 UTC time at Eden Park stadium, Auckland city, New Zealand in Super Rugby

On Saturday afternoon, around 45,000 rugby fans will stream into a sold-out Eden Park to witness the Blues take on the Crusaders in the final of the Super Rugby Pacific tournament.

It marks the climax of the great rivalry between Auckland and Christchurch, but it's also the first major step we're taking towards living with…

With Disney’s Pixar animated film Lightyear being banned in 14 countries in Asia and the Middle East, starring Chris Evans voicing Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear, a Canadian animator who worked on the character Alisha Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba), at the centre of the ban for her same-sex marriage in the movie, is highlighting the joy of bringing that character to the screen.

"I know that for me, growing up and watching a lot of action movies back when I was a kid, there were a few…

As a coming-of-age story, Amazon’s The Summer I Turned Pretty is a cut above. Tenderly written and endearingly acted, it’s sensitive to the subtle but irreversible shifts in self-perception that come with late adolescence — and at the same time clear-eyed enough to understand that teenagers, up to and including its own blushing heroine, sure can act like clueless jerks while they’re figuring out how to wield their newfound powers.

It’s a bit of a bummer, then, that it’s wrapped up in…

The first three episodes of The Boys Season 3 gave fans a lot to unpack, including a reference to the cast of Riverdale.
