shutterstock_2122117229537109

Adele has added 32 dates to her Las Vegas residency, with the new shows extending ‘Weekends With Adele’ at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace through next June. The announcement marks the second time that Adele has added dates to the original three-month residency; back in March, she added 34 dates through Nov. 4.

Adele posted on social media: “This residency, these shows have changed my life. I desperately needed to fall back in love with performing live again, and I have. I needed to reconnect with my songs and remember what they mean to me, and I have! Being on stage over the last year so up close and personal with an audience again after all these years has been a truly extraordinary restorative experience that I’ll never forget. All the hilarious, soulful, wild and heartbreaking interactions we’ve had are banked in my mind for life. The looks on your faces, seeing you laugh and cry together singing your hearts out and hoarding bags of confetti. All the simi dolls, friendship bracelets, flowers, facetime calls and flags. It’s crazy how joyful a show full of sad songs can be!! I’ve felt so much and learned so much about myself and you. It’s humanized everything I thought was scary. Mostly though – it’s just made me realize how much I really enjoy being on stage, that I’m bloody good at it and that it is 100% where I belong! So let’s go one last time before I turn into a showgirl forever! Love you and I’ll see you on the other side soon x”

The final leg of the residency begins Friday, January 19, 2024, and runs through Saturday, June 15, 2024. Registration is open via Ticketmaster Verified Fan. Fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access beginning Thursday, October 26th.

Republicans pick Rep. Mike Johnson as fourth House Speaker candidate

shutterstock_1381036358136040

Republicans have chosen their fourth House Speaker candidate, Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., in a secret-ballot vote Tuesday evening. Johnson was selected the party’s new nominee after multiple rounds of voting, and after Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota dropped his bid for the position. The House has been without a speaker for three weeks after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California was ousted from the leadership role.

Johnson received 128 votes in the final round during the 8 p.m. EDT meeting, with Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., getting 29 votes. Five speaker candidates made their pitches to the conference before voting began — Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., was the first candidate knocked out of the running, followed by Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, in the second round of voting. Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., dropped out after Williams was eliminated.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., won multiple rounds of voting earlier in the day to become the party’s third nominee before being forced to drop his bid just three hours after GOP members chose him, in the face of staunch opposition from within the conference, as well as former President Donald Trump.
Twenty-six Republicans reportedly either voted present or for another candidate, indicating that Emmer was far from the 217 votes needed to win. After meeting with holdouts on Tuesday afternoon, Emmer stepped aside.

Johnson, 51, was elected to Congress in 2016 and has avoided making political enemies in the House. Johnson is a lawyer specializing in constitutional issues, he had rallied Republicans around Trump’s legal effort to overturn the 2020 election results. To secure the speakership, Johnson will need to win at least 217 of the 221 Republican votes. It remains unclear if Johnson can get to 217 to break the GOP stalemate. A floor vote could happen as early as Wednesday afternoon

Republicans are now faced with trying again to choose a new speaker who can credibly unite the GOP majority, lead the party and get the U.S. Congress working again.

Chiefs WR Justyn Ross charged with misdemeanor domestic battery charges

shutterstock_2065681730405661

After his arrest on Monday afternoon on suspicion of property damage, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross has been charged in Johnson County District Court with domestic battery and property damage of less than $1,000, both misdemeanor charges. The criminal complaint accused Ross of “unlawfully and knowingly cause physical contact with a person in a rude, insulting, or angry manner” against a woman with whom he had a relationship.

Court records said Ross was arrested at 2:54 p.m. in Shawnee, Kansas on Monday, denoting the arrest as a domestic violence incident. Ross was initially booked into custody at 4:27 p.m. Monday at the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office on allegations of criminal damages exceeding $25,000.

Ross signed a three-year, $2.56 million contract with the Chiefs on May 6, 2022, after going undrafted out of Clemson. He didn’t play during the 2022 season as he recovered from injury. Ross has been on the Chiefs’ active roster for all seven games in the 2023 regular season. He’s caught three passes for 34 yards this season and had the fourth-most snaps of any Chiefs wide receiver during Sunday’s 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

A pair of two-out singles from Arizona’s Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno drove in two runs in the fifth inning to put the Diamondbacks back in front 3-2, with Carroll adding a run in the seventh inning to extend the Diamondbacks’ lead to 4-2. Arizona’s bullpen held the Phillies’ scoreless the rest of the game to earn the victory and a trip to the World Series.

The Diamondbacks will face the Texas Rangers, who defeated the Houston Astros in the ALCS. Arizona returns to the World Series for the first time since 2001, when they defeated the New York Yankees.

The 2023 World Series is scheduled to begin on Friday with Game 1 at the Rangers’ Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
