Soon there will be an opportunity for that to happen again.CBS announced Monday that the superstar singer will be the final guest for the segment on “The Late Late Show” with James Corden.“During their second ‘Carpool’ together — and Corden’s last one as host of THE LATE LATE SHOW — Adele surprises her longtime friend at home in the morning, waking him up and offering to drive the late-night host to work,” according to a press announcement from the show. “Once in the car, Adele then turns the tables on Corden, asking him about past Carpools, pivotal moments in their friendship (including the time he tried, unsuccessfully, to prank her), and even a song she wrote that was inspired by an emotional conversation they shared.”It was this time last year that it was announced Corden would be leaving the late ...

Anthony Rizzo hitting (and getting hit) often for otherwise quiet Yankee lineup

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:38:18 GMT

Friday’s game between the Yankees and Blue Jays grew contentious in the top of the ninth inning when Greg Weissert hit Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a pitch.The Toronto superstar admired a home run earlier in the Blue Jays’ win, but there was no real reason to believe the Yankees’ erratic righty plunked the slugger on purpose. Still, Guerrero stared the young pitcher down and slowly walked to first base. Anthony Rizzo took exception to that and let Guerrero know. Some jawing followed, but the incident never escalated beyond that.“He’s not trying to hit him there. We’re not trying to hit him. Just play baseball. I’ve been hit many a times in this game,” said Rizzo, adding that he just wanted to defend Weissert. “Very rarely am I ever staring at someone when I know, absolutely, it’s not intentional at all.”Indeed, Rizzo has been hit “many a times” – 205 to be exact. No active big leaguer has been plunked ...

Give RJ Barrett his flowers. He deserves the bouquet.No Knick this season has been more scrutinized and dissected than Barrett, who was burdened by higher expectations in his fourth year and largely floated under them.On the team hierarchy, Barrett’s shooting struggles left him, without question, a third and unreliable option behind Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. After Barrett missed 19 of his 25 shots in the first two games against Cleveland, Stephen A. Smith told his immense audience on ESPN’s First Take, “RJ Barrett, you might need to sit him down. He might need to sit down for this series.“Every series ain’t for everybody,” Smith added. “The great ones, the really, really good ones, they can play in any series. But there are others – you just don’t have that kind of game. And RJ for this series, he don’t need to be seeing the floor. He ain’t made for this series. He just don’t have that kind of game.”...

York police join GTA officers warning of pizza delivery scam

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:38:18 GMT

A message from another Ontario police force: be wary of the pizza delivery scam taking hold across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).York Regional Police are warning of an increase in the ongoing crime after investigators in Toronto recently issued a similar plea to residents to be extra vigilant if approached by suspects claiming to need cash to pay for pizza.Typically, a suspect approaches a victim posing as someone who ordered a pizza delivered by a second suspect posing as the delivery person.It’s alleged that two suspects tell the victim that the delivery person only accepts debit cards and won’t take cash, convincing the victim to use their debit card.The victim will then receive a fake but similar-looking card, and the suspects use the real one to withdraw money or make purchases.Police say legitimate delivery services accept cash, so it’s likely a scam if someone suspicious tries to convince you otherwise.Toronto police said recently if you’re asked to i...

Guaidó travels to Colombia ahead of conference on Venezuela

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:38:18 GMT

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó on Monday said he crossed the border into Colombia “on foot” to seek a meeting with international delegations gathering there for a conference focused on his country’s political crisis.Guaidó, one of the most recognizable figures of Venezuela’s opposition and a presidential hopeful, announced his trip to Colombia in a statement. His campaign told The Associated Press he crossed the border through one of the bridges connecting the neighboring South American countries.After the re-election of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in 2018 was deemed a sham by dozens of countries, Guaidó declared himself Venezuela’s interim president in 2019. However, his popularity has waned since then and opposition lawmakers voted in January to strip him of that role and instead appoint a committee to run what they call their “interim government.”Tuesday’s international conference organized by Colombian President Gustavo Petro is meant ...

Speaker McCarthy faces big test as debt bill heads for vote

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:38:18 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker Kevin McCarthy is hurtling toward one of the most consequential weeks of the new House Republican majority as he labors to pass a partisan package that would raise the nation’s debt limit by $1.5 trillion in exchange for steep cuts that some in his own party oppose.McCarthy has almost no room for error with his slim five-seat majority hold on power in the House, but has scoffed at the drama bearing down on him, mocking public interest at the will-he-or-won’t-he anticipation of the embattled Republican speaker’s ability to bring his fellow Republicans in line. But the political stakes are sky-high for McCarthy, who is trying to entice President Joe Biden to the negotiating table. The nation is teetering toward a debt default crisis, needing to lift the borrowing cap to keep fully paying the bills in a matter of weeks. “We will hold a vote this week, and we will pass it,” McCarthy vowed in a Sunday interview on Fox News.Even if M...
