Though McNally later lifted the ban after Corden apologized, many social media users have brought up other instances when they said Corden had behaved inappropriately. These examples were used as examples that Corden is not always the affable entertainer he presents himself to be on camera. Moments that have been referenced are comments he made during a British awards show in 2008, as well as an onstage encounter with Sir Patrick Stewart a couple of years later....

And the British TV personality has now revealed that his favorite episode of all the dozens he has since recorded was with none other than the legendary Sir Paul McCartney. In an interview with Bill Whittaker of 60 Minutes, the talk show host was asked what his favourite Carpool Karaoke was, to which he responded: “Well, there’s so many. I mean, doing it with Paul McCartney will probably take some beating from me personally....

Following eight seasons in Houston where he established himself as a superstar and won an MVP award, Harden was traded to the Nets at the start of the 2020-21 season. His time in Brooklyn was short-lived, as he was traded to the 76ers midway through the 2021-22 season. Will Harden’s time in Philadelphia also be short-lived? He has one more season on his contract, but it’s a player option, making him a potential unrestricted free agent this offseason....

Amid trade rumors, James Harden was a no-show at Rockets practice recently, deciding to show up to team activities late and finally taking the court on Monday night in his 2020-21 debut with Houston. He played 21 minutes and scored 12 points in the W. Harden’s arrival wasn’t actually what grabbed people’s attention, though — rather, a photo circulating on Twitter at the start of the game had people noticing that Harden, not always known for having the best physique, might actually have been sipping a bit too much egg nog this holiday season before lacing up for the Rockets....

With just under a week remaining before the 2022 NBA trade deadline, The Athletic’s Shams Charania broke the news that the 76ers are expected to pursue Harden in the coming days and that the Nets are now “believed to be open to discussing a deal” involving the nine-time All-Star and Ben Simmons. While Charania added the Nets feel no urgency to make a deal, less than 24 hours later, The Athletic’s Alex Schiffer reported “a source with knowledge of Harden’s thinking said he’s frustrated in general with his Nets tenure....

“I’ve accumulated so many experiences you can’t put in a box,” Jones said Thursday, a day before his Cavs tried to even the NBA Finals in Game 4 vs. the Warriors. “I’m not very sentimental about basketball objects.” MORE: Ranking every Finals rematch, from 1953 to LeBron Jones was already on the Heat when LeBron James and Chris Bosh arrived, and he stuck with them for all four trips to the NBA Finals from 2011 to 2014....

Morosini wrote, directed and stars in the film as Franklin, a troubled young man who cuts off communication with his father, Chuck (played by Patton Oswalt). This action sets off a comedic, cringey yet somehow heartwarming chain of events, leaving Chuck with no other choice but to create a fake profile just to have some kind of communication with his son. “The heart of it was the motor throughout [the film], we needed to really understand why Chuck was catfishing his son, and that he’s doing it potentially to try to save his son’s life,” Morosini told Newsweek’s Parting Shot....

Williams caught a deep pass down the middle from Bryce Young but turned awkwardly after he made the reception, which went for 40 yards to the Georgia 35-yard line. He immediately reached for his left knee after hitting the turf, and he could not put any weight on the leg as he walked to the sideline. Williams was eventually able to walk on his own from the medical tent to the Alabama locker room....

Meadows has refused to testify before the committee in open defiance of a subpoena to do so. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said Tuesday the committee “won’t rush the effort” to hold Meadows in contempt. To this point, Meadows has declined to provide lawmakers with any information about his communications on the day the Capitol was attacked. The lawyer for Meadows is arguing his client will be protected by Trump asserting executive privilege on the matter....

Troy Nehls told Newsweek the shadow panel’s report will focus on a lack of preparation from Capitol Police chiefs and the failure to deploy the National Guard at the Capitol, rather than look at the actions of rioters or former President Trump. The Representative from Texas is one of five Republicans in the party’s shadow panel conducting their own interviews and inquiries about January 6, to build a counter report to the House investigation ahead of the midterms in November....

The effects of Hitachi’s announcement won’t be felt for some time: Hitachi says that it won’t have 64-megabit chips available commercially until 1995. Individual U.S. companies have also been working toward higher-density DRAM chips, but cooperative efforts have been troubled so far. One such attempt, the planned U.S. Memories consortium, fell apart late in 1989; the other, Austin-based Sematech, has proved slow off the blocks. It suffered another blow last week when its chief executive, Robert N....

That may be a bit of an overstatement. But Onishi’s runny nose is yet another reminder of the ills afflicting Japan’s woeful economy. The prevalence of kafunsho is a direct result of decades of poor timber planning: as the country built itself into a powerhouse after World War II, vast tracts of natural-growth forest were replaced with cedar for construction. Now the bottom has dropped out of cedar prices because of slackening demand, meaning loggers have little incentive to cut down the trees....

“Medical systems are on the verge of collapse,” Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura said during a press conference on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.

FBI agents raided Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, residence on August 8 to search for documents Trump allegedly took from the White House. In total, they seized about 20 boxes of classified documents. Following the search, some commentators have speculated that Trump’s children or Kushner, the husband of his daughter Ivanka Trump, may have tipped off the FBI. Despite these rumors, Kushner said during a Fox News appearance on Sunday that he and Ivanka Trump recently played golf with the former president following the search....

Kushner — President Donald Trump’s son-in-law who has amassed a large portfolio of high profile responsibilities over the past three years — has emerged as a leading figure in the White House’s COVID-19 strategy, assisted by a team of private sector associates with limited government experience. The Times spoke with a government official who described Kushner’s team — reportedly dubbed the “Slim Suit Crowd” for their dress sense — as being like a “frat party” that arrived by U....

Characterizing the President as frustrated with the lack of progress done so far on the wall, the Post says that Kushner also convenes biweekly meetings at the White House, where he tracks contractor data, spending matters and location issues, including encouraging 800 filings demanding the seizure of private property so the barrier might be built. He has described himself as being “in charge” of the wall, according to aides....
