A limited-time, blush-hued “Clueless” suite at the L’Ermitage Beverly Hills boasts a walk-in closet complete with a Cher-worthy wardrobe curated from Bloomingdale’s by costume designer Mona May, according to the hotel.
A stay in the suite — which features fun details like fuzzy pens, a Polaroid camera and “Clueless”-themed turn-down treats — also comes with a $100 gift card to spend at Bloomingdale’s, a VIP in-store styling appointment, a Dior Beauty makeup session or spa session, and access to a white Jeep Wrangler convertible to cruise around Beverly Hills just like Cher.
From July 12 through Sept. 1, the 750-square-foot suite can be booked starting at $1,995 per night. Guests are given a free membership to Fitted, the official virtual “Clueless” closet app of the movie’s anniversary campaign.
“It’s just bright and happy as Cher would love it,” Mona May told The Hollywood Reporter of the closet she filled with designer pieces. “The moment you walk in there you are transformed into the world of ‘Clueless.’”
While some of the items in the updated wardrobe might not be completely in line with Cher’s aesthetic — Birkenstocks and bucket hats? As if! — other items seem to be direct nods to the film’s classic costuming, including a bright red fringe frock that signals to the Alaïa dress Cher wore during a hold-up in the Valley.
Amy Heckerling’s loose adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Emma” stars Alicia Silverstone as fashionista “virgin who can’t drive” Cher, alongside best friend Dionne (Stacey Dash), ex-stepbrother-turned love interest Josh (Paul Rudd) and new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) finding their footing as teens and young adults.
Speaking to the Daily News in 2020, Heckerling said she was “overwhelmed with how people are always posting different lines” from the beloved film even 25 years later.
]]>On X, the Olympic gold medalist, 28, dubbed 25-year-old Gaines “truly sick” and a “sore loser” after Gaines misgendered a high school softball player.
Gaines earlier quoted a tweet from the Minnesota State High School League, which celebrated “Champlin Park, the Class AAAA Softball State Champion for 2025.”
@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender… https://t.co/pjpzuZ0AlO
— Simone Biles (@Simone_Biles) June 6, 2025
“Comments off lol,” sniped Gaines. “To be expected when your star player is a boy.”
That’s when Biles backflipped in to call out Gaines for “campaigning because you lost a race,” referring to a 2022 NCAA swimming event in which Gaines competed against trans athlete Lia Thomas.
“You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!” Biles continued. “But instead… You bully them… One thing for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”
Though Gaines admitted she was disappointed by Biles’ response, she came back swinging, calling the gymnast a “male-apologist at the expense of young girls’ dreams.”
“It’s not my job or the job of any woman to figure out how to include men in our spaces,” she said. “You can uplift men stealing championships in women’s sports with YOUR platform. Men don’t belong in women’s sports and I say that with my full chest.”
The digital back-and-forth comes just over a year after several college athletes, including Gaines, filed a lawsuit accusing the NCAA of violating Title IX by allowing Lia Thomas to compete in the 2022 swimming national championships in Atlanta. Thomas and Gaines tied for fifth-place during the 200-yard final, though the former ultimately secured the trophy.
]]>The sportscaster, 60, shared the news on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and in a post he penned for ESPN Front Row. Harris is scheduled for surgery on June 10.
“I’ll be away from ‘SportsCenter’ for about a month to recover and then I’m coming back, better than ever,” said Harris, who’s anchored the show since 2015.
Harris said he’s received an “optimistic” prognosis from his doctors and, per his most recent scan, “nothing has spread.”
“Once we take out the prostate, hopefully that’ll be it. That’s the goal,” he noted.
Harris said he went public with the news in part because men often “don’t talk” openly about their health and he hopes to encourage others to have conversations that could potentially be life-saving.
“We all need to talk about these things because we all have them in our families,” said Harris, whose father and cousins also had prostate cancer. “I hate to be morbid but we sentence ourselves to death for not talking.”
In his piece for ESPN Front Row, Harris wrote he was diagnosed with the cancer last month, and while “jarring,” it wasn’t entirely unexpected given his family history and demographic.
“Prostate cancer disproportionately affects Black men,” he said. “It’s something I’ve always been cognizant of, and my doctor and I talk about it every annual visit. And I’m sharing it all with my 26-year-old son. Maybe I’m oversharing at times — lol — but he needs to know.”

]]>The 76th Primetime Emmys, airing live at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC, celebrates the outstanding shows and miniseries that aired from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024.
The FX network leads the nominations with “Shōgun” and “The Bear” earning a whopping 25 and 23 nods, respectively.
But it’s not just about who’s expected to win, but also who should win. Below are the predictions for the night’s biggest awards.
Outstanding Comedy Series
Will win: Toss-up — “Abbott Elementary,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” or “The Bear”
“Abbott Elementary” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” have the added benefit of being genuine comedies, while many argue that “The Bear” — with its tense atmosphere and themes of suicide and depression — is far better suited for the drama categories.
But despite the restaurant-set show running away with many comedy wins at last year’s awards, and being expected to do so again, “Curb” could take the gold given that its most recent season was its last.
Should win: “Abbott Elementary” or “Curb”
The third season of “Abbott Elementary” boasts a perfect 100% critics approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And while the final season of “Curb” doesn’t reach the same heights as earlier years, Larry David remains in top form. The finale — much like the “Seinfeld” one it alludes to — might strain credulity but largely sticks the landing.
Lead Actor (Comedy)
Will win: Jeremy Allen White
What “The Bear” lacks in laughs it makes up for in White’s sophomore season range as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto — a pinch of spice, a dash of vulnerability, and voila. White took home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy last year, and could very likely do it again.
Should win: Jeremy Allen White or Larry David
While White indeed deserves the win, so does Larry David. At 77 years young, the comedian remains a master of improv and subverting audiences’ comfort, while still getting the laugh as an exaggerated version his surly self.
Lead Actress (Comedy)
Will win: Quinta Brunson or Jean Smart
Brunson, the 34-year-old star and creator of “Abbott Elementary,” remains pitch-perfect as second-grade teacher Janine Teagues in the ABC hit. But Jean Smart, at 73 years old, is getting her long-awaited due as stand-up diva Deborah Vance in “Hacks.” The role has twice earned her the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy.
Should win: Quinta Brunson or Jean Smart
Outstanding Drama Series
Will win: “Shōgun” or “The Crown”
The freshman season of “Shōgun” has a 99% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been nominated more than any other series this year. The epic that was originally billed as a limited series, but went over so well it was renewed for two more seasons.
Though “The Crown” has somewhat fallen out of favor since its 2016 premiere, it’s the Netflix saga’s last opportunity to win, which could prove to be the clincher.
Should win: “Shōgun”
Lead Actor (Drama)
Will win: Gary Oldman or Hiroyuki Sanada
Oldman and Sanada are both masters of their craft and are at the heights of their power in “Slow Horses” and “Shōgun” respectively.
Should win: Hiroyuki Sanada
Lead Actress (Drama)
Will win: Imelda Staunton
With the reign of Queen Elizabeth II having come to an end with the final season of “The Crown,” it’s a healthy bet that Staunton will take home the gold this go-round.
Should win: Anna Sawai
Sawai’s performance in “Shōgun” has enticed viewers and critics, in part for its effectiveness through her reservedness. She could and likely should take home the award.
Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series
Will win: “Baby Reindeer”
Richard Gadd’s semi-autobiographical black comedy deals in the gray and dominated the zeitgeist long after it dropped out of the Netflix Top 10. There’s almost no way it won’t win.
Should win: “Ripley”
Another Netflix hit, this Andrew Scott-led take is the first TV adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley” — and a widely lauded one at that.
Lead Actor (Limited Series/Anthology)
Will win: Andrew Scott
The acclaimed actor has long been praised for his range of performances, from villainous Moriarty in “Sherlock” to the sexily pious Hot Priest in “Fleabag.” Still, he’s rarely awarded for his talents, but “Ripley” could finally be his time.
Should win: Andrew Scott
Lead Actress (Limited Series/Anthology)
Will win: Jodie Foster
Foster’s portrayal of a prickly yet protective police officer in the latest installment of “True Detective” is just as dynamic as any of her past efforts, proving she hasn’t skipped a beat over her lengthy career.
Should win: Juno Temple
Temple’s work in the most recent volume of “Fargo” has been somewhat overlooked in the run-up to the Emmys, but her physical and completely captivating performance is deserving of recognition. Should she win, it would be the first time “Fargo” has won an acting award, despite many of its stars being nominated.
]]>The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Saturday ruled in favor of Romanian gymnasts Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea after they protested Chiles’ revised score, which moved the 23-year-old up the ranks to win the bronze medal.
After Chiles earned a score of 13.666 on Monday, her coach filed an appeal with the judges, arguing the gymnast’s difficulty score had been too low. The judges ultimately agreed — specifically regarding a leap that involved a split in the air while turning 540 degrees — and upped her score to 13.766.
The move put Chiles on the podium, while Barbosu, who had originally been awarded the bronze, fell back into fourth place. The review prompted by Team USA also saw Maneca-Voinea’s score reduced by 0.1, after it was determined she stepped out of bounds during her routine.
The Romanian team filed its own appeal in the aftermath of the decision, saying Chiles’ coach filed her appeal four seconds too late. It led the court on Saturday to reverse the earlier ruling and send Chiles’ score back to 13.666.
Later in the day, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), who the CAS said had ultimate say in the final ranking, amended the standings and awarded Barbosu third place.
However, the governing body did not provide information regarding Chiles’ medal — whether she’ll have to give it back or share the bronze with Barbosu. When asked what the amended standings mean for the medals, FIG told The Associated Press that “reallocation of medals is the responsibility of the [International Olympic Committee].”
The IOC had not publicly spoken on the matter or returned a request for comment by early Saturday evening.
USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee issued a joint statement Saturday afternoon, saying they were “devastated” by the CAS ruling.
“The inquiry into the Difficulty Value of Jordan Chiles’ floor exercise routine was filed in a good faith and, we believed, in accordance with FIG rules to ensure accurate scoring,” the statement read.
Both bodies also highlighted the “consistent, utterly baseless and extremely hurtful attacks” leveled against Chiles online.
In the wake on the previous decision, Chiles faced cheating allegations and, as her mother said Friday, was on the receiving end of “racist disgusting comments.”
Joint Statement from USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee regarding the CAS decision on the women’s floor final:
CAS Decision: https://t.co/KR6DYsfxEk pic.twitter.com/r1e6QKmKA4
— USA Gymnastics (@USAGym) August 10, 2024
“No athlete should be subject to such treatment. We condemn the attacks and those who engage, support or instigate them,” the Olympic Committee’s statement said. “We commend Jordan for conducting herself with integrity both on and off the competition floor, and we continue to stand by and support her.”
Chiles on Saturday shared two Instagram Stories in apparent response to the ruling, as well as the backlash.
She first posted four broken-heart emojis, followed by a message saying she would be “removing [herself] from social media for [her] mental health.”
