Lindsay Lohan has found "a whole new world" in motherhood. Login or signup to continue reading The 38-year-old actor, who has 16-month-old Luai with husband Bader Shammas, enjoyed a hugely successful career as a teen star in Hollywood. She stepped away from the industry and navigated a series of personal problems in the year that followed. When asked what had brought her "sparkle" back, admitted it was probably her son. "I think a lot of it has to do with becoming a mom. It's just a whole new world, and every day is exciting in a different way with my son, Lohan said on The Today Show with Hoda and Jenna. "Yeah, I think definitely when you're good on the inside, that shows through." The Our Little Secret star also revealed that she has created a tradition with her son in that she takes his picture "every single morning" just as he wakes up. "I have this thing. Since my son was born, I take a picture of him every single morning the second he wakes up. And I like can't miss it, so I need to be on his schedule," she said. But the Mean Girls actor admitted having no idea what she is planning to do with the photos, and her husband points out she will have to carry out the same ritual with her next child, should she have one. "I don't know, I was just talking about that with my husband. The other day he's like 'You know there's like thousands of them', And then he's like, 'You're going to have to do that for the next kid too, right?'. I'm like, well that's a whole other story," she said. Australian Associated Press DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team. Also includes evening update.

2025’s social media predictions
Don't write the obituary of the lunch hour just yetNoneAnge Postecoglou has opened up on the exasperation he feels at the softness of his Tottenham team in particular moments, which he suggested was linked to mentality. The manager refuses to believe there is an “institutionalised” reason for the club to fall short of their targets and said he would never “palm off responsibility to whatever we’re going through to things that have existed in the past”. But as he looked forward to Sunday’s derby at home to Chelsea, he lingered on the frustration of Thursday’s 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth . After it, some of the travelling support directed abuse at him. What drove Postecoglou to distraction was how, after a reasonable start, his team conceded at the first sign of pressure – allowing Dean Huijsen a free run to head in from a 17th-minute corner. It was Spurs’ third loss in six Premier League games, each against teams that started below them; relegation-threatened Crystal Palace and Ipswich inflicted the others. Spurs, who are 10th, have beaten fourth-placed Manchester City and eighth-placed Aston Villa during the sequence. They drew with Fulham, who are sixth. “The key is to understand that Bournemouth is not a ‘lesser’ team,” Postecoglou said. “They have beaten City and Arsenal at home. We prepared ourselves for a tough game, that was going to be tougher than any other game we were going to face. “And the disappointing thing is that in a game where we started well, we once again allowed the opposition to play the game on their terms by us lacking discipline and conviction in a key moment. We can’t keep doing that.” Postecoglou was asked whether it was a physical issue, one to do with mentality or a mixture of things. “It’s a bit of everything but it can’t be a physical thing when it happens early in the game,” he replied. “We started well. And literally the first time they go up, they get a set piece and they score an unopposed header. You can’t go into a game like that and allow the opposition then to take control. “It doesn’t sit well with me. Nor should it. I’m not going to accept it. My responsibility is to change that because if we’re going to get to where I want us to get to, we need to break that cycle of not showing the belief and resilience in key moments. “Nothing’s changed in terms of my resolve to play the football I want to play. It’s just that we haven’t understood the other side of that and that’s the discipline and resilience to overcome difficult moments so that football we have can come through.” When Spurs prepared for last season’s home fixture with Chelsea at the beginning of November, they were top of the league with eight wins and two draws from 10 games. On a wild night, they sustained two injuries and had two men sent off and still carried the fight, the defining image coming when seven of their outfield players pushed up on the halfway line as Chelsea attacked. Spurs lost 4-1 , the final two Chelsea goals scored in stoppage time, but Postecoglou’s team were applauded off. Nobody would see the positives in a defeat this time because the climate has changed, the mood as edgy as Spurs have been inconsistent. Including that Chelsea game, Spurs’ record in the league since then reads: W18 D6 L18. “It’s about winning but it’s about belief in what you’re doing sometimes,” Postecoglou said. “You look beyond the results. That’s what happened at the start of my tenure last year. We lost against Chelsea but there was a sense that we were building something. Obviously it kind of went off the rails after that game. It’s not just about winning but where we are right now it will certainly help.” Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Postecoglou said two weeks ago that if Spurs were 10th at Christmas, there would be “a lot of scrutiny” around his position. They go to Southampton in the league next Sunday before hosting Liverpool on the Sunday after that. The injuries have piled up, Ben Davies the latest to go down, to a hamstring problem at Bournemouth. Postecoglou would like to welcome back Cristian Romero, who is scheduled to train on Saturday as he tries to overcome toe and hamstring problems. Postecoglou said he had not yet worked out why the team had been so erratic. “We will keep searching for those answers. Some of it is just around having a competitive squad where there is competition for places which keeps people on edge and we don’t have that at the moment. We haven’t had that for a while. Within the absence of that, we have to find other ways to make sure the players are clear on their responsibilities.” Postecoglou is clear that the bucks stops with him. He said if there was doubt – “whether that’s internally or externally” – it only hardened his resolve to get it right. On the other hand, it was plainly better if the fans backed him; otherwise the culture would become toxic. “Sometimes it doesn’t work out that way so I’ve got to find a way to make that happen.”

A judge on Monday rejected a request to block a San Jose State women's volleyball team member from playing in a conference tournament on grounds that she is transgender. The ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews in Denver will allow the player, who has played all season, to compete in the Mountain West Conference women's championship opening this week in Las Vegas. The ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by nine current players against the Mountain West Conference challenging the league's policies for allowing transgender players to participate. The players argued that letting her compete was a safety risk and unfair. While some media have reported those and other details, neither San Jose State nor the forfeiting teams have confirmed the school has a trans woman volleyball player. The Associated Press is withholding the player's name because she has not commented publicly on her gender identity. School officials also have declined an interview request with the player. Crews' ruling referred to the athlete as an "alleged transgender" player and noted that no defendant disputed that the San Jose State roster includes a transgender woman player. San Jose State will "continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms," the university said in a statement, confirming that all its student-athletes are eligible to participate under NCAA and conference rules. "We are gratified that the Court rejected an eleventh-hour attempt to change those rules. Our team looks forward to competing in the Mountain West volleyball tournament this week." The conference said it was “satisfied” with the judge's decision and would continue upholding policies established by its board of directors, which “directly align with NCAA and USA Volleyball.” “We are excited to proceed with the Mountain West Conference Women's Volleyball Championship,” its statement added. The players filed a notice for emergency appeal with the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Crews said the players who filed the complaint could have sought relief much earlier, noting the individual universities had acknowledged that not playing their games against San Jose State this season would result in a loss in league standings. He also refused a request to re-seed the tournament without the forfeited losses. The judge said injunctions are meant to preserve the status quo. The conference policy regarding forfeiting for refusing to play against a team with a transgender player had been in effect since 2022 and the San Jose State player has been on the roster since 2022 -– making that the status quo. The player competed at the college level three previous seasons, including two for San Jose State, drawing little attention. This season's awareness of her reported identity led to an uproar among some players, pundits, parents and politicians in a major election year. Crews' ruling also said injunctions are meant to prevent harm, but in this case, he argued, the harm has already occurred. The games have been forfeited, the tournament has been seeded, the teams have made travel plans and the participants have confirmed they're playing. The tournament starts Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday. Colorado State is seeded first and San Jose State, second. The teams split their regular-season matches and both get byes into Friday's semifinals. San Jose State will play the winner of Wednesday's match between Utah State and Boise State — teams that both forfeited matches to SJSU during the regular season. Boise State associate athletic director Chris Kutz declined to comment on whether the Broncos would play SJSU if they won their first-round tournament game. Utah State officials did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The conference tournament winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. San Jose State coach Todd Kress, whose team has not competed in the national tournament since 2001, has said his team has been getting "messages of hate" and that has taken a toll on his players. Several teams refused to play against San Jose State during the season, earning losses in the official conference standings. Boise State and Wyoming each had two forfeits while Utah State and Nevada both had one. Southern Utah, a member of the Western Athletic Conference, was first to cancel against San Jose State this year. Nevada's players stated they "refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes," without elaborating. Nevada did not qualify for the conference tournament. The nine current players and others now suing the Mountain West Conference, the California State University Board of Trustees and others include San Jose State senior setter and co-captain Brooke Slusser. The teammate Slusser says is transgender hits the volleyball with more force than others on the team, raising fear during practices of suffering concussions from a head hit, the complaint says. The Independent Council on Women's Sports is funding a separate lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports. Both lawsuits claim the landmark 1972 federal antidiscrimination law known as Title IX prohibits transgender women in women's sports. Title IX prohibits sexual discrimination in federally funded education; Slusser is a plaintiff in both lawsuits. Several circuit courts have used a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to conclude that discriminating against someone based on their transgender status or sexual orientation is sex-based discrimination, Crews wrote. That means case law does not prove the "likelihood of success" needed to grant an injunction. An NCAA policy that subjects transgender participation to the rules of sports governing bodies took effect this academic year. USA Volleyball says a trans woman must suppress testosterone for 12 months before competing. The NCAA has not flagged any issues with San Jose State. The Republican governors of Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming have made public statements in support of the team cancellations, citing fairness in women's sports. President-elect Donald Trump likewise has spoken out against allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports. Crews was a magistrate judge in Colorado's U.S. District Court for more than five years before President Joe Biden appointed him as a federal judge in January.
