More info I'm A Celebrity fans spotted a surprising detail about Dean McCullough during the latest episode of the popular reality series. The campmates were forced to ride the Fright Bus in the opening segment of Tuesday's episode (November 26), with every single contestant taking a seat on a bus and given a very unpleasant ride. However, most viewers were distracted by Dean's behaviour during the challenge as some even accused the Radio 1 host of 'faking it'. It comes after Dean earned the public vote to undergo a Bushtucker trial five times in a row. He even uttered the infamous phrase 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' twice and during one attempt earned zero stars. Although during his latest attempt he managed double figures for the first time. However, while most the celebrities were constantly screaming, Dean was relatively calm, much to the surprise of many watching on from home. One fan said: "Dean screaming the least? Is he ok?". Another viewer posting on social media added: "Na the difference in Dean doing the fright bus compared to the trials is actually embarrassing! Just shows how much he’s been overdramatic and playing on it for the camera time/attention!". While a third posted: "Suddenly Dean has no fear .... cementing the suspicion of his dramatics being faker than that of a premier league footballer." One fan commented that it was a ploy to gain the public vote as they said: "Oh Dean has just proved all our points he was doing it all to get the votes to do the trails to get the screen time." Following the campmates performance on the Fright Bus, many now predict that Tulisa will receive the public vote for the next Bushtucker trial as Barry had to constantly help brush critters off her. During I'm A Celebrity Unpacked it was revealed that Maura and Jane would face the Bushtucker trial. The latest challenge was dubbed the Fright at the end of the Tunnel. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX followed by Unpacked on ITV2
Will Missouri Be the Next State to Ban Phones in School?LINCOLN — It was easier to take a charge back then, and Steven Ashworth tried as often as he could. Every day was a competition in practice for Utah State’s freshman point guards, Ashworth and Rollie Worster. They came from different backgrounds. Ashworth was a knockdown shooter. Worster, once a high school quarterback, was bigger and burlier. But the skinny Ashworth had timing and willingness to take a hit from Worster’s 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame. It was a common sight and emblematic of their contrasting approaches challenging one another, forcing development. Worster and Ashworth were only teammates for one season, which ended in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Four years, three trips into the transfer portal and 188 games later, their paths again converge in Omaha on Friday, likely for the last time in their college careers as Worster’s Nebraska plays Ashworth’s Creighton at 7 p.m. inside CHI Health Center. “You always hear it’s a small world," Worster said, 'but especially in athletics it’s really small." Said Ashworth: “Obviously, we’ve followed each other’s careers, and we started off together in the same spot then went our separate ways. But a lot of respect for him and his game, and (I’m) excited to see him on Friday.” Worster came to Utah State as the two-time Montana Gatorade Player of the Year. Ashworth, originally from Lone Peak, Utah, had just finished a two-year mission in Indianapolis for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He progressed rapidly over the course of his freshman season, settling back in the daily grind of basketball. Rarely did they share the floor during games. Of Utah State’s 10 most used lineups that season, two of them included both, according to KenPom. The combinations added up to 6% of the Aggies’ total minutes. With Ashworth on the court, the Aggies often pushed the pace. Worster was slower, more methodical. But Worster got an up-close look at Ashworth from playing on opposite teams in practice and watching when Ashworth ran the offense. Worster tried to learn from his teammate’s shooting ability. He watched the way Ashworth moved when he had the ball, the high basketball IQ of someone who was small even by Mountain West point guard standards. “Some nights were my night, some nights were his, and I think just being able to grow from each other,” Worster said. “We both had freshman mistakes and a little bit different playing styles, but I think just to see how you watch everyone play and pick up on things or see things that maybe you do or don’t do that you can get better at.” The Aggies made the NCAA tournament as an 11 seed, falling to Texas Tech in Bloomington, Indiana, an hour from where Ashworth had completed his mission. Then they scattered. USU coach Craig Smith, a former Nebraska assistant, took a new job at the University of Utah. Worster joined Smith while Ashworth played at Utah State for another two years, leaving for Creighton after the 2022-23 season. Life, in Utah and Nebraska, has gone on for both. Worster transferred to Nebraska in April to finish his college career at his third school. Ashworth is now married and has a son. They’ve stayed in occasional contact in the four years since, sometimes running into each other in Utah airports. Friday will serve a full-circle moment, one more connection to their previous lives. “We’ve talked a little bit,” Worster said. “We’re rivals now so it’s a little different, but I just wish him the best success going forward.”Lake County officials on Monday renewed their plea that state agencies resolve the institutional logjams that are hobbling the local justice system. District Court Judges Molly Owen and John Mercer hosted the meeting where local prosecutors and defense attorneys gave state lawmakers and a state attorney a gutting perspective of the criminal justice system's overlapping crises caused by backlogs at state institutions. Montana State Hospital, the "safety net" facility for people who are involuntarily committed due to severe mental health needs, recently told Owen they would no longer be accepting patients on an immediate basis. For criminal defendants who need evaluations in order to be prosecuted, the wait times are so long that Owen said she has been compelled to dismiss their cases. Lake County criminal justice stakeholders meet to discuss institutional logjams that are hobbling the local justice system on Monday, Nov. 25. "This was a criminal case with a victim," she told the group of a recent case she dismissed. "It's not something I wanted to dismiss and people will disagree with what I did, but (the defendant) is sitting in a jail, she's mentally ill and we released her to fend for herself, basically." Jail populations are another weave in the criminal justice quagmire. County jails are overcrowded because the state's prison system is overloaded. Corrections officials continue to send male inmates to a private prison facility out of state , and still hundreds of people who have been convicted wait in county facilities for a state prison bed to open up. Lake County Sheriff Don Bell described not pursuing suspects who are wanted on warrants simply because of overcrowding. As of Monday, the Lake County jail held 16 state-custody inmates in their 42-bed facility. "If it's someone who's violent, we'll try to make room," Bell said. "But then we push over our limit that we're supposed to be at." "When you let people just wander around for four years with warrants, they generally get worse," County Attorney James Lapotka said. The Montana Department of Corrections does pay counties a per diem to hold state-custody inmates in local jails, but it doesn't cover the cost. Lake County gets roughly $89 per inmate per day from the state. But the cost of housing inmates is actually $137 per day. However, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, which oversees the Montana State Hospital where people are involuntarily committed, does not reimburse county jails for holding those patients before they can be seen at the psychiatric facility, Lapotka noted. Chad Parker, chief legal counsel for DPHHS, appeared by video to represent the department at Monday's meeting. "The problems you have annunciated are very familiar with us," he said. "I don't know if people believe this when we say this or not, but our hearts are breaking over this, too." Parker and a handful of legislators raised the near-term initiatives approved in the last year from the state's new behavioral health commission, staffed by stakeholders, lawmakers and agency heads converging in attempts to find gaps and use the initiatives to fund short-term solutions. The mental health evaluations for criminal cases, for example, can now be done in community settings with grant funding from the state. But that money was approved almost a year ago , and the conversation in Monday's meeting was largely a replay from one of the commission's hearings in 2023. But, as it was described at the outset of the behavioral health commission's work, it will take a great deal of time to fix a long-broken system, officials said Monday. Part of the commission's $300 million budget includes planning out new psychiatric care facilities, although details of that proposal have yet to take shape. The 2025 Legislature, which has so far handled the matter in bipartisan fashion, will be tasked with keeping this project on that long-term pace. Rep. Bob Keenan, R-Bigfork, has steered the commission thus far but did not seek reelection this year. A handful of holdover lawmakers in attendance Monday reiterated their grasp on the issues and renewed their commitment to the work ahead. Sen. Greg Hertz, R-Polson, has been in the Legislature for 10 years and said he's likely to retire after the end of his four-year term to which he was just elected. "I've never spent a lot of time in DPHHS or DOC issues, I'm going to change that," he told local officials near the conclusion of Monday's meeting. "Living here, and looking all around the state, it's really become a huge issue. ... I will dedicate my next four sessions to helping out. I promise to make that commitment."

Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen has no shortage of memories of the Iowa football program. An Iowa native born in Davenport, Holgorsen’s days as a Hawkeye fan are long in the past — but he remembers what it’s like to coach against them. An experience that Holgorsen first underwent as a young Texas Tech assistant in 2001 will be reprised again this weekend. “Twenty-some years later, it’s the same scheme, the same coach, the same everything; this is crazy,” Holgorsen said of Iowa. “It’s going to take another good effort and more improvement to be able to go to Iowa and play in that atmosphere against a good football team.” Nebraska’s recent surge on offense will have the Huskers feeling confident about their upcoming matchup. While Nebraska may not have equaled its recent 44-point outburst against Wisconsin during a loss to USC two weeks prior, foundational improvements were there from the start in Holgorsen’s eyes.

And when NU hit the field on Saturday, improvements were there. After struggling to finish drives against USC, Nebraska scored five touchdowns in its seven red zone attempts against Wisconsin. Nebraska threw the ball well, protected its quarterback and found a "difference-maker" in running back Emmett Johnson. “We ran the ball better; that’s the second week in a row I thought the O-line has played well,” Holgorsen said. “Dylan (Raiola) hasn’t been hit a whole lot, he feels good, he’s getting better and processing things well. We’re throwing it and catching it better and our receivers are in the right spots.” It’s been no easy task to drive those improvements in a short amount of time. Holgorsen has only been in Lincoln for a little over three weeks, having first been summoned by head coach Matt Rhule to evaluate the team’s offense before taking over control of it. Midseason coordinator changes may not be rare, but hiring a new face from outside the program is, and Holgorsen admits it made for a “rough” first week on the job. After all, none of the Husker coaches Holgorsen was joining and players he was beginning to coach knew exactly how the situation would play out. Instead, they had to go through it together. “I started getting into the offensive room and those coaches were looking at me crazy like, ‘What are you doing here?’ It’s just true, so we had to sit down and talk and start feeling things out and start working together,” Holgorsen said. “Give those assistant coaches a lot of credit because they didn’t bat an eye. I thought we were smart with how we handled it — I could’ve came in here and changed specific things and that wouldn’t have been the right thing to do for the coaches and the players. I was the one that had to learn.” A desire to challenge himself was one reason Holgorsen said he took the Nebraska job, something which showed up in the new offensive language he needed to familiarize himself with. Having come up as a young coach in the Air Raid offense, Holgorsen exclusively learned, mastered and taught those principles in the years since. It had been 35 years since he last had to learn a new offensive language, Holgorsen estimated. Flash cards with terminology from the Nebraska offense and help from other assistants have helped smooth over that process. Holgorsen may not have been able to stamp his identity all over the offense yet, but he has been able to tweak things, including the very playbook Nebraska operates from. Rhule’s original concepts of a pro-style offense have been added to, transformed and adjusted over the years, with current coaches Marcus Satterfield, Glenn Thomas and Donovan Raiola all bringing different principles and focuses to the playbook. “There’s just all kinds of ideas, so that playbook got pretty big,” Holgorsen said. “I was just like, ‘Look, there’s only one sheet and whatever’s on the sheet is what’s going to get called.’” Trimming down the number of plays Nebraska practices is one such adjustment Holgorsen has made, a process that is collaborative among the Husker coaching staff. Holgorsen also said Nebraska was “probably playing people in too many different spots,” something he’s looked to change so players can focus on their individual roles with more accuracy. “We’ve done a good job of coming together and coming up with a plan of what makes sense to our players,” Holgorsen said. “If it don’t make sense to me, it ain’t gonna make sense to them.” Those changes, and the potential Nebraska showed on offense last week, have excited Husker fans about what the future of a Holgorsen-led offense will look like. However, nothing is guaranteed yet. Holgorsen said that when taking the job he told Rhule he’d get the team ready for USC, Wisconsin and Iowa before figuring out what the future holds. “I don’t want to talk about it, and I don’t want to know what’s next,” Holgorsen. What Holgorsen does know is that he’s enjoying the opportunity in front of him. In part because of the responsibilities he had as a head coach compared to being an offensive coordinator, Holgorsen said he had “more fun on Saturday than I’ve had in a long time” overseeing the Husker offense. As Holgorsen continues furthering improvements within the Nebraska offense, the only guarantee Husker fans have is that he’ll be on the sidelines Friday. It’s currently “the plan” that he will continue as Nebraska’s playcaller during its bowl game, Holgorsen said. “My plan’s to focus on Iowa, try to beat Iowa and see what happens after that.”We are less than two weeks away from the start of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. The playoff field was finalized on Sunday and the first game will kick off on Friday, Dec. 20.

Among elites across the ideological spectrum, there's one point of unifying agreement: Americans are bitterly divided. What if that's wrong? What if elites are the ones who are bitterly divided while most Americans are fairly unified? History rarely lines up perfectly with the calendar (the "sixties" didn't really start until the decade was almost over). But politically, the 21st century neatly began in 2000, when the election ended in a tie and the color coding of electoral maps became enshrined as a kind of permanent tribal color war of "red vs. blue." Elite understanding of politics has been stuck in this framework ever since. Politicians and voters have leaned into this alleged political reality, making it seem all the more real in the process. I loathe the phrase "perception is reality," but in politics it has the reifying power of self-fulfilling prophecy. Like rival noble families in medieval Europe, elites have been vying for power and dominance on the arrogant assumption that their subjects share their concern for who rules rather than what the rulers can deliver. In 2018, the group More in Common published a massive report on the "hidden tribes" of American politics. The wealthiest and whitest groups were "devoted conservatives" (6%) and "progressive activists" (8%). These tribes dominate the media, the parties and higher education, and they dictate the competing narratives of red vs. blue, particularly on cable news and social media. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of Americans resided in, or were adjacent to, the "exhausted majority." These people, however, "have no narrative," as David Brooks wrote at the time. "They have no coherent philosophic worldview to organize their thinking and compel action." Lacking a narrative might seem like a very postmodern problem, but in a postmodern elite culture, postmodern problems are real problems. It's worth noting that red vs. blue America didn't emerge ex nihilo. The 1990s were a time when the economy and government seemed to be working, at home and abroad. As a result, elites leaned into the narcissism of small differences to gain political and cultural advantage. They remain obsessed with competing, often apocalyptic, narratives. That leaves out most Americans. The gladiatorial combatants of cable news, editorial pages and academia, and their superfan spectators, can afford these fights. Members of the exhausted majority are more interested in mere competence. I think that's the hidden unity elites are missing. This is why we keep throwing incumbent parties out of power: They get elected promising competence but get derailed -- or seduced -- by fan service to, or trolling of, the elites who dominate the national conversation. There's a difference between competence and expertise. One of the most profound political changes in recent years has been the separation of notions of credentialed expertise from real-world competence. This isn't a new theme in American life, but the pandemic and the lurch toward identity politics amplified distrust of experts in unprecedented ways. This is a particular problem for the left because it is far more invested in credentialism than the right. Indeed, some progressives are suddenly realizing they invested too much in the authority of experts and too little in the ability of experts to provide what people want from government, such as affordable housing, decent education and low crime. The New York Times' Ezra Klein says he's tired of defending the authority of government institutions. Rather, "I want them to work." One of the reasons progressives find Trump so offensive is his absolute inability to speak the language of expertise -- which is full of coded elite shibboleths. But Trump veritably shouts the language of competence. I don't mean he is actually competent at governing. But he is effectively blunt about calling leaders, experts and elites -- of both parties -- stupid, ineffective, weak and incompetent. He lost in 2020 because voters didn't believe he was actually good at governing. He won in 2024 because the exhausted majority concluded the Biden administration was bad at it. Nostalgia for the low-inflation pre-pandemic economy was enough to convince voters that Trumpian drama is the tolerable price to pay for a good economy. About 3 out of 4 Americans who experienced "severe hardship" because of inflation voted for Trump. The genius of Trump's most effective ad -- "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you" -- was that it was simultaneously culture-war red meat and an argument that Harris was more concerned about boutique elite concerns than everyday ones. If Trump can actually deliver competent government, he could make the Republican Party the majority party for a generation. For myriad reasons, that's an if so big it's visible from space. But the opportunity is there -- and has been there all along.The Las Vegas Raiders (2-10) next have a road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-6) at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday, December 8, 2024.

Brooks Nader left her bra at home for a steamy date with her former “Dancing with the Stars” partner-turned-boyfriend Gleb Savchenko in Los Angeles Friday night. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model also left little to the imagination as she paired her completely transparent sheer shirt with a form-fitting pencil skirt and matching blue pinstripe blazer. She finished off her outfit with a braided black belt, a black purse and pointed-toe heels. Nader, 28, accessorized with gold jewelry, including a watch and hoop earrings. She also sported a dazzling rock on her left ring finger — although it appears to be one she’s worn out before. This wasn’t the first time Nader was spotted rocking a nearly-nude look. In October, she wore a barely-there purple sheer dress that featured a plunging neckline and an extra-low cut back, plus a thigh-high slit. Savchenko, 41, for his part, looked ready for a cozy date in baggy black jeans and a matching mock-neck shirt worn under an unzipped bomber jacket. The couple was spotted walking hand-in-hand while heading out of a West Hollywood eatery. Their elusive relationship has made headlines since early September, when they shared several flirty videos on social media to promote Season 33 “Dancing With the Stars.” Though Savchenko denied to Page Six that anything was going on between them at the time, their eventual PDA told fans otherwise. For instance, the pair was caught locking lips backstage on the dance competition show in late September and they did not hide their makeout session while getting tattoos together in October. Later that month, however, Nader implied the pro dancer broke up with her even though she didn’t know they were officially together. Weeks later, their romance appeared to be back on when they stepped out for date night at Chateau Marmont and then couldn’t keep their hands off of each other at the “DWTS” finale rehearsals. The Wilhelmina International model and Savchenko have never confirmed their relationship status. However, they spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together — with Savchenko even sharing a snap of them locking lips after the latter holiday.Netflix 's spy thriller, Black Doves , premiered on December 5 to a largely positive reception. Interestingly, it was renewed for a second season ahead of the first season premiere. The show stars Keira Knightley , Ben Whishaw, and Sarah Lancashire and work on the second installment is already underway. Here's what you can expect from the upcoming season. 'Black Doves' Season 2: Potential plot and character developments The first season ended with shocking revelations about the murder of Helen's (Knightley) lover Jason (Andrew Koji) and his real identity as an MI5 Agent. The finale also featured a nail-biting showdown between Helen and Trent, the son of crime family head Alex Clark (Tracey Ullman). However, it's still unclear how they'll affect Season 2's plot. Showrunner Joe Barton has teased deeper entanglements for Helen in the spy world as her husband Wallace's (Andrew Buchan) political career progresses. 'Black Doves' Season 2: Cast and character returns The second season of Black Doves will likely see most main cast members return. This includes Whishaw as Sam, Lancashire as Reed, Omari Douglas as Michael, Ella Lily Hyland as Williams, Gabrielle Creevy as Eleanor, Isabella Wei as Kai-Ming and Kathryn Hunter as Lenny. Showrunner Barton has also teased possible new alliances and conflicts among these characters in the next season. The possibilities for supporting characters Speaking about the supporting characters, Barton said, "You could definitely see them [Williams, Eleanor and Kai-Ming] forming a little group..." "Kai-Ming would have to stop being a heroin addict party girl, probably," he added. "Maybe they could start their own little assassin agency working out of their canal boat. I'd like to see that." 'Black Doves' Season 2: Release date and production status The release date remains unannounced by Netflix. Notably, the first season was part of a rare two-season order from Netflix. Barton earlier told Deadline , "It's a different kind of pressure now. When you do a show you are always wanting it to do well to get a second season but now they've already let us come back the pressure is about hoping it does well to reward that faith."OpenAI's controversial Sora is finally launching today.
