Chris Pincher seeking professional help after drunken groping claims (The Guardian)

Tory party and PM face mounting pressure over scandal as former deputy chief whip says he respects decision to suspend him.

In his resignation letter, Pincher apologised for his behaviour at the Carlton Club in Piccadilly, London. “Last night I drank far too much. In a statement, the Tamworth MP said: “I respect the prime minister’s decision to suspend the whip whilst an inquiry is under way, and I will cooperate fully with it. He added: “The stresses of the last few days, coming on top of those over the last several months, have made me accept that I will benefit from professional medical support. And that’s not tenable either.” As I told the prime minister, I drank far too much on Wednesday night, embarrassing myself and others and I am truly sorry for the upset I caused.” He said he was “truly sorry” and hoped to return to his duties as an MP “as soon as possible”.

Is Chris Pratt really The Worst Chris, or are we penalizing his ... (Salon)

In a hypothetical competition with Chrises Pine, Evans, and Hemsworth, Pratt perennially scores the lowest. But his designation isn't fourth place. It's "The ...

All of this makes it strange to contemplate Pratt as a case of a man begrudged yet still watched for the same reason: his averageness. Still, even if that's the case, the effort is understandable, since he's on the verge of bringing his time with "The Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Jurassic World" franchise, to win back people he may have lost. Pratt is aware his chemistry read with a significant segment of the public is off, a fact of which we're reminded each time the infamous Contest of the Chrises resurfaces. Instead, he claims Zoe Church as his home congregation, another church whose founder is attached to a 2017 film equating homosexuality with "sexual brokenness." In a hypothetical competition with Chrises Pine, Evans, and Hemsworth, Pratt perennially scores the lowest. Stephen Colbert's openness about his Catholic faith hasn't impacted his fandom in the way it has Pratt. Then again, Colbert never made headlines for being part of a faith community whose pastor has publicly taken an anti-gay stance. It's "The Worst Chris." The Terminal List (Amazon Studios)Even if that's most of what matters to people, however, it's still a grim slog that launches Reece's campaign of violence with a classic fridging and the constant reminder of Pratt's limited acting ability. If nothing else one can appreciate the physical exertion and dedication it must have taken to carve himself into a plausible version of an elite soldier. It's doubtful this vague feeling will hold back "The Terminal List," the new Prime Video series he executive producer and stars in as a Navy SEAL on a revenge mission. In a hypothetical competition with Chrises Pine, Evans, and Hemsworth, Pratt perennially scores the lowest. For a movie star whose signature look may be best described as Above Average Midwestern, Chris Pratt engenders a unique type of passion at the mention of his name.

Baltimore Ravens pass game coordinator and secondary coach Chris Hewitt discussed the value of versatility in the team's secondary.

I’ve always believed in guys that are interchangeable; guys that are able to do different jobs and go out there and go play. They have a plethora of depth in their secondary, and it allows them to play with many different defensive back packages on the field as well as being able to rotate in talent throughout the course of a game. The Baltimore Ravens value versatility in a big way on the defensive side of the ball.

The driver, Chris Darnell, was reportedly racing two planes at around 1:10 pm during the Field of Flight Air Show at Battle Creek Field.

"Blue skies and tail winds to you Chris. My condolences to Neal Darnell and Marilyn Darnell and the entire Shockwave Jet Truck Team. Such a class act and down to earth guy. Having experience on the production side of motorsport events as well as a performer/competitor in motorsports goes a long way towards making each show a success," the SHOCKWAVE and Flash Fire Jet Trucks website says. Darnell, who is the Driver/Pilot of the Flash Fire Jet Truck and the SHOCKWAVE Jet Truck, has been involved in motorsports throughout his life. The Shockwave Jet Truck in question is part of the Darnell Racing Enterprise’s show team. He was passing the area where the pyrotechnic display was set off at the time of the accident. Spectators were heard yelling "no!" as they watched the tragedy unfold at the Fourth of July weekend extravaganza.

Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Adam 'Pacman' Jones knows he's helping to make his late friend, Chris Henry, smile.

On Dec. 16, 2009, Henry fell out of the back of a pickup truck driven by his fiancee Loleini Tonga. Henry sustained injuries to the back of his head that resulted in his death. Still close to Loleini, which is the boys’ mom.” Taking Henry Jr. on that college visit last week was Jones. Both played in the NFL for the Bengals, and their relationship continued until Henry’s death. “He jumped,” she said. He’s already receiving big-time college offers, and Pacman is right there with him on those college visits.

Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo broke his Instagram silence after sharing photos and videos from Ukraine several months after being fired from the network.

It is unclear whether Cuomo is currently working on another project. Cuomo is currently suing CNN for $125 million, citing "unlawful termination" grounds. Cuomo was fired later that week, with the termination "effective immediately." Cuomo went as far as to rely on media sources reporting on his brother's allegations. "Cuomo's Prime Time" proved the network's highest-rated primetime hour show until his termination. Cuomo's post first included a selfie of himself followed by a video and photos inside a bombed building.

It provides cover for politicians who know fine well about colleagues’ behaviour to sit back and do nothing,” she said. “The stresses of the last few days, coming on top of those over the last several months, have made me accept that I will benefit from professional medical support. In a statement at the weekend, Pincher said he respected the prime minister’s decision to remove the whip. It’s clear from what we know this morning that Chris Pincher should never have been put back into the whips’ office.” Same system that said Rob Roberts did nothing wrong also. However, Coffey acknowledged she had not spoken to the prime minister himself.

One of Roberts' most popular videos from the tour has been a TikTok voiceover of her thoughts while playing her biggest song Paramanic, including 'do the kick do the kick', 'why am I so awkward', and 'I can't see shite in this sun'. Other videos show her make-up free doing her laundry, or skittishly preparing for rehearsals to a crowd of five or so friends. I know I'd much rather see famous people engage with audiences truthfully, as Roberts does, than to try to convince us to be their friends, as the People's Chris is still attempting. But it’s clear Roberts is not an out of touch millionaire trying to show the people how she's just like them because she has beer and BBQs, like Pratt's transparent and cringeworthy photoshoot has attempted. You might expect this young success to make her more out of touch with people, but having earned fame through being herself and communicating directly with fans, she has been able to maintain that relatability. Mostly I am tired of the fact Pratt is so desperate to be likeable. Taylor Swift quickly became oversaturated and was forced to disappear and reinvent herself as a loner, after previously reinventing herself as a gal pal after criticism that having three boyfriends in your 20s is just extremely perverted and deranged.
