Yankees head home facing elimination after back-to-back beatdowns in Toronto

TORONTO (AP) — After back-to-back beatdowns in Toronto, the New York Yankees don’t have any margin for error as they head home for Game 3 of the ALDS on Tuesday night.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone put on a brave face after a 13-7 loss Sunday in Game 2 left his team facing elimination.

“Obviously, it feels like the world’s caving in around you, you lose two games like that in their building where it doesn’t go right,” Boone said. “But all of a sudden you go out there and win a ballgame on Tuesday, the needle can change. There’s been a lot of weird things that have happened in baseball this year. This would not be the weirdest, us rallying.”

New York was held hitless through 5 2/3 innings on Sunday, unable to get anything going against Blue Jays rookie Trey Yesavage. The Blue Jays thumped the Yankees 10-1 on Saturday in Game 1.

Toronto’s 23 runs in the ALDS so far are the most by any team in the opening two games of a postseason series. The Yankees scored 22 runs in the first two games of the 2020 Wild Card round against Cleveland.

New York has lost eight of nine in Toronto this season but is 4-2 at home against the Blue Jays.

“We haven’t lost any confidence,” Boone said. “Obviously, they’ve had our number and gotten the better of us so far this year, but I don’t think anyone in our room doesn’t feel like we can’t go out and beat them. We’ve got to play better. We’ve got to pitch and swing it better. But we’re certainly capable of it, and we’ll expect to do that on Tuesday night.”

New York was pushed to the limit by Boston in the Wild Card round and has seen its bullpen tested in the first two games of the ALDS, with seven relievers combining for 10 1/3 innings of work.

“We know where they’re at in terms of their bullpen and everything,” Toronto’s Ernie Clement said about the Yankees. “They just came off a really tough series. It’s really important for us to work them, just make it as tough as possible on them.”

Yankees left-hander Max Fried, who was chased after three-plus innings Sunday, credited the Blue Jays for making it tough on New York’s pitchers.

“They’ve put up good at-bats against us all year,” Fried said. “That’s a good ballclub. They don’t strike out and they put the ball in play and they play good defense. They’re playing their game and they’ve had a good series so far.”

Madhur Bhandarkar objects to Chandni Bar Returns; producers claim legal rights secured

**Madhur Bhandarkar Raises Objection to Title ‘Chandni Bar Returns’; Producers Claim Legal Rights Secured**

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has expressed objections to the use of the title *Chandni Bar Returns* by producer Sandeep Singh and director Ajay Bahl. Bhandarkar, who directed the original *Chandni Bar* (2001) starring Tabu, has lodged a complaint with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA). He claims the makers of the sequel are using his registered title without proper consent.

The 2001 drama, which won multiple National Awards and established Bhandarkar’s name in Indian cinema, remains one of his most acclaimed works. In his complaint, he alleged that the title *Chandni Bar* belongs to him, and that Singh and Bahl have proceeded without authorisation.

Following Bhandarkar’s grievance, IMPPA has reportedly instructed the makers to halt the use of the title until the dispute is resolved.

### Producers Respond with Legal Clarification

In response, Sandeep Singh’s Legend Studios issued an official statement countering Bhandarkar’s claims. The studio asserted that they hold all necessary rights to proceed with the project.

Legend Studios clarified that they acquired the option rights to the title from the original producers of *Chandni Bar*, represented by the late R. Mohan’s wife, Lata Mohan Iyer. She is listed as the proprietor in the Government of India’s Trademark Registry.

Co-producer Vishal Gurnani stated:
“Sandeep Singh’s Legend Studios has acquired the Option Rights of the said title from the Original Producers, who are also the owners of the Registered Trademark and IP rights of the original cult classic *Chandni Bar* (2001). We want to state that no other banner can legally make the said film. Our IP lawyers are replying to the concerned trade associations and are taking all necessary steps to validate and protect our legal rights.”

Additionally, the studio shared the official trademark certificate (Application Number 1662053, Class 41), listing Lata Mohan Iyer as the proprietor, substantiating their claim to the title.

### The Road Ahead for *Chandni Bar Returns*

Despite Bhandarkar’s objection, Legend Studios has confirmed that the sequel is moving forward. Directed by Ajay Bahl, *Chandni Bar Returns* is slated for a worldwide release on December 3, 2026.

The makers describe the film as a reimagined sequel that will retain the essence of the original while presenting a modern, gritty narrative tailored for contemporary audiences. Legend Studios emphasizes its commitment to honoring the legacy of the 2001 classic while ensuring that the production of *Chandni Bar Returns* remains legally compliant and respectful of the original’s cultural impact.

Socceroos’ Bos living the dream at boyhood club

Jordy Bos used to watch Feyenoord highlights. Now, at just 22 years old, he is one of the stars of the show. The Socceroos left-back is dominating for his boyhood club, playing under his former idol, and is just eight months away from potentially featuring in his first World Cup.

Bos, one of the pivotal pieces of the Socceroos’ future, is only just scratching the surface of his promising career. Dutch powerhouse Feyenoord, managed by former Arsenal, Manchester United, and Netherlands striker Robin van Persie, currently sit at the top of the Eredivisie table.

Since joining the Rotterdam giants in July, Bos has become the first Australian to win the Eredivisie Player of the Month award. He has also impressed fans by scoring two sublime goals. The former Melbourne City sensation is reaping the rewards of a carefully managed plan to develop his career and play regularly in Europe.

Even Bos admits he can’t believe how well things have gone since his transfer from Belgian club Westerlo, where he battled two bad hamstring injuries last year.

“When I first went there, I didn’t really know what to expect,” Bos said. “But obviously it’s a big club, so it’s always going to be hard. Before I got there, I heard that the left-back was a little bit injured so I got to play my first game for the Champions League qualifications. From there, it just kept going and then when the other left-back got back, I kept my spot a bit.”

Bos, a Melburnian of Dutch descent, comes from a family of Feyenoord fans.

“Living in Australia when I was younger, it was hard to watch the games, but I remember my dad would always put the highlights on and stuff, so we would watch that,” he said. “It’s a huge deal for my family as well. The ones that live in Holland, I think they were just as excited as I was when they heard about the news. So it’s crazy for them as well, and they always want to come watch the games and stuff like that. So it’s pretty unreal and playing for them is just an honour.”

Bos is also pinching himself that he gets to play under club great Robin van Persie.

“It’s really cool,” he said. “Watching him when I was younger as well and he’s such a big player and icon in the football world. And seeing him in real life and talking to him, and having him there, it’s pretty surreal. I really enjoy it.”

Currently, Bos has joined the Socceroos for upcoming matches against Canada in Montreal on Saturday and the United States in Colorado next Wednesday. These matches provide another chance for him to cement his starting left-back role, especially with stalwart Aziz Behich among the A-League players not selected in this squad.

With a strong World Cup on the horizon and continued impressive performances for both club and country, Bos knows more opportunities could come his way.

“Either Premier League or Bundesliga — probably one of those two,” he said when asked about his future ambitions. “But for right now, obviously, just focusing on where I am. But that’s probably the goal.”

‘A Cruel Person’: Meghan Markle Blasted For Being ‘Inappropriate and Classless’ After She ‘Giggles at Model Stumbling on Catwalk’ During Paris Fashion Week

**Meghan Markle Branded a ‘Cruel Person’ After Laughing at Stumbling Runway Model at Paris Fashion Week**

*Published: October 7, 2025, 2:05 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle has come under fire after being caught on camera laughing at a runway model who stumbled during a recent fashion show, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex paused her promotional activities for her lifestyle brand, As Ever, to attend Paris Fashion Week. She was seated front row at the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2026 show on Saturday, October 4.

### The Incident at Balenciaga

While Markle shared a carefully curated video on Instagram showcasing her preparations and arrival at the controversial luxury brand’s show, a different clip has gone viral for a far less flattering reason.

In the video, Markle appears in a sleek white monochrome outfit, her brunette hair slicked back into a low bun, complemented by minimal makeup and accessories. Her attention is focused on the runway when she reacts physically to something happening out of frame.

Markle’s shoulders shudder, and she makes an “Oh!” expression, quickly covering her mouth with her hand—an action that clearly conceals a laugh. She then leans over and whispers to her friend Markus Anderson.

### Social Media Backlash

The clip sparked a wave of criticism on social media, where users branded the duchess as “a cruel person” and revisited her history of what they termed “inappropriate laughter.”

One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented sarcastically, “Very sympathetic. A real mark of a good person, eh?”

Another reprimanded Markle’s attempt to hide the laughter, writing, “And then she very quickly realized how inappropriate and cruel that was. Too little, too late.”

A third user questioned, “Why does she find such joy in others tripping or falling…”

### Past Incidents Spotlighted

Critics pointed to previous incidents where Markle reportedly laughed at others’ misfortunes, including moments when her young niece, Princess Charlotte, fell while standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony with the Royal Family and was “clearly hurt.”

Others recalled an episode where a guard fell during the Trooping the Colour ceremony.

One user remarked, “Inappropriate laughter (usually at someone else’s misfortune) is the only spontaneous thing Meghan does. All the rest is calculated and performative.”

Another added, “She’s a terrible person. Always laughing at other people’s misfortunes. She laughed at Princess Charlotte. A child.”

### Controversy Surrounding Markle’s Paris Trip

Markle’s visit to Paris has not been well-received on social media overall. In the Instagram video she shared from the Balenciaga show evening, viewers criticized her “bizarre” walk.

More scrutiny came from a seemingly carefree clip where she puts her feet up inside her car as it drives past several famous Parisian bridges—including the Pont Alexandre III and the Pont des Invalides.

Notably, the car also passed the Pont d’Alma, near the Pont d’Alma tunnel—infamous as the site of the 1997 car crash that killed Princess Diana, Prince Harry’s mother.

Many branded Markle’s inclusion of this snippet in her montage as “utterly bewildering” and “insensitive beyond belief.”

Meghan Markle’s actions at Paris Fashion Week and the subsequent social media fallout highlight the ongoing public scrutiny she faces as both a member of the royal family and a public figure pursuing her own ventures.

Bravo Bombshell: ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Star Todd Nepola Files $11Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Network, Claims Show ‘Lied About His Finances For Juicy Storyline’

**Oct. 7, 2025, Published 3:51 p.m. ET**

Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Nepola’s ex-husband, Todd Nepola, is suing Bravo and NBCUniversal, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

In the lawsuit, Todd specifically alleges defamation and unauthorized use of his name and likeness in connection with recent seasons of the show.

### Todd Nepola Alleges Lies About His Finances Were Told

In the filing, Todd states the network told lies about his finances for storylines during Seasons 6 and 7 of *Real Housewives of Miami*, using “manipulated storylines and unauthorized footage.”

Todd claims he is worth $100 million and insists he never bounced a check, missed a payment, or had any financial trouble. However, the show allegedly portrayed him as struggling financially to make Alexia’s storyline more “juicy” for viewers.

### Multiple ‘RHOM’ Episodes Are Called Into Question in Todd Nepola’s Lawsuit

The legal filing calls into question multiple episodes, including one where cast member Adriana de Moura allegedly spread false claims about Todd.

Specifically, Todd referenced allegations suggesting his business was failing and claims that he might have to break his lease and downgrade his apartment.

Todd’s lawyer, Scott J. Weiselberg of Kopelowitz Ostrow Ferguson Weiselberg Gilbert, insists these claims were fabricated and that Bravo knowingly presented misleading information.

During filming, Todd’s side claims he purchased more than $115 million in real estate, all financed legitimately through bank loans.

### Todd ‘Wanted to Be Alexia’s Husband, Not Her Storyline’

The complaint also states that Bravo and NBCUniversal used Todd’s “image and personal storyline without consent.”

“Mr. Nepola wanted to be Alexia’s husband, not her storyline,” the filing notes. “Enough is enough.”

Todd is seeking $10 million in damages for defamation and $1 million for unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Additionally, he requests injunctive relief to prevent further misuse or rebroadcast of his image.

### The Demise of Alexia and Todd’s Relationship

After marrying in December 2021, their marriage fell apart when Todd filed for divorce in April 2024. Alexia was reportedly blindsided by the filing, calling it “shocking and heartbreaking.”

“I will take comfort in the fact that my friends and family will be by my side, supporting me during this difficult time. I’m praying for better times ahead,” she said at the time.

In March 2025, it was confirmed that Alexia and Todd had finalized their divorce.

“After thoughtful reflection, Todd and I have reached an amicable divorce settlement,” Alexia said in a statement. “While our marriage has legally ended, our relationship has not.”

“We continue to love and support each other as we navigate this next chapter,” she added. “We appreciate the understanding, love, and support from our family, friends, and fans.”

Manitobans eager to strike gold on world stage

Already making history earlier this year when she became the first woman to win the Marinelli City Singles bowling tournament, Marissa Naylor-McCall is now bolstering her training routine as she prepares to represent Team Canada at the 2025 International Bowling Federation (IBF) World Championships.

Naylor-McCall is one of two Manitobans representing Canada at the adult level, alongside Mitch Hupe. Both bowlers attended the last world championships in Kuwait in 2023, where every Team Canada bowler brought home a medal. It was a record year for Canada.

“We all brought home a medal which hasn’t happened in many years,” said Naylor-McCall.

This will be Naylor-McCall’s fourth year representing Team Canada as an adult and her second World Championships tournament. She spoke highly of her teammate Hupe, a three-time National Bowler of the Year who returns for his 12th adult year.

“(Hupe) has lived and breathed it his whole life,” she said. “He can basically do it all.”

Hupe bowled at Wichita State in college, one of the most renowned bowling programs in North America, boasting 24 Intercollegiate Team Championships between the men’s and women’s programs. Naylor-McCall noted that Hupe was the anchor for Team Canada during the 2023 IBF World Championships, where the men took home gold in the team event for the first time.

“He’s a phenomenal person but an even better bowler,” she said. “He’s a phenom in the bowling community here in Manitoba.”

Hupe bowls on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour, where Naylor-McCall will be taking her talents beginning next season. Excited for the opportunity, she isn’t letting it distract her from her current goal to win gold in Hong Kong.

“I’m excited for next year, but Hong Kong is definitely the focus for right now,” said Naylor-McCall. “Then we’ll set our eyes on (the PBA tour) next year.”

Team Canada head coach Tyrel Rose, who re-joined the team in late 2023, said the team is eager to fight for their place on the podium.

“There is a bit of a chip on the shoulder,” said Rose. “There’s definitely a bit of a ‘we still want to prove ourselves’ attitude.”

Several countries didn’t participate in the 2023 world championships held in Kuwait for political reasons. Rose added, “I think when you can come in as a world champion and still come in with an underdog mentality, you’re doing something right.”

Rose said he and Naylor-McCall hit the ground running in their professional relationship.

“We kind of hit it off really well as a coach and an athlete,” said Rose. “(Naylor-McCall) is very driven. She works really hard at everything she does, whether it’s her business, bowling, or golf. She’s like a sponge — she just wants all the coaching all of the time.”

He said her leadership is an asset given the women’s team’s lack of experience.

“(Naylor-McCall) brings that kind of professional energy to the team,” said Rose. “To have that leadership — she brings that to the team as if she was a 10-year veteran.”

Rose noted that Hupe, who won a World Masters Gold in 2018, hasn’t lost his touch.

“He’s still grown from there and developed a sense of confidence in himself that he didn’t have five, six, seven years ago,” said Rose. “He really knows what his strengths are and knows how to play to them.”

Rose was an assistant coach for Team Canada from 2009–12, head coached from 2014–18, before taking some time off to spend with his family. He said the connection he shares with his team is invaluable.

“One of the things that’s always driven me is getting to share in this experience with our players,” said Rose. “That kind of emotional connection, the highs and the lows, it’s great.”

Michael Schmidt, executive director of the Manitoba Tenpin Federation, said he expects the two Manitoba veterans to make the province proud in Hong Kong.

“They have experience, they’ve represented Canada numerous times. They know how to get the job done, and I just wish them as much success as possible, to bring home some more gold medals,” said Schmidt.

For Naylor-McCall, bringing home gold in the singles event is high on her priority list. But winning as a team is her biggest wish.

“The ultimate goal always for these events is winning gold in the team event,” she said. “I know on the women’s side we haven’t medalled in the team event for a long time. We just have to trust in the preparation. If we can keep it simple and just do what we do best, I’m sure that getting on the podium will be pretty easy for us.”

The IBF World Championships start in Hong Kong on November 24.
