Christie Brinkley has fans mistaking supermodel for daughter in new photos
Christie Brinkley has fans mistaking her for one of her daughters in her recent Instagram post.
The 72-year-old model took to social media to share a carousel of photos of herself posing next to a vintage truck to promote her new zero-sugar prosecco line.
In the photos, Brinkley is wearing a navy blue long-sleeved top with an asymmetrical neckline, paired with matching high-waisted shorts with large gold buttons, showcasing her toned legs.
One of the photos gives a zoomed-in look at the "Parks and Recreation" actress smiling at the camera, while another gives fans a head-to-toe look at the star as she leans on the truck with her eyes closed.

"I thought you were your daughter for a second!" one fan wrote in the comments section, while another added, "Please dear lord let me age like @christiebrinkley."
"Some things get better with age… a fine bottle of wine, a classic F100, and a gorgeous Christie . 🍷❤️🔥" a third fan wrote.
Earlier this year, Brinkley shared a mirror selfie of her in a black bikini top and matching shorts, to show off the "special mirror that took over 20 years to make" from items she found on the beach while in Turks and Caicos.

Fans were once again amazed by Brinkley's ageless beauty, with one fan calling her a "goddess" in the comments section.
The iconic supermodel recently spoke with Social Life magazine about her new philosophy on relationships after going through four divorces.
She explained that while she is still "a believer in soulmates," she isn't sure "if they last forever in the way that I thought they would."
"I also believe that soulmates can transform and still be soulmates even though it’s not the romantic soulmate anymore," she said.

Brinkley has been married four times: to Jean-François Allaux, Billy Joel, Richard Taubman and Peter Cook.
She has three kids; Alexa Ray, Sailor and Jack.
WNBPA issues statement embracing diversity and inclusion amid trans athlete debate in women's sports
The Women's National Basketball Players Association issued a statement on Friday praising the "different lived experiences, cultures, lifestyles, and opinions" in the wake of the trans-athlete debate reaching the league.
"To everyone who loves this game: The WNBPA represents 200+ individual people with different lived experiences, cultures, lifestyles, and opinions. We embrace justice , equity, diversity, and inclusion. Those are the values that unite this Union and allow it to protect women's sports while creating transformational change," the WNBPA said in its statement.
"Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political pawns.

Support the Players. Support the Fans. At games, notify security if you witness hateful, violent, or abusive behavior. Online, report abusive posts and drown out the bots and bad actors. At home, tell your elected officials to strengthen Title IX."
The statement comes more than two weeks after a quote from Sophie Cunningham was released in an article in which she said "young girls...shouldn't have to go against biological men" in sports.
"I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men," Cunningham said.
WOMEN'S ADVOCACY LEADER ASKS 'WHY HAVE A WNBA IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW GUYS IN' AMID TRANS DEBATE
"I'll always believe in that. It's really important to protect children, and that's little girls who are also involved in that category."
The WNBPA's statement also came shortly after former NBA big man Enes Kanter Freedom announced on social media that he was declaring for the WNBA draft, saying he has met all the eligibility requirements and just needs to simply identify as a woman.
Ever since Cunningham's comments, numerous players and coaches have been outspoken before, during, and after games, with many apparently disagreeing with Cunningham.
Rallies supporting Cunningham have been held prior to several of her games ever since the comments were unearthed.
Megan Rapinoe recently criticized Cunningham for taking a photo with Riley Gaines, who competed against trans swimmer Lia Thomas in college.
"I don't know Sophie, so I can only project what I see about her beliefs based on her actions, and seeing a picture of her with Riley Gaines after the game told me everything I need to know about what's happening," Rapinoe said.
Missing Illinois kayakers found dead near strait called Death's Door known for shipwrecks
The bodies of an Illinois couple, both 20, who had gone missing on a kayaking trip in Lake Michigan near a strait called Death’s Door in Wisconsin were recovered earlier this week.
David Thalman, 20, and Francesca Warick, 20, were found on Monday morning off Washington Island after they went missing over the weekend, according to a joint press release from the Door County Sheriff’s Office and Washington Island Police Department.
Washington Island is located across from the Door Peninsula. Kayakers leaving from the Door Peninsula must cross the Death’s Door strait, which is known for being turbulent, to reach Washington Island.
Authorities don't believe either one was wearing a life jacket.

Hundreds of shipwrecks are believed to have happened in the notorious strait since the 19th century.
The Door County Sheriff’s Office said it had assumed command of the search after it turned into a recovery operation on Sunday.
Jane Lee, broker-owner of a RE/MAX office in Chicago suburb Lake Bluff, told FOX 32 that Thalman was a great employee.
"You don't see a lot of young people like that anymore today," she said. "He's very focused, always on time. We trust him 100 percent."
She said his family has a cabin on Washington Island and she started to get worried when he hadn’t answered her calls and texts about work after he left for the weekend.

"That moment I did worry," she said, adding that when her office heard the news, "We all cried. Everybody was in shock."
She added, "We feel a huge loss."
Warick, a twin, "brought joy to everyone around her," according to her obituary.
"She was a bright, happy, and free-spirited young woman whose beautiful smile and kind heart left a lasting impression on all who knew her. She loved her family deeply and treasured every moment spent with them."
Authorities said the couple likely drowned. Their deaths remain under investigation.
Caribbean hot spot gripped by water crisis, and tourists scramble to reschedule plans
Puerto Rico is implementing water rationing measures in San Juan amid an intense drought, raising questions for American tourists visiting the Caribbean island.
More than 180,000 water customers will face 48-hour water outages on an alternating schedule starting Friday, according to The Associated Press.
Historical weather data shows July was the driest month for San Juan in more than 120 years and the second-hottest month on record.
CRUISES THROWN INTO CHAOS AS DROUGHT STRANDS SHIPS, LEAVES PASSENGERS SCRAMBLING
The U.S. Drought Monitor reports that nearly 25% of Puerto Rico is experiencing a severe drought and another 36% is under a moderate drought, according to the AP.
The situation is raising concerns among some tourists regarding upcoming trips to the island.
On a Reddit forum dedicated to travel to Puerto Rico, one tourist said that, though the tourist's hotel was equipped with an emergency water supply, the tourist was still worried about the shortage.
"Can someone please be realistic about what it’d be like to visit during this?" the Reddit user asked. "Will it affect restaurants and bars? Should we cancel even though we likely won’t get anything refunded?"

In response, other users offered mixed assessments of how the rationing could affect visitors.
"Hotels have cisterns and generators," one person wrote. "However, you should prepare to be flexible in your outlook, as it is a crisis."
"Hotels are probably the ones less affected by all of this," a different Reddit user advised. "Businesses and restaurants will [definitely] have to adjust, like they've had to in the past. Droughts don't happen every year but they are common."
"Good luck is all I have to say," another person said. "Have family [that] were told about upcoming water shutoffs."

Others were less concerned about how the drought could affect travelers.
Biggest "issues you’ll encounter [are] no ice in drinks, or car washes available," a Reddit user said.
"Pools are unaffected, restaurants might use paper plates," another said.
The person behind the original Reddit post later updated the thread to say the travelers canceled their trip.

"We didn’t feel good about going and canceled," the Reddit user said. "We got refunds on some things, not others, and hope to be back another time."
Water-related advisories have also affected travelers in other tropical destinations.
Earlier this year, officials in Hawaii issued multiple brown water advisories across the state's islands in the aftermath of a storm.

The Colorado Buffaloes are once again getting roasted online for looking like a Pop Warner team
It's been a while since I talked about the Colorado Buffaloes football team — their spring game, to be exact.
College football had been gone for three months at that point and every Power 4 program's spring game was basically like an oasis in a desert when it came to the cravings of the fans.
At that time, the Buffs were making headlines for the physical makeup of their team, and since no one else had anything to talk about, the mighty mites of Boulder got the microscope put squarely on them.
OKLAHOMA SOONERS QUARTERBACK JOHN MATEER LOOKS ABSOLUTELY JACKED JUST IN TIME FOR FALL CAMP
Folks on the internet picked Colorado apart for their lack of size, comparing them to a high school football team.
Now, summer workouts have concluded and fall camp is in full session, so let's check in on the Buffaloes and see what they've been doing in the weight room all offseason.
Surely Coach Prime had his guys in the lab getting jacked all summer long, right?
Hmm, that's weird. Why would the Colorado football official X account post a video of a local Denver-area Pop Warner team running passing drills?
MICHIGAN STATE'S SPRING GAME SHENANIGANS ARE A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
Oh, wait, I've just received an urgent update that says this is, in fact, the actual Colorado Buffaloes football team practicing for the 2026 season.
How awkward.
What exactly does the strength and conditioning coach do at Colorado, anyway?
It's not just me being a jerk, either.
The comments section under the post is filled with people who are questioning why a Power 4 football team looks like a solid 6A high school program from Texas.
I was only half kidding when I questioned why the Colorado account was posting Pop Warner clips, too.
When I scrolled past this initially, all I saw was the size of the players and the field they were playing on, so I had to do a legitimate triple take to make sure what I was seeing was accurate.
For crying out loud, even the ref in the background looks like a high school student they got as a volunteer for a summer job.
Speaking of the Colorado X account, I feel bad for the social media admin in charge of posting this.
You know that young man or woman was thinking, "This is going to get us torched online."
And, you know what? They were absolutely right.
From everything I could find, the Buffs are projected to finish at or near the bottom of the Big 12, and without knowing too much about what the team has returning aside from former five-star signal caller Julian Lewis, I can see why.
Coach Prime better hope his players are as fast as he was when he played college football, because they certainly aren't overpowering any of their opponents this season.
It sounds like Tony Romo may never return to CBS
It sounds like Tony Romo may never return to CBS.
As OutKick reported last week, Romo's OWI arrest put his future in jeopardy beyond the initial indefinite suspension.
Even before his arrest, there were doubts about whether CBS would keep Romo as its lead NFL analyst beyond this season, especially with the network set to air the Super Bowl in 2028.
Romo's stock has also fallen considerably over the past three seasons, with critics pointing to his lack of preparation, goofy antics, and increasingly forced banter with Jim Nantz.
According to Puck News, Romo's arrest could expedite his departure. The outlet reported on Thursday that the consensus around the sports media industry is that "Romo won’t be back."

CBS could also invoke a morals clause to fire Romo for cause over the arrest video. However, Romo is owed 18 million a year through 2030. Therefore, his legal team would almost certainly fight any attempt to void the deal.
Either way, CBS does not have to put Romo back on the air.
Romo's exit would open up one of the biggest jobs in sports media: calling games alongside Jim Nantz. J.J. Watt will replace Romo this season after a promising year in the booth. If Watt works well with Nantz, CBS would have every reason to consider keeping him there full-time.

The Ellison-owned CBS also has deep pockets and could go after a bigger name ahead of the Super Bowl next season.
Troy Aikman, Kirk Herbstreit, and Greg Olsen all have contracts that expire after this season. Expect CBS to consider each of them.
Aikman is the most intriguing option and arguably the best NFL color commentator in the industry. That said, it would likely take around $25 million a year for CBS to poach Aikman away from ESPN.
Olsen is currently the No. 2 analyst at Fox, but possesses the talent to be a No. 1.
Herbstreit is more of a long shot. While he is Amazon's top NFL analyst, he is still best known for his work on ESPN's College GameDay and college football coverage. CBS no longer has the college football inventory to match that.
As for Romo, it's hard to imagine another network wanting him in the booth, even with more streamers adding NFL games to their lineups.
Unearthed clip of El-Sayed revealing his 'hate' for iconic Michigan town sparks online firestorm: 'Dark heart'
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing pushback online over a resurfaced clip in which he says he "hates" arguably the most treasured location in the state.
In the documentary clip from 2020, which resurfaced in a story by The Midwesterner Friday, El-Sayed walks through Michigan’s Mackinac Island during his failed run for governor.
"I hate Mackinac so much," El-Sayed said of one of the state’s most recognizable vacation spots, which sits on an island in Lake Huron between Michigan's Upper and Lower peninsula's.
"It’s funny cause, like, if we win, this is gonna be, like, the summer home," El-Sayed added, referencing the governor’s summer residence on the island.
DEM SENATE HOPEFUL ABDUL EL-SAYED RECOUNTS SMASHING VODKA BOTTLE AFTER BEARD CRITICISM
"I’m just gonna be like every time I’ve ever come here. I’ve hated it. Why am I here?"
The clip went viral on social media Thursday with conservatives blasting El-Sayed for looking down on the quaint village town.
MICHIGAN SENATE RACE: EL-SAYED’S TIES TO EXTREMIST FUEL ANTISEMITISM CONCERNS AMONG JEWISH VOTERS
"The rising stars of the Democrat Party loathe America and seek to destroy it," Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway posted on X. "And unlike their spiritual forebears, they see less of a reason to hide it for political gain. "
"I got engaged on this island," Outkick founder Clay Travis posted on X. "It’s an awesome place. Honestly, I don’t understand how anyone could hate northern Michigan in summer, absolutely beautiful, most underrated spot in the country."
"Wow hating Mackinac!" former Trump advisor Steve Cortes posted on X. "A place that is so iconic to Michigan, to America. Abdul has a dark heart."
"Abdul el-Sayed is a repellent terror-loving anti-Semite--and that's not even the worst thing about him," Commentary Magazine editor John Podhoretz posted on X. "He hates Mackinac Island, one of the most wonderful places on earth. A person who hates Mackinac Island has had his soul ripped from his body."
"He would rather summer at his property in Dubai," National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesperson Sarah Gallagher posted on X.
"Bro has no soul," On Brand Strategies communications associate Carly Moran posted on X. "It’s literally Heaven on Earth."
"Abdul speaks fondly of his Egyptian summers yet he shows utter disdain for one of Michigan’s most beautiful summer destinations," former Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon told Fox News Digital. "He wants his history to be respected but belittles Michigander’s favorite memories. He doesn’t respect us, and, therefore, he cannot represent us."
"Abdul El-Sayed hot mic: 'I hate Mackinac so much,'" conservative influencer account End Wokeness posted on X. "This is the most American place in MI."
Some, including journalist Brad LaPlante, defended El-Sayed’s comments as being taken "out of context."
"El-Sayed was talking about the Mackinac Policy Conference, an annual gathering of policy pros and insiders that he argues brings together well-connected and powerful people and shuts most voters out of politics," LaPlante wrote.
Others weren't so sure, including Michigan Young Republicans board member James Asher, who responded in a post on X, "Brad, are you dizzy from the way you’re spinning this?"
Mackinac Island is beloved in large part because it has retained a character increasingly rare in American tourist destinations. Motor vehicles have been largely prohibited since the 1890s, leaving visitors to travel by foot, bicycle or the island’s famous horse-drawn carriages.
The island has Victorian homes, historic hotels, waterfront streets, natural scenery and celebrated fudge shops which draw more than a million visitors from around the world each summer, while landmarks such as the Grand Hotel and Fort Mackinac have helped make the island an enduring symbol of Michigan history and culture.
Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed’s campaign for comment but did not receive a response.
El-Sayed responded to the post from End Wokeness on Friday afternoon saying, "Not sure about 'End Wokeness,' but I don’t think the most 'American place in MI' can be a place that…bans cars."
Tennessee Titans revamped their mascot and social media certainly had some thoughts
It's a time of change for the Tennessee Titans. The team has a new stadium getting ready to open next year, and recently showed off some new threads that really scream, "Yeah, we used to be the Houston Oilers. What of it?"
So, with so much change, reimagining and upgrading happening within the organization, apparently they decided that the team's mascot, T-Rac, an anthropomorphic raccoon, needed a makeover as well.
And, as you may have expected, the citizens of social media had some thoughts.
JOSH ALLEN DELIVERS FULL-THROATED UNSOLICITED DEFENSE OF BUFFALO BILLS' HIDEOUS NEW UNIFORMS
Now, while the T-Rac revamp had likely been in the works for quite some time, the Titans couldn’t have picked a better time to unveil it.
Why? Because raccoon stock has never been higher, what with internet sensation Jimothy taking over to the point of getting his own theme night at a Seattle Mariners game.
So, now people are really into raccoons, even if all they usually do is pick through garbage bins and spread the contents all over the alley behind my house.

But, to that point, fans have strong feelings when it comes to the change, and while some liked T-Rac 2.0, his more realistic look was not met with unanimous approval online.
I can see both sides of this one.
On one hand, it seems like a waste of breath to get worked up over the mascot.
On the other, I still haven't forgiven the AHL's Hershey Bears for making their mascot, Cocoa, all trim and fit, instead of fat and jovial like he was in my youth.
That happened like fifteen years ago.
I feel like this is always the reaction to a new mascot. I mean, for the first 24 hours that Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty existed, he was reviled.
Then he fell on the ice, shot a Rangers fan with a T-shirt cannon, threatened to kill the Pittsburgh Penguins mascot, and — what do you know? — he practically became a god in Philadelphia.
I think it's just a matter of time before all Titans fans are willing to take a bullet for T-Rac 2.0...
...unless this season gets off to a bad start, in which case he might become the scapegoat (scaperaccoon?).
James Carville predicts 2028 Democratic primary will test true strength of party's socialist wing
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville told Fox News Digital that 2028 will decide the future of the Democratic Party, not 2026, saying all he can do is try to advise them not to make the wrong choice.
In recent months, there has been a rising faction of far-left Democratic candidates winning primaries in multiple states, and some more moderate figures are alarmed.
"I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker," Carville said on "The Sunday Briefing" referring to a streamer who has made controversial statements like claiming America deserved 9/11, something he later backtracked on. "If he becomes a force in a Democratic Party, I'm out of here. I have no intention of ever being in the same political party with that guy."
In the following days, Carville spoke to Fox News Digital about how the party stands at a historic crossroads. But he advises that 2028 will be the real test of the far-left's strength.
DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST JAMES CARVILLE SAYS HE COULD BECOME A REPUBLICAN UNDER ONE MAJOR CONDITION
"This I believe 100 percent — the future direction of the Democratic Party is going to be decided by Democratic primary voters in 2028," he said.
"Everyone claims they're the ascendant ring, alright, on the 2028 presidential election, and this can only be resolved at the presidential level. It cannot be resolved at the state level," he said. "And I am sure that there will be robust representation from the DSA ring of the party, whatever you want to call it. I'm sure there'll be a robust number of candidates from what I would call the governing wing of the Democratic Party, but you call it what you want."
He asserted again that this is a matter of politics that must be decided by the base of the party itself. The 2028 primary promises to be a crowded contest, with figures ranging from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Gavin Newsom to Pete Buttigieg to Kamala Harris to Rahm Emanuel among those expected to vie for the nomination.
"And this can't be solved through op-ed pieces, it can't be solved through cable TV network packages, panels, it can only, and that's the way it should be, that the Democrats themselves have got to settle on the direction of their party, and they're going to have all the options, and we'll see just how popular this is," he said.
KAMALA HARRIS IS THE 'FAIRLY OBVIOUS' 2028 PRESIDENTIAL FRONTRUNNER, DEMOCRATIC INSIDERS SAY
When later asked about what would happen if the democratic socialist wing takes power, he repeated his past prediction that there will have to be a "schism" in the official party.
"I'm going to let Democratic voters determine the direction the party goes in, and if it goes in the direction of — I'm pretty confident it won't, but if it goes in that direction, then I'm going to be 82. OK, fine, go ahead, but not with me," he said. "Until Democratic voters choose the direction of the party, I'll try to do all I can to help them make the right choice, in my opinion."
‘Sopranos’ stars reunite in emotional farewell for Vincent Pastore
Years after "The Sopranos" came to an end, its stars reunited for a heartbreaking reason — to say goodbye to Vincent Pastore.
Pastore was laid to rest Thursday in New York, surrounded by family and friends. His "Sopranos" co-star, Steven Van Zandt, served as a pallbearer, helping carry the late actor to his final resting place. Pastore's casket was draped with an American flag in honor of his time serving in the Navy.
Pastore's daughter remembered the man best known for the role of Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero as "a giving person."
"He was a man who lived out his dreams … but he knew how lucky he was," she said during the emotional funeral, Page Six reported.
'THE SOPRANOS' ACTOR VINCENT PASTORE DEAD AT 80
"I think that’s why he tried to share as much of it with as many people as possible," she added. "Whether that was a big tip, always in cash, or by shaking hands with every cop on every corner."
Van Zandt told the outlet he kept in touch with Pastore "quite often" before his death.
"We just happened to call him two days ago. The day before he died, we luckily just happened to call him," he said, referring to him and wife Maureen. "He was one of a kind, and we’ll miss him very much."
Days after his death, the actor's "right-hand man," Stephen Villano, told the Post Pastore was nothing like the character he often portrayed on the screen.

"He said, ‘I’m an actor. I play a character.’ So, people would think that this is the man, but that wasn’t the man," he said. "The man was generous, he was kind, he was caring," Villano said.
"He cared about his neighbors, he cared about charities, he cared about fundraisers."
Villano said Pastore supported veterans in the Bronx, U.S. troops and the police department.
"He supported St. Jude’s [Children’s Research Hospital], and he supported the NYPD," Villano added. "Widows, orphans, their Christmas parties … all the time, back the blue."
"Vinny passed away either yesterday or today at home in The Bronx," his manager, Robert Attermann, said.

"I had the privilege of representing Vinny for more than 30 years, long before 'The Sopranos' made him a household name," he added. "To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable 'Big Pussy,' but to those of us who knew him, he was so much more."
In addition to Pastore's role on "The Sopranos," the actor also appeared in "Blue Bloods," "Law & Order," "General Hospital," "Bull," "Pair of Kings," "Hawaii Five-0" and most recently lent his voice on an episode of "Yellowjackets."
He also appeared in a number of movies, including "Goodfellas," "A Bronx Tale," "Carlito's Way," "Gotti," "Once Upon a Time in Brooklyn," "Mickey Blue Eyes" and others.
"He loved being an actor," Attermann said. "He was passionate about his craft and was always encouraging, respectful and generous with young actors, taking the time to offer guidance and support whenever he could."
