The accident happened a few weeks after Meadow turned 15. Walker and friend Roger Rodas were killed when their 2005 Porsche Carrera GT slammed into a pole and burst into flames. A year before his death, Meadow moved to live with him after spending most of her childhood in Hawaii with her mother. Meadow also keeps her father’s memory alive on the Paul Walker Foundation Instagram page. Paul Walker is best known for his work in The Fast and the Furious film franchise. He also appeared in the films...

PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Chrissy Teigen “My WhatsApp automatically saves every photo to my roll so any boobs in my phone are my girlfriends showing me their boobs or boobs they hate or boobs they love or yeah def also my boobs.

However, the since-deleted video ended with a bit of a mishap on the actor’s part.

 TORONTO -- Sunday's Google Doodle pays tribute to famed Canadian athlete and cancer activist Terry Fox on the anniversary of the first run event organized across Canada in his honour. The Doodle, illustrated by Toronto-based artist Lynn Scurfield, replaces the usual Google logo with an image of Fox running in a valley near a lake. The sun shines above him and the clouds in the background spell "Google." The illustration pays homage to Fox’s original "Marathon of Hope" which he started on April 12, 1980, three years after he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his right leg amputated. Beginning in St John's, N.L., Fox ran almost 42 kilometres every day for more than four months in his ambitious cross-country mission to raise money for cancer research. But by kilometre 5,373, the cancer he’d been fighting spread to his lungs, and he was forced to stop running. Sept. 1, 1980 marked the last day of the Marathon of Hope. Fox died in hospital the following sum...

 Getty People with disabilities participate in the Terry Fox Run, also known as the Marathon of Hope, in Havana on March 15, 2014. The race is held every year over 50 countries to commemorate the anniversary of the death of the Canadian athlete and to raise money for cancer research. Terry Fox lost his leg to cancer, but it didn’t stop him from making it his mission to run across Canada. Fox is being honored with a Google Doodle Sunday, September 13, 2020. Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer when he was only 18 years old. After encountering children in the hospital cancer unit, he decided to become an activist for cancer research. He decided to run across Canada in his Marathon of Hope, according to the Terry Fox Foundation. Tragically, on his run, he learned he had cancer in his lungs. He died one year later at age 22. An archived video from 1981 shows Fox on his Marathon of Hope and in an interview with CBC. Watch the full interview here. Today, his legacy lives on in the annual t...

 Giannis Antetokounmpo met with Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry Saturday to discuss the team's future, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Earlier Saturday, Antetokounmpo unfollowed the team and his teammates on Twitter and Instagram, after the Bucks were eliminated from the postseason by the underdog Miami Heat in five games earlier this week. With Antetokoumnpo only a year removed from free agency, the meeting will surely spur rumors about him leaving the small-market Bucks, but he has made it clear that, at this point, that isn't his intention.  Antetokounmpo vehemently denied that he would force a trade after Game 5. "It's not happening. That's not happening," Antetokounmpo told Haynes at the time. "Some see a wall and go in [another direction]. I plow through it. We just have to get better as a team, individually and get right back at it next season." That echoes the sentiment of his post-game press conference. "At the end of the da...

 Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to their best season in seven years and won Most Improved Player in 2017. He began the following season absolutely dominating. But Milwaukee started just 4-5. That type of backslide had become the norm for the Bucks. They hadn’t made the playoffs in consecutive seasons in 14 years. They’d gone even longer since winning a postseason series. Milwaukee had become defined by unsustained moderate success. The Bucks were determined to break the trend, though. Antetokounmpo was special and deserved a commensurate supporting cast. Less than a year later, Milwaukee had a championship contender. That sudden emergence is an incredible success story. It also raised expectations – making this year’s second-round loss to the Heat a bitter disappointment – and creates long-term complications as the Bucks approach Antetokounmpo’s super-max decision. How did Milwaukee get here? Adding proven contributors around mainstays Antetokounmpo and Khris Middlet...

 Earlier Saturday, Antetokounmpo unfollowed hundreds of people on social media, including the team and his teammates on Twitter and Instagram. Antetokoumnpo is one year away from free agency and has said he would not force a trade. Antetokounmpo, a favorite to repeat as the NBA’s Most Valuable Player, becomes eligible for a supermax extension when the offseason begins and has one season remaining on the four-year, $100 million deal he signed in 2016. The Bucks are all but certain to offer him such a deal, believed to be worth approximately $220 million over five years, but whether Antetokounmpo will accept an extension is unknown and the subject of much speculation. So far, Antetokounmpo has said nothing to suggest he’s looking for an exit. He’s repeatedly expressed a desire to remain in Milwaukee, which selected him with the 15th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, and offered a similar assurance immediately after Game 5. “It’s not happening. That’s not happening,” Antetokounmpo said in r...

 Indeed, in relation to Victoria, we have been very supportive of the measures to ensure we quarantine Victoria from the rest of the nation to stop the spread there of Covid19. What I would urge the state and territory leaders to do, is not be closed minded and not to shut down and instead to engage in an evidence based approach of looking at how hotspots can be used, as a means to facilitate greater movement of people across Australia, without jeopardising health outcomes, and this is something other countries have done (in developing these hotspot approaches) I find it incredible disappointing that a premier like Annastacia Palaszczuk would be so closed minded, to even looking at the evidence, rule it out before she has seen it. What that is doing is jeopardising jobs, livelihoods...and that will continue to be lost if we have this approach from the state and territory leaders, in some cases, simply maintain border closures, indefinitely, with a blanket approach rather than the e...

  © Greg Nash McConnell shores up GOP support for coronavirus package Senate Republicans appear to be largely unifying behind a scaled-down coronavirus relief package, with several GOP senators on Wednesday saying they will vote for a smaller proposal. GOP leaders want at least 51 of their 53 members to vote for the coronavirus bill - a symbolic victory that would allow them to project unity on the issue despite the legislation not being able to get the 60 votes needed to ultimately pass the Senate. "I'm optimistic we'll have a good vote on our side," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters after a closed-door lunch while declining to say if he had locked down at least 51 Republican votes. Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Republican senator, said leaders were "optimistic" they would have the votes. "We remain hopeful, and we'll see where the vote comes out," he added. GOP leaders are voicing increased confidence that they...

 NEW YORK/LONDON/HONG KONG (Reuters Breakingviews) - Corona Capital is a daily column updated throughout the day by Breakingviews columnists around the world with short, sharp pandemic-related insights. A sign is seen outside a Dollar General store in Chicago, Illinois, U.S. May 23, 2016. REUTERS/Jim Young – Testing, testing – Discount surge RAPID TESTING. Investors may be focused on how soon a coronavirus vaccine will arrive to end the coronavirus pandemic. But rapid, cheap testing will arrive sooner and may be more important. The emergency approval of Abbott Laboratories’ $5, 15-minute test added $13 billion to its maker’s market value on Thursday morning. America’s testing campaign has been a disaster, with too few kits and people waiting too long for results – an average of four days in July, a survey shows. That’s roughly the same as April. Such delays make tests close to useless, as outbreaks can fester. Abbott’s test requires a less invasive nasal swabbing than other iterati...

 Biden nonetheless found ways to make his point — that institutions like Congress and NATO are bulwarks against such assaults on democracy. “I refuse to be part of letting these bastards win,” Biden said that day. Hundreds of miles to the north — and four miles from Ground Zero — Donald Trump was sitting in a tower bearing his name, watching CNBC and preparing to call a local TV station to offer his own commentary, including a lament that the stock market was forced to close. The Sept. 11 attacks targeted the cities that molded the two men, Washington and New York, reinforcing the clashing worldviews they now offer the American electorate: Biden’s embrace of U.S. institutions and global alliances, Trump’s distrust of foreigners and insistence that America must go it alone. “Their responses fundamentally demonstrated the one perpetual, personal and political divide between them,” said Aaron David Miller, who served in the State Department under both Democrats and Republicans, citing...

 The funniest standup I’ve ever seen … I’ve seen a LOT of standup. But I still think one of my favourite sets I’ve seen is one I wasn’t there for personally: John Mulaney’s Kid Gorgeous at Radio City special. Everything is there – unique ideas, phrasing, performance. The funniest sketch I’ve ever seen … One night in 1995, I saw David Cross and Bob Odenkirk in a tiny club in Santa Monica. I was crying laughing. The one that really stuck with me was “Asshole at a Party”, where David ended the sketch by eating broken glass and turning Bob’s priest character into his personal slave. The funniest TV show I’ve ever seen … Nothing in recent memory made me laugh like Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson’s Detroiters. The day it didn’t get picked up for a third season, a part of me died! (The part that liked Detroiters.) The funniest film I’ve ever seen … The Naked Gun, by myself, in 1988. When Leslie Nielsen broke the penis off of the statue and rushed a screaming woman with it, I was wiping te...

 LOS ANGELES -- Funny man and host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" Alfonso Ribeiro gave On The Red Carpet the inside scoop on how the show will look when it returns to ABC for its 31st season. "We've actually already shot four episodes for the coming season," Ribeiro told On The Red Carpet's Karl Schmid. "We're doing it without an audience except -- ABC and Vin Di Bona Productions -- they're utilizing that same technology that the NBA is using where we have a virtual audience with us for the entire taping." The show is being taped on a stage with giant video screens that live stream the home audience, so they can still react to the hilarious videos in real time. "I'm just kind of moving around these big screens while the audience is actually watching us shoot," Ribeiro shared. The show originally aired as a special in 1989 and later debuted as a regular weekly series in 1990. AFV was hosted by comedian Bob Saget until ...

 The woman who publicly recounted how her father died of COVID-19 because he trusted President Donald Trump doubled down on her criticism Thursday following the revelation that the president told journalist Bob Woodward that he intentionally played down the pandemic even though he knew it was "deadly." The woman, Kristin Urquiza, who blamed Trump during an emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention last month for the death of her father and blasted his overall handling of the pandemic, tore into the president anew Thursday during a phone call with reporters organized by Joe Biden's presidential campaign. "That betrayal of my father and our country is even more clear now. The president's lies are undeniable and inexcusable," Urquiza said on the call. "If Donald Trump had told the American people in public what he had told Bob Woodward in private, thousands of lives could have been spared, including my dad," she said. "The sad thing ...

 President Donald Trump on Thursday denied lying to Americans about the severity of the coronavirus after a bombshell new book by journalist Bob Woodward revealed that he deliberately downplayed the crisis. Trump's taped admission to Woodward that he minimized the pandemic in public, while being aware from the start about the unique danger presented by Covid-19, has set off alarm bells less than eight weeks before election day. Asked at a hastily organized White House press conference "Why did you lie to the American people?" Trump responded: "I didn't lie." The Republican, who is down in the polls against Democrat Joe Biden and faces overwhelming disapproval from Americans on his handling of the coronavirus crisis, insisted that he'd softened the dangers in public so as to preserve calm. "I don't want to jump up and down and start screaming 'Death! Death!'" he argued. US President Donald Trump is in hot water over revelations in Bo...

 New revelations from Trump’s interviews with Woodward early in the crisis are raising a new set of questions that are threatening to swamp his administration and campaign just over 50 days from the November election. While Trump keeps trying to turn attention toward his favorite issues — culture wars, law and order or new promises to his base like potential conservative judicial appointees — Woodward’s book and the timeline it presents has forced the Trump administration into precisely the position it’s wanted to avoid: litigating the early stages of its response to a pandemic that has now killed more than 190,000 Americans. Some White House aides privately acknowledge it was a wasted month. Democrats and other critics say the delay in giving out timely and clear information — especially after those fateful days in early February — caused untold thousands more deaths than necessary and deeper economic wreckage than the U.S. might have endured if it had responded earlier. “This is ...

 Huawei has unveiled its newest set of true wireless earbuds: say hello to the FreeBuds Pro. The new model offers better active noise cancellation, a slightly less derivative design and one of the best features from Apple’s AirPods Pro.  Remember how the FreeBuds 3 looked just like the original AirPods with the usual earbud-on-a-rounded-off stalk design? By comparison, the FreeBuds Pro looks like a radical departure, with a squared look and a prominent Huawei logo running up the side.  The shape puts more of the weight closer to your ears, mitigating the annoyances of the open fit earbud from last year. I prefer them as close to the inside of my ears as possible, so I don’t have to worry about them sliding out when I’m on the go. The squat design also seems to help anchor them and I never had to worry about them moving, even when thrashing my head around.  The FreeBuds Pro also ship with small, medium and large tips to help ensure they fit all types of ears. In addit...
