Hiltz was born female and competes in the women’s category, but identifies as transgender and nonbinary, and supports trans women and girls in sports.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Ah, the Summer Olympics. Every four years, Americans from all walks of life get to view the most prestigious athletes from the country absolutely *obliterate* other teams from around the world in gymnastics, swimming, rowing, and beyond. (Personally, my patriotism begins and ends during this short time period.) Of course, the tens of thousands of competitors, including U.S. athletes Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, and Ilona Maher need to fuel up while in the Olympic Village. The six dining areas across the village offer a range of cuisine from different corners of the globe ranging from dumplings and curries to breakfast sausage and an array of fresh French pastries and coffee. Plus, have you seen that viral double chocolate chip muffin? I get why Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen is obsessed with it. While some aspects of the dining options are a win, many complaints have arisen. Here's what the athletes are saying the Paris 2024 Olympic Village food problems.

The Boston Globe has apologized for writing a three-word headline that managed to get the Imane Khelif story entirely wrong. The original headline, which went viral on social media shortly after Boston-area residents began reading their physical newspapers, was a summary of the Olympic match-up between Italian boxer Angela Carini and Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, which led to a firestorm of internet controversy last week. It read: “Transgender Boxer Advances.”

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
