Only the best for the best!Paul Skenes and girlfriend Livvy Dunne celebrated the MLB star's first career Cy Young Award on Wednesday, Nov. 12 with the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher's favorite snack: hot dogs from a rotating, stadium-sized ballpark cooker.

Skenes won the National League Cy Young Award for being the league's best pitcher throughout the 2025 season, the MLB announced, adding that the the Baseball Writers' Association of America voted him the winner unanimously. The Pirates star beat out Philadelphia Phillies starter Christopher Sanchez, who some viewed as a favorite to win the award, and World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto for his first-career Cy Young.

"Oh my goodness!" Dunne wrote on Instagram after Skenes was announced as the winner.

Dunne, 23, went viral earlier this year when she outed her MLB boyfriend for his unique baseball-themed kitchen appliance on Instagram, and the former LSU gymnast poked fun at her man again while they celebrated Wednesday's monumental career achievement.

"Nothing screams Cy Young announcement like…" Dunne wrote on her Instagram Stories with a photo of the ballpark machine with eight glistening hot dogs rotating below a pair of buns warming up on the top rack.

After the announcement, Dunne teased Skenes for his tepid (but typical) response to the announcement, calmly letting out a smile, casually looking around at his family, and then pumping his fists in a mild celebration: "Much excitement," Dunne joked.

The couple's dog Roux also made a cameo, rushing around the side of the couch to see what the commotion was all about before nonchalantly turning and walking away.

Dunne shared several more photos from throughout the night on her Instagram Stories showing her, Skenes, and his family celebrating the high-profile award with Pirates-themed cookies, bottles of champagne, balloons and a large "2025 Cy Young" light installment.

But likely nothing topped the fresh — or perhaps gently warmed — celebratory hot dogs for Skenes.

"Certified glizzy gobbler," Dunne captioned one final photo of Skenes holding up a hot dog, alongside perhaps his biggest smile of the night.

Speaking to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, Larter said it was "a feel good movie"

Still, she wanted to use the role to showcase her character's "vulnerability," she said

Ali Larter is reminiscing more than two decades after the release of the hit teen 1999 sports drama, Varsity Blues.

Speaking to PEOPLE for an exclusive interview ahead of the second season of Paramount+ series Landman, Larter, 49, said that the movie helped pave the way for all her projects since.

"Varsity Blues is what began it all, and it was a really feel good movie ... I think it was a simpler time in a way and I think that, again, it was a feel good movie, but I love that even for Darcy, I was able to show her vulnerability," Larter said of her character in the movie. "This was a girl who was trying to find her way out and then you see her deeply embarrassed and crying over the choices that she's made for herself as a young girl."

— sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

Varsity Blues revolved around a high school football team and the tough coach who would do anything to win. James Van Der Beek starred as Mox, the quarterback of the team who stands up to his abusive coach, played by Jon Voight.

Larter is featured in one of the film's most famous scenes, in which her character tries to seduce Van Der Beek's Mox while wearing nothing but a whipped cream bikini — even though his character is dating another woman, played by Amy Smart.

Larter told PEOPLE: "Look, for me as a woman, for every role that I've ever been in, I always try to find that centerpiece in them that makes them break or that's driving them because usually, it's what's not in the script, I'm going to try to figure out how to bring it into the movie."

Larter currently stars as Angela Norris in Landman – created by Taylor Sheridan – which exploded on Paramount+ in November 2024, becoming the platform's biggest premiere in two years. The TV drama dives deep into the gritty, high-stakes world of the Texas oil industry, drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Boomtown podcast.

Larter's character is the playful and seductive on-again, off-again wife of Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy and she's faced criticism over how sexual her storylines and costumes have been onscreen.

As Larter told The Hollywood Reporter, "Nobody's putting me in a position that I'm not comfortable being in."

It's not an overstatement to say that social media is in crisis, and that AI content creation is the source of this industry-shaking state of affairs.

Naysayers claim that it's the end of human creativity, with all the cultural and economic repercussions this implies. Meanwhile, proponents push AI hype to extreme levels, heralding this as a new era of growth and engagement.

As with most binary debates, the reality sits somewhere in between. To get to the bottom of where things actually stand for social media content in an AI-first market, the team at Magic Hour dives into the data and trends.

Why AI Content Is So Impactful

AI content has been around for a few years now, although it's only in recent months that the true scope of its power has come into focus for content creators in particular.

Most recently, OpenAI's launch of its Sora 2 video generation platform sent shockwaves through creative spheres. In Hollywood, studios and agencies are up in arms. The ease with which existing IP and even individual actors' likenesses can be emulated is as impressive as it is worrying.

However, the social side of this launch is arguably more important, as it brings OpenAI's tools closer to impinging on territory currently dominated by TikTok. Including a scrollable feed of AI-generated video clips in the Sora app gives users another reason to use it, but it also presents challenges for creators competing for an increasingly smaller share of their audience's attention.

Why It's Not the End of the Line for Human Creators

The idea that AI content will replace human-originated output entirely is overblown. This comes down to the question of authenticity and trust.

No matter how eye-catching and engaging AI images and videos might be, they lack the personal connection people crave. A Nielsen study even found that 48% of consumers distrust companies that promote products on platforms that are heavily reliant on AI content.

In short, there's an incentive to use AI strategically, rather than holistically, from the perspective of both user engagement and positive brand-building.

AI is incredibly useful for content creators on social media. It speeds up production times and drives down costs. And since audiences have an ever-increasing hunger for content, using this tech makes meeting this demand viable for even the smallest of teams.

So, what's a suitable way of implementing AI in a social media content creation workflow without kicking authenticity to the curb in the process?

Chiefly, the question of how AI tools are used must be considered carefully. The fastest way to pump out content is also the least personal. If you're asking ChatGPT or Google Gemini to come up with a prompt to feed into Sora 2 or Veo 3, then slotting the resulting clip into your feeds without any alteration, the results will be a long way from authentic.

The savvier strategy is to treat AI tools just as they are: tools that creatives can use to enhance their own talents and reach their goals sooner without making sacrifices. It's already a $2.2 billion market, and rapid projected growth suggests that there's real benefit to adoption.

For instance, authenticity in social media often comes down to the connection audiences feel with the people who appear on screen. So using generative tools to adapt existing images or video clips preserves this. Whether that's adding effects to enhance footage, embracing automated lip syncing to jump on board with memes, or speeding up editing through automation, the options are varied, and the end results won't feel half-baked.

Should Social Media Creators Use AI Content Tools?

There's no escaping the fact that social media creators must walk a thin line when using AI tools to assist with their workflows. Go too far, and you risk alienating audiences that have taken years to build. Fail to use these tools at all, and you risk being overtaken by other creators who aren't so reluctant.

Even with all the progress seen so far, AI is still in its infancy. Adopting it to amplify human creativity now also means you're building the skills and knowledge that will serve you well as it becomes even more advanced and ingrained in our lives in the years to come.

When could the House vote on releasing Epstein files? What we know.

A hotly debated House vote is expected next week following the bombshell release of Jeffrey Epstein's emails alleging the president knew about the convicted sex offender's alleged sex trafficking.

After months of pushback, Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said on Nov. 12 that a vote will be held next week on a bill that could require the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.

Live updates: New Epstein emails intensify records debate as Trump pressures GOP lawmakers.

Johnson offered up his rough timeline after a group of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle used an obscure petition to bypass House leadership opposition amid ongoing House investigations into the disgraced financier. Epstein died by suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial.

Johnson said on Nov. 12, after the petition appeared headed toward success, that the House would hold a vote addressing the release of the files next week, teeing up a floor battle on an issue Johnson has for months tried to avoid.

1 / 22Victims of Jeffrey Epstein rally at Capitol Hill to demand release of filesRep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) speaks during a news conference with alleged victims of disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein outside the U.S. Capitol on Sept. 3, 2025 in Washington, DC.

The Epstein files have become a stubborn thorn in the side of President Donald Trump and Republicans, causing leading MAGA voices and commentators to splinter over the administration's handling of related investigations of the participants in Epstein's alleged trafficking ring. If the bill passes the House next week, it would be sent to the Senate for a round of debate and votes − likely extending the spotlight on Epstein and Trump.

The bipartisan petition itself laid bare the party's divisions when four House Republicans ‒ Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Thomas Massie of Kentucky ‒ chose to keep their names on the document, breaking with the party to push for the release of the files.

Amid the vote that ended the shutdown on Nov. 12, House Democrats released three Epstein emails written between 2011 and 2019 in which Epstein mentioned Trump by name. In one of the emails, Epstein wrote that Trump "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims. In another, Epstein said Trump "knew about the girls." The allegations against Epstein include charges that he conspired to transport minors across state lines to have sex with his clients.

Anouska De Georgiou pauses during her remarks at a press conference to discuss the Epstein Files Transparency bill, directing the release of the remaining files related to the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., September 3, 2025.

The White House called the email release a "smear," and Trump said on social media that Democrats are trying to "deflect" from other issues.

In a social media post, Trump warned Republicans not to vote for a bill requiring the full release of the government's records on Epstein, saying "Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap," and calling the issue a "hoax."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Thursday the government would release the closely watched employment report for October, but without the jobless rate after a weeks-long federal government shutdown.

"‌The household survey wasn't conducted in October, so we're going to get half the employment ‌report. We'll get the jobs part, but we won't get the unemployment rate. And that'll just be for one month," Hassett told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" program. "We probably ... ⁠will never actually know for ‌sure what the unemployment rate was in October."

The 43-day government shutdown, the longest on record, caused the suspension of data ‍collection, processing and publishing by the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics as well as the Commerce Department's Census Bureau and Bureau of Economic Analysis.

The employment report is made up of two parts, the household survey from which the unemployment rate is derived ‌and the establishment survey from which the nonfarm payroll count is calculated. The government surveys businesses and households for the employment report during the week that includes the 12th day of the month.

Economists had raised doubts about whether the October household survey portion of the report would be published as the data is collected from a random sample of households through ⁠interviews by field workers.

Hassett also separately told reporters that the Council of Economic Advisers estimated the shutdown, which ended on Wednesday night, cost the economy about $15 billion per week. He estimated that translated to a subtraction of roughly ‍1.0 to 1.⁠5 percentage points from annualized gross domestic product growth in the fourth quarter.

That is broadly in line with projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. ⁠Hassett said the CEA estimated that 60,000 non-federal workers lost their jobs because of the ripple ‌effects of the shutdown.

DETROIT (AP) — The state of Michigan is giving up ownership of a rare relic from the famous Edmund Fitzgerald shipwreck, just weeks after it strangely obtained it through a settlement in a lawsuit that was completely unrelated to the doomed freighter.

Larry Orr is getting one of the ship's life rings back — and the state will still pay $600,000 to settle his lawsuit over police misconduct.

"I feel a whole lot better," Orr, 77, told The this week.

In 1975, eight days after the Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior, killing all 29 men, Orr said he found the life ring and a piece of a lifeboat on shore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

"There was an eerie feeling. Maybe someone had survived," he recalled. "I looked around for footprints or any other sign of life for a while and never found anything."

Fast forward 50 years to this autumn: Orr was in talks with the Michigan State Police to settle a lawsuit. He accused Lt. David Busacca of violating his rights during a sexual abuse investigation that was ultimately discredited. Orr had spent five months in jail, in addition to house arrest, before charges were dropped in 2019.

Orr and his attorney, Shannon Smith, said the state suddenly expressed interest in the Fitzgerald life ring during the negotiations. Orr said Busacca was aware that he owned it when he saw paperwork during a search of his Michigan home.

Orr said he felt he was being manipulated, but he also needed money to move out of a recreation vehicle in Yulee, Florida. Smith said throwing the ring into the deal raised the settlement to $600,000 from roughly $300,000.

"I think we should have gotten a million for everything they did to me," Orr said.

The AP was first to report the peculiar deal on Oct. 23. When state police were asked to explain why it was appropriate, spokesperson Shanon Banner said the department was "not comfortable."

Additional talks among lawyers led to a new agreement: Orr gets the ring back while taxpayers will still be on the hook for $600,000 to close the police misconduct lawsuit. Banner acknowledged the terms this week.

For decades, Orr allowed the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Paradise, Michigan, to display the orange ring, which has "Fitzgerald" in stenciled letters. Now he might sell it at auction.

Orr said he's trying to buy a modular home and his wife's car "is on its last legs."

"I need all the money I can get," he said.

- Filmmaker Yi Zhou has accused Jeremy Renner of sending her unsolicited nudes and threatening to call ICE on her.

- Renner's lawyer has denied the allegations, calling them "false, outrageous, and highly defamatory."

- Zhou responded by sharing what looks like a cease-and-desist letter addressed to the actor demanding that he "cease threatening, intimidating, and disrespectful conduct."

Jeremy Renner is denying serious accusations from a filmmaker who says she had a relationship with him.

After director Yi Zhou publicly accused the *Hurt Locker* star of sending her unsolicited nude images of himself and threatening to call ICE on her, Renner's lawyer, Martin Singer, dismissed the allegations in a statement to PEOPLE, calling them "false, outrageous, and highly defamatory."

"The true facts are that Ms. Zhou has relentlessly and aggressively harassed and pursued my client for months with no reciprocation on my client's part, other than a single brief encounter on July 12, 2025," Singer told the outlet on Friday.

Singer claimed that Renner and Zhou shared a "brief consensual encounter" in Reno in July and that they met again a month later after the actor ignored "sexually explicit messages expressing her love" for him.

When asked to comment on Singer's statement, a representative for Zhou responded with an Instagram post in which the director described her alleged professional and personal history with Renner.

The post claims that she collaborated with the *Mayor of Kingstown* actor on her project *Masters of Cinema: Chronicles of Disney* — a documentary about the Walt Disney Company that was released in October — which she called "a pro bono collaboration developed to benefit charitable foundations, including Mr. Renner's own."

The filmmaker added that she and Renner "developed a personal connection beginning in mid-2025," which manifested as a "long-distance" relationship that she previously described as "love" because "I consider that term the most respectful and dignified for both of us."

Zhou said Renner allegedly sent "unsolicited intimate photos and messages that were uninvited and inappropriate" and that "the first physical encounter was not consensual," though later encounters were consensual.

She also claimed that after "continued unwanted sexual content and increasing online harassment by associated fan accounts," she opted to issue a cease-and-desist letter to Renner, which she shared in a separate post, showing a letter dated Nov. 5 that demanded that Renner "cease threatening, intimidating, and disrespectful conduct."

The filmmaker said her "intention" when speaking out is "not retaliation but transparency." She added, "I have the right to protect my professional reputation, to set boundaries, and to correct misinformation when selective reporting distorts the facts."

In her original accusations on Instagram earlier this week, Zhou claimed that the *Hawkeye *actor contacted her directly in June and sent "unwanted/unsolicited pornographic images of himself via DM and [WhatsApp]." She also claimed that Renner's refusal to promote their documentary has led fans to claim that he was not actually involved in the project, and that his likeness was generated with AI to mislead viewers.

Zhou then claimed that she called Renner out privately "about his past misconduct and asked him to behave properly, to respect me as a woman and as a filmmaker" but that Renner threatened to call ICE on her, which she said "deeply shocked and frightened" her.

She added, "Such behavior is unacceptable and emblematic of the imbalance of power that continues to harm women in our industry."

In subsequent posts, Zhou accused Renner of "domestic aggressions," shared photos that she claimed were from Renner's "everyday life," suggested that he "set up" a "smear campaign" against her documentary, shared multiple screenshots from alleged conversations she had with Renner, and alleged that the actor has demonstrated a "pattern" of similar behavior with other women.

A representative for Renner did not respond to **'s requests for comment about the initial accusations or about Zhou's response to Singer's statement.**
