Viral Ole Miss Fan Identified as Sara Smith: Why Is She Suddenly Famous?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

College football fans are used to seeing drama unfold on the field.

But sometimes, the most entertaining action is happening in the stands.

That was certainly the case during Ole Miss’ wild 41-38 victory over Louisville on Sunday, when one Rebels fan unexpectedly became the star of the show after ESPN cameras caught her having what appeared to be a minor emotional crisis.

The woman, identified online as Sara Smith, was shown during the third quarter as Louisville attempted a comeback.

With Ole Miss clinging to a 24-22 lead, the Cardinals scored a touchdown — and Smith’s reaction said pretty much everything.

She raised her arms, put her hands on her head and appeared visibly distressed as she watched the action unfold.

In other words, she looked exactly like every college football fan who has ever watched their team’s supposedly comfortable lead disappear before their very eyes.

Of course, she had no idea she was about to become internet famous.

Smith was sitting among Ole Miss supporters, apparently cheering for the Rebels, when the ESPN camera found her in the crowd.

It didn’t take long for social media sleuths to start doing what social media sleuths do best: identifying strangers.

The X account Campus Cuties publicly identified the woman as Smith and subsequently shared a photo of her in a blue bikini, adding another layer to the unexpected viral moment.

An Instagram account believed to belong to Smith is private, though its bio reportedly identifies her as an Ole Miss alum from Knoxville.

As of Tuesday, Smith had not publicly addressed her sudden internet fame.

Frankly, it’s probably for the best. After all, she was just trying to survive an Ole Miss football game.

The Rebels eventually made sure her suffering had a happy ending.

Freshman kicker Lucas Carneiro drilled a 48-yard field goal as time expired, giving Ole Miss the dramatic 41-38 victory in the Music City Kickoff.

So while the players will get credit for the win, Smith may have walked away with something arguably more powerful: a viral moment she never asked for.

It’s become something of a college football tradition at this point.

Every season, cameras find an unsuspecting fan in the crowd, the internet decides that person is fascinating, and suddenly someone who was simply attending a game is being discussed by thousands of strangers online.

This time, Smith drew the lucky — or perhaps deeply unlucky — straw.

Hey, at least her team won. And now Ole Miss fans have someone to talk about who’s not named Lane Kiffin.

Lindsay Clancy Attorney Asks Donald Trump to Pardon His Client, Puzzling Americans …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Last week, the Lindsay Clancy trial ended in a mistrial after one holdout juror refused to acquit.

Prosecutors appear to still be weighing their options about what comes next.

Meanwhile, Clancy’s attorney would love to end this for his client, for potential jurors, and for the nation.

He’s even asking Donald Trump to pardon Clancy. Is that how this works?

Will Donald Trump pardon Lindsay Clancy?

On the Tuesday, September 8 episode of ABC’s Good Morning America, Lindsay Clancy’s attorney made a surprising plea.

Kevin Reddington sat down for an interview with George Stephanopoulos in the wake of his client’s mistrial last week.

“Mr. President,” he said during the talk, “I would hope that you would consider this young lady and the person she is, what she’s been through.”

Reddington continued: “And consider a pardon.”

A pardon is a use of executive clemency that, in this case, allows a sitting President to wipe away a federal conviction — even preemptively.

We’ll get into why this is such a surprising request in a moment.

As a reminder, prosecutors have charged Clancy with three counts of murder.

She allegedly strangled her 3 young children before attempting to die by suicide by jumping out a window, only to end up paralyzed.

This is an obvious case of post-partum psychosis, a are but dangerous after-effect of childbirth. The prosecution has (absurdly) claimed that Clancy was in full control of her actions before and during the murder.

The Clancy trial has ignited a bizarre culture war, with certain conservative factions of the internet attempting to spin this family tragedy into some vague and difficult-to-define conspiracy in which women and doctors have conjured up a fake mental illness as a get-out-of-motherhood-free-card.

Why is a pardon such a strange ask in this case?

Attorneys who have any amount of national attention might often ask for a pardon.

After all, there’s no anti-pardon. Officially, presidents and governors do not have the power to go “actually, I order a conviction.”

While it’s clear that Kevin Reddington is reasoning that you miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take, it’s unclear how this would benefit Lindsay Clancy.

Clancy is facing state charges. A Trump pardon, if she received one, would only impact charges at the federal level … of which there are none.

If Reddington is playing whatever-dimensional chess with some broad PR or legal strategy, we’re unsure what it is.

Trump has made broad, unorthodox, and brazenly corrupt use of executive clemency over the past couple of years.

From pardoning reality TV criminals to January 6th insurrectionists who attacked America to random other awful people, a clear pattern has emerged.

Trump is offering pardons to his allies, but also to people who have made massive donations to him.

Clancy is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair. The next time that Trump calls for insurgents to murder members of congress, it’s unclear of what help she could be. Similarly, it’s unclear if she could meet his price — if, again, he had any clemency powers that could benefit her directly.

Prosecutors should really not have brought this case to trial, and instead offered a deal that acknowledges Clancy’s mental state at the time. If prosecutors insist upon bringing this case to trial again, perhaps Clancy’s attorney will as for a pardon at the state level, instead.

Sydney Sweeney’s Lingerie Line ‘Has Been a Disaster,’ Insider Claims

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Sydney Sweeney is one of the most popular actresses on the planet.

But it seems that her attempt to parlay that fame into a second career as a fashion mogul has not gone according to plan.

Clearly inspired by Skims, the brand that helped make Kim Kardashian a billionaire, Sydney’s SYRN lingerie line launched in January with the founder and CEO also serving as the company’s top model.

But eight months after its debut, SYRN is reportedly enduring a major sales slump.

“It’s been a disaster,” an insider tells Radar Online.

“They thought it would be a sellout based on Sydney’s brand, but clearly her saleability is waning rapidly.”

The problem, according to some industry analysts, is that Sydney basically took the opposite of Kim’s approach.

While Skims prides itself on offering items for all shapes and, SYRN’s ad campaigns often feel as though they’re centered on the sexiness of the brand’s founder.

“SYRN’s branding feels exclusionary,” states a review on The Robin Report.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney)

“It does not invite women in; it asks them to emulate and fawn over the founder. And the inconsistency between the brand’s intention and execution is a threat to its long-term viability.”

The review goes on to allege that the brand’s Sydney-centric ad campaigns have been off-putting to potential customers.

“The brand ultimately remains centered on one figure: Sydney Sweeney. It’s as if the underwear is not actually the product; Sweeney’s body is,” it reads.

Sydney has noted on several occasions that SYRN offers a wide array of sizes.

But while Skims and Rihanna’s Fenty brand make a point of showcasing models with different body types, SYRN ads do tend to keep the focus on Sydney herself.

It makes sense that the company’s marketing team would choose to go in that direction.

After all, Sydney has a massive following online, and she knows what her audience likes.

But while Sydney certainly has no problem attracting the internet’s attention, there’s a big difference between appealing to horny dudes online and selling lingerie to a mostly female customer base.

And the gap between those demographics is often reflected in the comments on Sydney’s SYRN posts:

“This is so sexy, yet it doesn’t appeal to me because this is shot from a male gaze. I think lingerie should be shot from a female gaze because at the end of the day, the girl needs to feel sexy,” wrote one commenter.

“This brand could blow up the way it really should if there is some inclusivity featured in the media… I mean look at skims

“This is sooooooo male gaze. the garments are beautiful, and the photoshoot is too, but the poses could be SO much more tasteful if your target consumers are women,” a third chimed in.

Again, it makes perfect sense why the SYRN marketing gurus leaned into Sydney’s sex appeal to launch the brand. But it seems like the time has come to begin considering alternative strategies.

Pamela Anderson: My Doctors Gave Me 10 Years to Live

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pamela Anderson was told by doctors that she was going to die.

Doctors were just telling her her most likely prognosis with the medicines that existed at the time.

The Naked Gun star did manage to survive, thanks to a medical breakthrough.

Now, Pamela does not consider herself to be a victim. She sees herself as a victor.

‘I probably had around 10 years to live,’ Pamela Anderson recalls

In the late 1990s, Pamela Anderson received her hepatitis C diagnosis, which she attributed to having shared a tattoo needle with abusive ex-husband Tommy Lee.

Speaking at the 2026 amfAR Gala Venezia on Sunday, September 6, Variety covered as the actress elaborated upon the harrowing health journey.

“It was a death sentence,” she told the crowd, who were there to raise funds for medical research.

At the time of her diagnosis, there was no cure to hep C.

“That’s what my doctor told me,” Pamela recalled. “That I probably had around 10 years to live.”

Speaking to the audience in Venice, Pamela admitted that her terminal diagnosis likely “colored and corrupted my decisions.”

She explained: “It was not fear of death, but fear of what might happen to my young children.”

Those children were no longer so young. Those total smokeshows are 30-year-old Brandon Thomas and 28-year-old Dylan Jagger.

“It turned my life inside out,” Pamela characterized.

Fortunately, a medical cure for hepatitis C was approved in 2011. By 2015, she was free of the disease.

‘I’m a victor’

Though Pamela Anderson was able to recover from hepatitis C, it came with a cost. In a literal sense.

She admitted on Sunday that the medication “took everything I had in my bank.”

Additionally, Pamela expressed that her “experience of shame and guilt was also an unconscious journey” that “stays” with and still “haunts” her.

“And just like the sexual abuse that I endured as a child, it felt like it was carved into my forehead: Damaged goods,” she admitted.

Pamela added: “And I presented myself as such.”

“I’m a victor,” Pamela declared.

“I am strong and capable, more now than I could ever dream of,” she expressed.

“I’m not the damsel in distress,” Pamela asserted, “no matter how easy that role is to play.”

At the Sunday event, she received the Award of Courage.

Pamela may have some troubling ideas on multiple topics, but her courage is unquestionable. We’re glad that a cure for hepatitis C was discovered and greenlit. Modern medicine truly is a marvel.

Donald Trump Threatens to Rename New Mexico to ‘New America’ (Which Makes No …

Reading Time: 4 minutes

What is Donald Trump up to now?

Over Labor Day weekend, he began posting a series of threats to unilaterally rename a US state to spite another country in a trade war that he started for reasons that only he knows.

New Mexico is the country’s fifth-largest state. Trump is suggesting renaming it “New America.”

It doesn’t make sense on any level. But could he do it? What’s this really about?

Does Donald Trump plan to rename New Mexico?

America’s mad king is at it again.

On Sunday, September 6, Donald Trump took to Truth Social, his private social media site, to share a bizarre graphic.

In the graphic — AI slop, like most of his posts — “New Mexico” has been replaced with “New America.”

New Mexico is the 47th State of the Union, admitted in 1912 (on January 6th, a day that felt considerably less ominous back then). It was a territory long before that.

The idea of renaming a state due to the capricious whims of a dementia-riddled tyrant would be a farcical joke for a political sitcom if we lived in a better timeline. Alas, we do not.

Trump reportedly posted menacing graphics suggesting this absurd renaming eight times within a measure of hours.

We have to emphasize that, before New Mexico was a state, it was New Mexico Territory.

For centuries before that, it was Santa Fe de Nuevo México — so named for the Spanish, in a name inspired by the Mexica people who were victims of Spanish colonization, enslavement, and genocide in central America and southern North America.

The idea of calling part of the continental US “New America” is patently absurd on its face. Even if we were not discussing some lunatic despot’s desire to rename a state due to an absurd trade dispute that exists only because of his ego,

Is that even something that he can do? Not really. But, as we have seen repeatedly, he can sort of do whatever he wants if other members of the government are too feckless to stop him.

Could he even do that? What’s really going on?

Just over a week before Donald Trump decided to start antagonizing (yet another) US state for now reason, he “renamed” Lake Ontario.

Obviously, Lake Ontario is still Lake Ontario. In fact, it bore the name Ontario long before Canada existed.

The Great Lake had the name before the Canadian province did. It stems from an Iriquoian name for the “Lake of Shining Waters.” (During French colonialism, there were attempts to give the lake other names … but, to date, no mad king has managed to make it stick.)

And, of course, many months ago, Trump announced that he was “renaming” the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of America.

There are worse timelines, as hard as it is to believe. But our worldstate is so absurdly stupid that, sometimes, people struggle to imagine things being even worse than they are right now.

Another AI slop post by Donald Trump is seemingly meant to retroactively describe the ancestral territory of New Mexico by a revisionist name. (Image Credit: Truth Social)

Trump has the authority to direct the federal government to change which names are displayed on maps. This changes nothing in reality. Not for New Mexico, not for Lake Ontario, and not for the Gulf of Mexico.

What is this all about?

Well, for one thing, Trump cannot simply be belligerent at US trading partners, longtime allies, or historical adversaries like Iran. The bullying, lies, and bluster that allowed him to navigate the business world with the appearance of success do not work with international diplomacy.

He can, however, pretend that renaming bodies of water — or even states — is some sort of victory.

More than that, however, Trump is desperate to leave some sort of legacy. Not like a traditional president, who wants to make the world better for future generations. It is more as though Trump wants to leave behind a scar — changes so deep and wounds so painful that the world cannot simply erase him from memory.

That’s as much of an explanation for the desecration of the White House to why he’s turning so much of DC ugly and gaudy and building his big stupid arch. When he is defeated, it will be up to the next administration to clean up his mess and erase all of the harm that he has done (yes, including architecturally).

Salma Hayek Posts Fully Nude Pics to Celebrate 60th Birthday

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Salma Hayek is officially 60, and apparently, she has no time for silly concepts like “dressing your age.”

The actress celebrated her milestone birthday by ditching her clothes and taking a dip in the ocean, and why not?

Turning 60 seems like the perfect excuse to leave your swimsuit on the shore.

Salma, whose birthday was September 2, shared the revealing photos on Instagram Monday, giving fans an eyeful as she enjoyed the water in nothing but her birthday suit.

In one photo, the ageless actress smiled while lounging in the shallow water, with the waves strategically covering her body.

Another snap showed Hayek standing in the ocean with her back to the camera while seemingly enjoying a carefree moment in the surf.

And her caption was refreshingly simple.

“60 and grateful,” she wrote.

Naturally, fans were more than happy to celebrate the milestone with her.

“60 yet ageless … Father Time must be smitten with you,” one admirer commented.

“60 years of sweetness, talent, grace, and a beauty that shines from the inside out,” another gushed.

But if anyone is surprised that Hayek is comfortable showing off her body at 60, they clearly haven’t been paying attention.

The actress has spent years refusing to let Hollywood’s obsession with youth dictate how she feels about aging.

In April 2025, Hayek told People that she wasn’t interested in trying to look younger. Instead, she wanted to look good for her age — and, perhaps more importantly, still get that reaction from her husband, François-Henri Pinault.

“I just want my husband to still go, ‘Wow’ when he looks at me,” she said.

Hayek added that she was perfectly happy embracing the beauty that comes with getting older.

“I’m more excited about being 50 and 60 and looking good at 50 and 60,” she explained. “It’s a different kind of beauty.”

This isn’t even Hayek’s first birthday thirst trap.

For Salma’s 59th birthday last year, she posed in a red bikini aboard a yacht while holding what appeared to be a cocktail.

“59 trips around the sun and still dancing,” she captioned that post.

And in 2025, Hayek took things one step further when she landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit at 58, posing in a green bikini during a poolside shoot.

At the time, she admitted that the opportunity once seemed completely unimaginable.

“If somebody had told me I was gonna be in it at 58, I would have sent them to the madhouse,” she said.

Now, at 60, she’s still turning heads, still making headlines and apparently still perfectly comfortable reminding everyone that getting older doesn’t mean getting boring.

Brandi Glanville Reveals Grueling Treatments in Bitter Health Update

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Brandi Glanville’s latest health update is not a good one.

For a couple of years, her facial deformity was a medical mystery that seemed like extreme bad luck.

Now, Brandi believes that she has her answer.

But she is also undergoing hours of daily treatments, IVs, and medications.

What is wrong with Brandi Glanville?

In a series of Instagram updates over Labor Day weekend, Brandi Glanville did more than just tell her fans how she’s doing.

She showed us all her IV setup, explaining that she needs it — and has become dangerously thin.

One problem is that she is unable to taste her food.

Brandi admitted that she feels like “death” after years of her ongoing health battle.

Unfortunately, this first glimpse at her in-home healthcare setup was only a preview.

A post shared by Brandi Glanville (@brandiglanville)

On Monday, August 8, Brandi revealed that she now spends nearly 20 hours a day on IV medication.

(That is, among other things, super bad for your blood vessels in the long run.)

Brandi expressed that she feels desperate to be rid of the thing that has been plaguing her face.

She even grasped her cheek at one point, highlighting where she can feel the intrusion.

Though Brandi feels a desire to “cut my face open and just take it out,” she knows that she cannot. (A key difference between a physical disease and certain forms of psychosis is whether or not someone believes that they can find relief through performing surgery on themselves.)

Does she finally have a real diagnosis — and a solution?

Brandi Glanville told TMZ that she knows what’s wrong.

She credits Dr. Mark Farber from Sherman Oaks as identifying what is in her cheek and causing her such trouble.

(At least, he reviewed her MRI and said that he knows what’s wrong.)

That said, Brandi says that she’s not ready to share that just yet. Not with the public.

For now, it is enough to know that she (hopefully) knows what’s wrong.

On her August 8, 2026 Instagram caption, Brandi Glanville promised to share more about her health journey in the future. (Image Credit: Instagram)

Brandi has spent years — and a small fortune — trying to diagnose and cure whatever is wrong with her face.

Theories from doctors and fans alike have ranged from mold to cancer to some sort of botched filler situation and beyond.

It may be that Brandi doesn’t want to share because the answer is embarrassing.

It is also possible that she worries that the latest diagnosis is wrong, too. She has gotten a lot of false hope and dead end leads over the course of this journey.

We wish her a full and speedy recovery.
