‘Wheel of Fortune' host Ryan Seacrest face-plants while attempting stunt on game show
During the May 19 episode of the beloved game show, the 50-year-old TV host took a tumble during the closing segment, igniting a wholesome response from co-host Vanna White.
While wrapping up the 'Margaritaville'-themed episode, Seacrest tripped over his feet and managed to do a full somersault while trying to get onto his inflatable parrot-shaped pool float.
'I need a breather after that,' he told White, who was comfortably lounging on her float. 'Why do you look like you've done this before?'
'Because I have. Just relax,' she responded.
'I've never heard that term before,' he joked.

'Ryan Seacrest is my spirit animal,' one fan commented.
This is not the first time the TV host has wiped out on stage.
In April, Seacrest took a dramatic tumble while filming the game show.
During the episode, he revealed that one of his favorite new festivals is the Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling Festival, which is hosted in the United Kingdom.

He explained that participants at the festival race down a hill to chase after a wheel of cheese. At the end of the race, participants win the massive cheese wheel.
In an effort to demonstrate, Seacrest took a tumble and face-planted on the stage.
'Oh no! Are you going to be OK?' White asked Seacrest before confirming, 'He's OK!'
The 'American Idol' host ran back to center stage and held up the 'Wheel of Fortune' cheese. He then hid behind White, out of breath and waved goodnight to the viewers.

In one viral moment from a March episode, a former professional wrestler named Bill Page put Seacrest in a headlock.
Page was seen grabbing Seacrest by the neck, with one arm underneath the host's chin and the other firmly on top of his head.
At first, Seacrest did not resist and was all smiles. However, as Page continued to hold the host in a headlock and lowered his body to the ground, Seacrest began to tap out.
The host continuously banged his hand on the game show table, as he indicated that he had enough of the intense wrestling move.

Lakers' LeBron James is going through it with his new love
The post Lakers' LeBron James is going through it with his new love appeared first on ClutchPoints. As many people get older and approach retirement, they often start to take up new hobbies. Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is no exception, having recently shared his love for the game of golf. However, despite the game of golf being as simple as seeing the ball and then hitting the ball, James still seems to be experiencing some growing pains with his new love. 'Sheesh! I'm about to golf in this, huh,' James said to his Instagram story while showing off a course smothered in fog. 'How am I supposed to track my ball in this? It doesn't even matter if I hit straight! The fu-' Hopefully, the morning fog eventually lifted, and James was able to track his ball. As long as his swing isn't like NBA legend Charles Barkley's, he shouldn't have any trouble tracking his ball, either, regardless of the weather. But for now, golf isn't James's only focus this offseason – especially with what's coming up. Retiring and enjoying golf full-time isn't the agenda quite yet for Lakers superstar LeBron James Once James wraps up playing on the course, he'll return to his main focus. When the 2025-26 campaign begins, James will play a historic 23rd NBA season with the Lakers, becoming the first player in league history to reach that milestone. At 40, the Lakers star remains locked in. He's focused on rehabbing a sprained left knee suffered during Los Angeles's playoff loss to Minnesota. With training camp set for late September, James says he's using the offseason to get as close to 100% as possible. Despite teasing retirement in his new Amazon ad, James shows no signs of slowing down. He credits his family's support, especially from his wife, Savannah, and their three kids, for keeping his passion strong. Playing alongside son Bronny and possibly even Bryce one day adds fuel to his fire. Though he admits thoughts of retirement occasionally creep in, James is still driven by the grind, the game, and the dream. James isn't done yet. Lakers fans are ready for one more legendary ride.

LeBron James' new golf obsession rubbing off on Bronny
The post LeBron James' new golf obsession rubbing off on Bronny appeared first on ClutchPoints. LeBron James waited so long to share his love of basketball with his first-born son, an opportunity the Los Angeles Lakers officially gifted him last summer. Being teammates adds a whole new layer to their bond. Now, the two men are looking to grow their relationship on the links. The elder James is the latest NBA superstar to catch the golf bug, and he is apparently spreading it to Bronny. As he continues to chronicle his journey in this incredibly demanding sport, the four-time Finals MVP posted a video on Instagram of them driving in a golf cart together on Sunday afternoon. James is quickly getting comfortable on the greens after picking up the game in July, as demonstrated by a vastly improved swing, but he obviously does not wish to dive further into this world without the younger James by his side. When experiencing both the joy and misery that comes from a day at the course, it is good to have company. Judging by this short clip, it seems like it was time well spent. Although LeBron James is still in excellent condition and is playing at an incredibly impactful level 22 campaigns into his legendary NBA career, the man is 40 years old. He knows that he probably only has a few seasons left on the court before transitioning to a different phase of life. Considering the all-time great is already a billionaire, he does not need to worry about income. James can simply enjoy retirement in whatever he way he chooses, which could include honing his golf game. Even if the 13-time All-NBA First-Team selection becomes a majority owner like many anticipate, displaying competency with the clubs could come in handy during business meetings and other management-type functions. While it has only been a short time since he started playing golf, James looks more than capable. Before long, networks and sponsors will be falling over themselves to book the NBA's all-time scoring champion for a tournament. For now, though, LeBron and Bronny James are simply making memories together. They are soaking up the rest of the offseason before Lakers training camp begins in less than two months.

Woman Sells Couch on Facebook Marketplace, Then Gets Urgent Call From Buyer
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman sold a couch, but soon after received a frightening and unexpected call from the buyer, leaving her speechless. Darcy Miller, known on TikTok as @darcycass, received an urgent call shortly after selling her couch on Facebook Marketplace from the buyer. The buyer discovered a cat inside the couch. As it turns out, Miller's cat managed to sneak her way into the couch through a tear underneath. She became a stowaway, riding her way to the buyer's home silently and without anyone realizing. Miller rushed to the buyer's home as soon as she heard the news. Her July 28 Instagram video shows her attempting to lure her cat out of the couch, asking why she would do that. And because of the unfamiliar location, her feline hesitated. Newsweek reached out to @darcycass via Instagram for additional information and comment. Miller calmly and carefully talked to her cat, reassuring her that there was nothing to fear. She brought along kitty treats, hoping they would do the trick. The cat's eyes peeked out from under the couch. She looked at the strange room and retreated to her hiding space. But when she heard the crinkle of the treat bag, she took a leap of faith and came out. Miller praised her for being a "brave girl" when she finally stepped all the way out from her hiding spot. Viewer Reactions The Instagram video reached over 292,000 views as of Friday, leaving viewers cracking up over the unfortunate situation, and after knowing Miller successfully got her cat back. "Did you tell them the sofa looks great and she was just the quality control making sure it got there safe?" joked one viewer. Another added: "Sofa on Marketplace: $50. Sofa w/a bonus cat inside: Priceless." A third person said: "Poor baby went for a nap, woke up in a whole new world." What viewers find even crazier is that this wasn't the first video they saw involving couches sold on Facebook Marketplace and cats. Newsweek previously reported on the other incident, when a buyer found a cat crawling out of the couch at 3 a.m. This time, the buyer kept the cat, as the seller said she did not belong to them. Screenshots from a July 28 Instagram video of a cat found hiding in the bottom of a couch after a buyer purchased it off Facebook Marketplace.
