George Pickens has yet to play his first game with the Dallas Cowboys but it appears the newest face at The Star already made a jersey change. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO — The Dallas Cowboys are building the anticipation to see their next star-studded receiving duo take the field together. They found No. 1 (or 1A) CeeDee Lamb another running mate, acquiring George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers last month. Advertisement While the team is still working back to football activities from the offseason, there is a clear fit for the two and quarterback Dak Prescott on paper. Lamb operates best out of the slot with his elusive speed and route-running ability. Meanwhile, Pickens touts an apparent one-on-one playmaking prowess that can stretch the field in a significant way. It's a matter now of making everything click through these summer months, but the Cowboys could boast one of the best tandems in the league next season. And with that excitement of how they will look, Pickens has added a little more intrigue this week with a sudden change. Originally choosing and using the No. 13 thus far, it appears he has made a change. The Cowboys shared the image above in a post to X this morning captioned "PICK3NS." There has been no further announcement with regard to a number swap though fans can find Pickens' new jersey on the NFL Shop website. Advertisement Regardless, the last name stitched above the new digit seems to make this shift clear. Coincidentally, this is the second time a Cowboy has switched over from the No. 13 this offseason after DeMarvion Overshown ditched that number for the No. 0 he has coveted since his rookie season. Pickens has not worn the No. 3 to this point, having worn No. 1 at Georgia and No. 14 during his three years with the Steelers. Perhaps some clarity will follow on this sudden change Whichever number he decides to wear, fans will want to see Pickens creating plenty of separation from defenders in the open field where he will be impossible not to recognize.

'Wicked' star Cynthia Erivo laughs at critics of her playing Jesus in upcoming musical
"Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo doesn't see an issue with playing the role of Jesus Christ in an upcoming performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar." In a recent interview with Billboard, the actress laughed off outrage that she would be playing Jesus in an upcoming rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical. "Why not?" she asked Billboard when asked about people saying she shouldn't perform the role. "You can't please everyone." Erivo is set to perform in the rock opera at the upcoming Hollywood Bowl production of the musical that runs from August 1 to August 3 this year. News that the actress would be Jesus caused controversy for Christians and conservatives on social media last February. At the time, Christian pastor, John K. Amanchukwu Sr., complained about the casting on social media, stating, "With all due respect, and humbly submitted, Cynthia Erivo is too BALD, BROWN, and BI to play Jesus. Casting a woman as Jesus Christ is an intentional form of blasphemy that Hollywood would be fuming over if done to certain other religions." Conservative Christian influencer Alexandra Lains posted her complaints about the casting decision, stating, "Christianity seems to be the only religion that's never off limits for Hollywood to disrespect. Cynthia Erivo, a black woman, as Jesus Christ? Please stop with the lunacy." The Billboard interview, published on Monday, noted that Erivo "can't help but laugh" at the outrage. She justified taking the role and said people will get over it once they see it. "It is legitimately a three-day performance at the Hollywood Bowl where I get to sing my face off. So, hopefully they will come and realize, 'Oh, it's a musical, the gayest place on Earth,'" she said. Erivo was nominated for Best Actress for her performance in the hit musical "Wicked" as Elphaba. Elsewhere during the interview, the entertainer weighed in on President Donald Trump's overhaul of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., in February. Trump fired several Kennedy Center board members, including the president and chairman, and replaced them with pro-Trump figures, who then named the president as chairman. The outlet said that Erivo expressed "dread" over the recent Kennedy Center changes. She told Billboard, "I don't know who gains what from that. I hope that it comes back," she says. "It's really sad to have to watch this happen to it. The Kennedy Center is supposed to be a space of creativity and art and music for everyone."

"We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful." Jackman has yet to release any official statement regarding the end of his 27-year marriage, however a source told US Weekly that the X-Men actor was "heartbroken" by Furness's comments. "Her statement took Hugh and mutual friends by surprise because she wasn't very direct with who she was speaking about but was alluding to Hugh," the insider said. "That added emotional weight to it." As for his budding romance with Foster? A source recently told Us Weekly that the duo are still going strong. "They are trying to navigate this delicately,' the insider said. 'She has been very supportive.' Read the original article on InStyle
