Fans go wild for new Dallas Cowboys cheerleader as rookie shares stunning photos after making the team
Being a rookie on the most famous cheer squad in the world does not appear to faze Morgan Perschy, who shared memories from her road to become a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Perschy was one of six rookies to make the team this year, officially announcing she made the cut in a long post on July 20. Nearly a month later, she shared a behind-the-scenes look from that journey, which started before she graduated from Arizona State with the esteemed Summa Cum Laude recognition. Perschy, 22, appears to have been No 25 for her auditions, as she has that bib on in multiple photos, including the first snap in a roll of Instagram photos where she dons a blue sparkly dress. Next is a group shot wearing a pink and blue cheerleading outfit, with the Dallas Cowboys logo prominent on the top. A third photo shows Preschy donning the iconic white and blue Cowobys' cheerleading outfit, as she has a huge smile on her face. Several fans and others commented on Perschy's post, giving her props for hitting the career milestone months after graduation. 'My Morg!!!! I just love you so much, into football season we go babe!!!!' one person said. 'This gave me the best flashbacks,' fellow cheerleader Parker Kilpatrick added. Several other members of Dallas' cheerleading squad also posted their congratulations to Perschy on her post. Perschy is dating baseball player Nathan Baez, a fellow Sun Devils alumnus, who currently plays for the Wichita Wind Surge, the Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. Coming off of a disappointing 2024 on the field, the Cowboys will kick off their regular season in the NFL's first game on the official slate on September 4 against the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas enters the season with its best player, Micah Parsons, holding out of practice and requesting a trade. The team also has to contend with the two teams from last season's NFC Championship Game, the Eagles and Washington Commanders, being division rivals.

Paramount+ have announced this week that Mayor of Kingstown season four will be premiering on the streaming service on Sunday, 26th October. This riveting crime drama follows Jeremy Renner as Mike McClusky, the right-hand man to his brother who acts as an unofficial 'Mayor' of the fictional Kingstown, where the business of incarceration reigns supreme. When his brother dies in the very first episode, Mike is forced to take over, leading his powerful family as mediators between Kingstown's inmates, cops and gangs.

Also joining the cast is The Walking Dead's Lennie James, The Gilded Age's Laura Benanti, Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley and Nishi Munshi. A synopsis for the upcoming season reads: 'In season four, Mike's control over Kingstown is threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians' wake, compelling him to confront the resulting gang war and stop them from swallowing the town. 'Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever before, Mike must contend with a headstrong new Warden to protect his own while grappling with demons from his past.' If you're not already caught up on the hit thriller, take these next couple of months before season four premieres as the perfect opportunity to catch up. Fans have given Mayor of Kingstown overwhelmingly perfect 5/5 scores on Google, with one reviewer writing: 'Jeremy Renner is perfect. His supporting cast is so good they could all have singular story lines of their own. 'I'm so impressed. Can you tell? Ha! By far one of the best modern dramas I've binge watched in YEARS. Possibly, EVER.' Another five-star review said: 'Very few television shows draw my attention so quickly and have me invested in its characters. Jeremy Renner gives an Emmy worthy performance in every episode.' They went on to describe each episode as a 'movie experience' and concluded the series has the 'same caliber of all around excellence' as Netflix's crime hit Ozark. And a final fan raved: 'I absolutely love this series and give both seasons 10/10. 'It's very well acted and you get invested in the characters. It's gripping and extremely binge worthy addictive.' Will you be saving the date for Mike McClusky's long-awaited return to screens? Mayor of Kingstown season 4 premieres Sunday, 26th October on Paramount+.

Influencer Bridget Bahl shares update on breast cancer battle following lumpectomy procedure
Fashion influencer Bridget Bahl has shared a new update on her ongoing battle with breast cancer. The social media star, 41, was diagnosed with the disease not long after marrying Texas-based plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Chiodo in a lavish New York City wedding. This week, she went into hospital for a lumpectomy, which she plans to follow up with radiation, immunotherapy and 'potentially more chemo'. Her husband Michael shared an update on Bridget's health shortly after the surgery. 'Surgery went well, it was smooth and routine,' he wrote on her Instagram page. 'Bridget has no pain in her breast whatsoever. They did remove 4 lymph nodes and that is a sensitive area so it's perfectly normal to feel pain in that area. It's exactly what our surgeon told us to anticipate,' he continued. Bridget then followed up with a post of her own where she thanked both Michael and God for helping her on her cancer journey. 'I love you so much. And you're getting pretty good at doing my makeup. I am so beyond blessed to have our wonderful husband and a wonderful community,' she wrote. 'I feel so overwhelmed thinking about how hard this would all be without him and without you. Prayers up for clean margins! I do need to declare that I believe I am healed in Jesus' name!!! God is here with me. He will make beauty from ashes.' She also urged her million followers to do their breast exams so that they wouldn't end up in hospital like her. Bridget was in the midst of fertility treatment last year when she received the devastating news about her breast cancer. She said she was 'maybe one or two days' into fertility treatment, and had a routine sonogram and blood work with her doctor, when she told him she felt something in her breast. 'And he said, "We're stopping right now, you have to... go in for imaging,' she recounted through tears in a video shared last year. The doctor called back just one day later 'and unfortunately confirmed that I do have breast cancer and that it has spread to a lymph node.' Bridget went on to have chemotherapy, surgery and radiation to treat the cancer. She explained that she decided to share the news of her diagnosis with her followers because it 'feels like way too huge of an opportunity to not share,' noting that Instagram comprises 90 percent women. 'I know that by sharing this I will help someone else catch it sooner, and that is reason enough for me,' Bahl added in the caption to her video. The average risk of a woman in the US developing breast cancer is about 13 percent, meaning that one in every eight women will develop breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. But in recent years, incidence rates have increased by 0.6 percent - though the rise in incidence rates in women under the age of 50 is steeper at 1 percent. Breast cancer is now the second leading cause of cancer death in women, only surpassed by lung cancer. The chances that any woman will die from breast cancer is currently about 1 in 40. Fashion influencer Bridget boasts over a million followers on social media. She is known for her popular clothing brand The Bar and is also big on affiliate shopping sites like LTK.
