Jessica Simpson reunited with Kim Kardashian on All's Fair
Jessica Simpson loved working with Kim Kardashian on 'All's Fair'. The 44-year-old beauty stars in one episode of the Ryan Murphy-created drama series - which also features the likes of Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson and Glenn Close - and Jessica has revealed that she relished the experience of working with her showbiz pal. Jessica told 'Extra': "I did an episode of 'All's Fair', and what a show! I mean, great cast. It is so fun … I didn't want it to end, like, I was so grateful that Ryan Murphy thought of me." Asked how she was cast in the show, Jessica replied: "Just his people called my people. "Also, like, I'm friends with Kim. I don't know if it was her idea at all, but definitely, I was glad she was on set and we had scenes together." Jessica also relished the experience of working with Naomi Watts and revealed that her role is "very crazy". She said: "It was amazing. "I mean, Naomi Watts, like, we all had a blast ... and the director, Anthony Hemingway, he made me feel so comfortable being crazy, because my role is very crazy." Meanwhile, Glenn Close recently heaped praise on Kim, describing her co-star as a "very brilliant woman". The 78-year-old actress revealed that she enjoyed spending time with the brunette beauty. Recalling their first meeting, Glenn told DailyMail.com: "I was curious. I couldn't wait to meet her. "I had never done a Ryan Murphy show before, which is a whole other universe, and I think she would be surprised at how I was. I had to find my feet." Glenn has worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names during her career. But the actress didn't feel it necessary to offer any advice to Kim. She said: "I would not presume to give Kim Kardashian advice. "I think she's a very, very brilliant woman. I think she could choose to do anything she wants. "Frankly, if she wants to be an actress, that's one road. But she could be. She's a great executive. She's a great businesswoman. She's a very, very involved mother. She's getting her law degree. So, I think she has huge potential and that she's fulfilled already as a woman."

National Spelling Bee runners-up rarely go on to win. But Faizan Zaki hopes to defy the odds
OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — With the benefit of hindsight, Vikram Raju knows there was almost no chance he would win after being a runner-up in the 2022 Scripps National Spelling Bee. 'The chances of getting that high are infinitesimally small, and the chances of doing it again are an order of magnitude smaller, obviously,' Vikram said Wednesday. 'So it's a really daunting feeling as well because you always try to outdo yourself from the previous year.' Don't tell Faizan Zaki those odds. Faizan, who lost to Bruhat Soma in a 'spell-off' tiebreaker last year, was the only speller to earn a perfect score on the written spelling and vocabulary test that determined this year's quarterfinalists. Then he breezed through seven rounds on Wednesday to become one of nine spellers who will compete in Thursday night's finals for a trophy and more than $50,000 in cash and prizes. And he's done it all with insouciant flair, sauntering to the microphone in a black hoodie, shaggy hair in his face. Once he's sure of the word, he takes his hands out of his sweatshirt pouch and matter-of-factly says each letter while he mimics typing in the air. The 13-year-old seventh-grader from Allen, Texas, finally showed a bit of vulnerability on 'coterell,' the word that got him to the finals, and he celebrated with a big fist pump after racing through its eight letters. 'It was just very relieving. I have a lot of expectations put on me, so I'm just excited that I'm going to the finals again,' Faizan said. No matter how often he flexes his knowledge of roots and unfamiliar language patterns, historical trends suggest Faizan is an underdog. In 96 bees over 100 years, only four runners-up have later gone on to win, and just one did so in the last 44 years: Sean Conley, the 2001 champion who finished second the year before. 'Hopefully I can get it done,' Faizan said. 'Especially back home, all of my friends, they tell me that I need to win this year.' Other runners-up Disappointment has taken many forms for recent runners-up. Naysa Modi, who finished second in 2018, was eliminated in 2019 by a written test that winnowed the field to 50 spellers, only to watch in dismay as the bee declared eight co-champions who aced words that she also knew. Simone Kaplan, the runner-up to those 2019 'octo-champs,' didn't get a chance to come back because the 2020 bee was canceled due to COVID-19. Chaitra Thummala, runner-up to Zaila Avant-garde in 2021, never contended again, even though she had two more years before she aged out of the competition. Spellers can't be older than 15 or past the eighth grade. Then came Vikram, who didn't make it back in 2023 after a regional bee in Denver that lasted 53 rounds over a span of more than five hours. Vikram and his parents unsuccessfully appealed to Scripps that he misspelled because the bee's pronouncer made one of several mistakes. Now 15, Vikram returned to the bee to support his younger brother, Ved — who bowed out in the semifinals — and he's long past any bitter feelings about how his spelling career ended. 'Even if you know every single word in the dictionary, there are just factors that are completely out of your control,' Vikram said. 'The nerves might get too big someday. Maybe the audience is distracting you in that one moment. Maybe your tongue slips. Maybe you get too excited.' 'I don't want to say that luck is the most important factor, but it's a huge factor in this competition,' he continued. Youth and experience Jacques Bailly has been the bee's lead pronouncer for 22 years, or nearly three times as long as this year's youngest speller has been alive. Yet meeting Bailly was the highlight of a precocious bee debut for Zachary Teoh, an 8-year-old second-grader from Houston. 'We got to read the dictionary together!' Zachary exclaimed. Zachary was better than half the field in his bee debut. Out of 243 spellers, his official placement was a tie for 74th place after he bowed out on a vocabulary word — 'manifold' — during the quarterfinals. He said he felt like it was among the more difficult vocabulary questions, and he knew how to spell the word even though he couldn't define it. If Zachary somehow makes it back to the bee in each of his six remaining years of eligibility, he would break the record of six appearances held by Akash Vukoti, who debuted in 2016 at age 6 and spelled his final word in 2023. Zachary wore a green tartan cardigan that he said has been his lucky garment since kindergarten. It's getting a bit snug. 'If they give me a new one,' he said, referring to his proud parents, 'I can wear both.' ___ Ben Nuckols has covered the Scripps National Spelling Bee since 2012. Follow his work here.
