Brooklyn Cyclones holds Elaine Dance Competition on Seinfeld night
The contest celebrates Elaine Benes's iconic dance from the sitcom episode entitled "The Little Kicks," in which Julia Louis-Dreyfus performs some unconventional moves described on the show as, "a full-body dry heave set to music".
Several contestants gathered in the middle of the minor league team's ball park to do their best impressions in their Elaine-inspired costumes, complete with their thumbs and feet flailing as off-beat as possible.
In the winner's acceptance speech, she mentioned she was "raised by Seinfeld" and that in a way she felt "[her] whole life led [her] to this moment".

Christian Pulisic, his father and Tim Weah rail against ‘evil' US soccer critics
Tim Weah, Christian Pulisic, and Mark Pulisic (Christian's father) all delivered searing takes on ex-US men's national team players who criticized the team during their recent run of bad form, with Weah deeming the pundits to be 'evil.' The trio made the comments in the latest epsiode of the Pulsic docuseries on Paramount+, the final episodes of which were released this week. The new episodes cover the national team from the 2024 Copa América, in which the US underperformed by exiting at the group stage, up through the 2025 Nations League final, where the US lost against Panama and Canada en route to a disappointing fourth-place finish in a competition they had won in each of the previous three editions. Following that tournament, Pulisic kicked off a media firestorm when he announced that he would skip the 2025 Gold Cup, the team's last competitive tournament before next year's World Cup on home soil, due to fatigue after a second-straight 50-game season with Milan. Pulisic's decision elicited strong critiques from ex-US players like Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Charlie Davies, Jimmy Conrad, Herculez Gomez and others. 'In my opinion (they) disrespected me in a lot of ways, and completely forgot about what I've done for this national team for 10 years,' Pulisic said in the widely promoted docuseries covering nearly every aspect of his still-ongoing career, including extensive time spent on his breakthrough with the US national team. The series also includes many segments focused on Pulisic's personal life, and the role his family plays within his inner circle. His father, Mark, was a former professional soccer player, and he spoke up forcefully for his son. 'These [pundits] want clicks, social media, 'subscribe to my channels,' 'listen to my podcasts' or whatever. I think they should look in the mirror and look at their last performances for the national team before they start talking shit,' he said. 'It's jealousy. People want to be in his shoes, and they'll find any reason to bring him down. But Christian doesn't give a shit what anyone says.' Sign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson Jonathan Wilson brings expert analysis on the biggest stories from European soccer after newsletter promotion Christian also repeated a retort he used earlier this year, in an appearance on CBS Sports' Call it What You Want podcast, which had been heavily critical of his decision to withdraw from the Gold Cup 'I'd say the most annoying thing, and for me the biggest cop-out of all time, is when all pundits say 'they didn't want it,' 'they didn't have the heart,' 'back in our day we would fight and we would die on the field,' he said, insisting again that national team results affect him deeply. The most scathing retort, though, came from winger Tim Weah. 'I think those guys are chasing checks, and for me I just feel like they're really evil,' he said. 'They've been players, and they know what it's like when you're getting bashed. Those are the same guys that'll turn around and shake your hand and try to be friendly with you at the end of the day. Don't get me wrong, I respect all of them. They were players I looked up to. But quite frankly, the guys before us didn't win anything either … Christian himself has had a better career than every single one of the guys that speak negative on us.' Pulisic finished last season as one of Milan's best players in a season when the team won the Supercoppa Italia but lost in the Coppa Italia final, lost in the knockout round of the Uefa Champions League, and finished eighth in the Serie A table. The team will not play in European competition this year, with Pulisic missing time in preseason due to an ankle injury.

Caitlin Clark reveals major concern for Taylor Swift's New Heights special appearance
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will be sat in front of her computer like many Americans on Wednesday night, dialed in to watch Taylor Swift 's appearance on 'New Heights'. The podcast appearance for the 14-time Grammy winner alongside boyfriend Travis Kelce, and his older brother Jason Kelce, will see Swift show the album cover for 'The Life of a Showgirl' and likely give a huge glimpse into the relationship of the 'Anti-Hero' singer and Chiefs tight end. The most anticipated episode in 'New Heights' history will stream starting at 7 p.m. Eastern, with Clark clearly interested, but also revealing a concern that the live broadcast may not go as planned. 'Are we sure YouTube isn't going to crash tonight?' Clark said on X. Her question quickly elicited a response from the official New Heights account - 'See you in the live chat!' Clark is friends with both Swift and the Kelce brothers and beat her 'Karma' performer mate to being a guest on New Heights back in January. Her appearance on New Heights came a few weeks before she joined Swift in a luxury suite in Kansas City for the Chiefs playoff game against the Houston Texans. Clark's excitement to see Swift and Kelce interact on his podcast was already evident, as she shared the preview clip for the episode on her Instagram story. The Fever guard also commented on the same video, 'AHHHHHHH!!!!!! LFGGGGGG'. Clark and Kelce attended one night of the 'Eras Tour' together at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, with the Iowa alumnus going to three shows on Swift's stadium tour. The one night Clark did not attend Swift's three-show stay in Indianapolis, she admitted on New Heights to looking to the home of the Colts to try and get a glimpse of the concert from her downtown residence. YouTube has more than 120million daily users, making its website likely ready for the barrage of Swifties and NFL fans eagerly anticipating the episode.

Don't be fooled into microbladed brows or lip blush – I too was sold a lie but I'm still getting laser 9 years on
WAKING up with perfectly sculpted brows and a rosy lip tint - is what most people want after getting microbladed brows and lip blush. But for one beauty fan, this wasn't the case. The TikToker, who is known as ' mskittenheels ', has shared her story online and it's racked up over 218.2k views in just a few days. Back in 2016, she was sold on the idea of getting microblading, which is a type of cosmetic tattoo where a small blade is used to create tiny, hair-like strokes on your eyebrows, along with a lip blush. But she was told that it would fade away in around 18 months. But fast forward nine years to 2025, "they still haven't gone.' While the makeup did fade from its original "thin and brightness" she loved, the beauty fan revealed that it just didn't disappear. The lip blush, in particular, bled over her natural lip line as her skin softened with age, leaving her with a look she never wanted. But now she is trying to get rid of it, and now she is in the middle of a painful removal process, using saline for her lips and laser for her brows, with several more sessions to go. She wants everyone to know: "It's so much more painful to get rid of it than it is to have it done." "Don't be fooled," she writes in the caption section. She was told it was semi-permanent, but she realised it's just "a tattoo on your face." I tried the viral '53 method' to banish my 'chins' without going under the knife and the results were astonishing But she explains that her biggest takeaway is microblading and lip blush aren't temporary, they're permanent, and getting rid of them is a long and painful journey. One wrote: 'When I heard about these 10 years ago, I knew exactly how they would look within a few years.' To which she replied: 'I wish I had that foresight. I'm really regretting mine.' A second added: 'Don't forget the dreaded upper and lower eye liner that looks like eye shadow now.' 2 To which the TikToker replied: 'I'm so glad I didn't have that (I was too nervous about the pain around my eyes) but yes I've seen that on other people and it's turned a blue colour.' Someone else asked: 'I really want my microblading removed but worried about how much it'll cost and how many sessions I'll need. How much did your session cost?' And the TikToker replied: 'My original session was nine years ago and it cost about £240 at the time and then £80 for the top up a few weeks later. 'Honestly I wouldn't recommend it after all the pain I'm going through to get them removed but others have told me theirs have come out fabulous so I really think it depends on who you go to and the technique used.' Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using. A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture. SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine. Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.
