Jean Smart signs a ‘Hacks' fan's arm as Deborah Vance… and it became a tattoo
An Instagram video from Friday showed the 'Hacks' star greeting fans outside of the theater where her Broadway show 'Call Me Izzy' is playing, when one fan approached her asking that she sign her arm with name Deborah Vance.
Vance, of course, is Smart's brash and larger-than-life comedienne character on 'Hacks.'
Smart looked completely stunned when the fan told her she planned on getting a tattoo of the signature on her arm.
'You're gonna what,' a seemingly perplexed Smart asked her. 'Are you serious?'
The admirer assured her that she was totally serious, and Smart worried that she might mess up the signature.
'Deborah Vance doesn't mess up,' the admirer is heard telling Smart in the clip. The Emmy-winner then gave a look and quipped, 'That's true. Thank you for reminding me.'
Smart, who had been sitting, stood and nervously signed the arm. The social media video included a photo of her completed tattoo.
Last year, Smart won her third Emmy for her portrayal of the Las Vegas standup legend in the popular HBO comedy, and is nominated again for the same gong this September.
HBO is owned by CNN's parent company.

The end of a TV era: And Just Like That... season three will be the show's last
Things happen fast in New York City. One week, you're celebrating Carrie and Aidan's breakup, the next you're mourning the loss of your favourite show. In a shocking move, HBO has announced that And Just Like That... will end with season three. The last episode will air in two weeks, with no hope of a season four. "And just like that... the ongoing storytelling of the Sex and the City universe is coming to an end," began a statement from showrunner Michael Patrick King, posted on Instagram on Friday 1 August. "While I was writing the last episode of And Just Like That... season three, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop." Michael continued, saying that he, alongside Sarah Jessica Parker and HBO execs Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, mutually decided to end the series with a two-part finale. "SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season," he wrote. "It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years." It's unclear if And Just Like That... was cancelled by the network or naturally came to an end on its own. Viewership for the show's third (and now final) season had reportedly been declining, and it's possible that all the "love to hate it" discourse became too much to ignore. Or maybe Sarah Jessica Parker and her fellow co-stars, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, Sarita Choudhury, and Nicole Ari Parker were simply ready to say goodbye. Whatever the reason, it sounds like this might be the last time fans ever get to see Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda on their screens — note Michael's use of the term "Sex and the City universe". It's truly the end of a television era. And Just Like That... will end with a two-part series finale, with part one airing on Thursday 7 August, and part two airing on August 14.

DeMarcus Cousins: Nikola Jokic Considered Retirement Instead Of Signing $300 Million Supermax Deal
DeMarcus Cousins: Nikola Jokic Considered Retirement Instead Of Signing $300 Million Supermax Deal originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Nikola Jokic's enthusiasm for horse racing is a well-known fact in the NBA community, and in some ways, even outweighs his love for basketball. Still, the idea that Jokic nearly retired before signing his contract extension comes as a surprise. Former Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins recently shared the story of how Jokic was contemplating retirement instead of signing a supermax deal on the "Straight Game Podcast". He recalled: "When I was with Denver, our lockers were next to each other. I don't remember who at the time had signed an extension, but I'm like, "Yours is going to be crazy!" He was like, 'You know, Cuz, I honestly think I might retire before this contract.'" Cousins was stunned by Jokic's willingness to walk away from a $300 million payday. "I said, 'Man, you out your motherf***ing mind,'" he continued. "I said, 'Sign the contract and just get fat at worst.' Don't pass up on the $300 million. You can't do that." He recalled Jokic saying he just wanted to relax in the Serbian countryside with his horses. Cousins tried to convince him by joking that he could buy more horses with the money. Jokic's disinterest in playing basketball was also noted when the four-time All-Star emphasized that Jokic did not care much about playing in the NBA. He claimed: "If you ever get a chance to just hold a conversation with him, and he tells you a little bit about himself, he really doesn't give a f**k about this s**t. He doesn't care. At all. This is like his second or third favorite thing to do. Maybe third or fourth. Most games, when he's dropping these crazy stats, he probably doesn't want to be there. And that's the scary part about all of it." If Cousins' statement is to be believed, something plenty of evidence supports, Jokic may be the most naturally gifted player the NBA has ever seen. Even disengaged, the Nuggets superstar remains one of the best players in the league. As a perennial MVP candidate, the Serbian big man consistently delivers unreal numbers to help his team secure victories. In the 2024-25 season, Jokic put up an average of 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.8 assists, while shooting 57.6% from the field and 41.7% from three-point range. Absurd numbers for someone who treats basketball like a hobby. Jokic's love for his horses and being home in Serbia is endearing to fans, but it raises several concerns for the Nuggets organization. Having declined their recent extension offer, possibly for a significantly more lucrative deal next season, the big man could very genuinely leave the team at some point. While ownership is already uneasy about Jokic's future in Denver, the bigger question is whether he'll stay in the NBA at all. To keep him invested, the Nuggets have been active in building a stronger roster this offseason, effectively seeing them emerge as contenders. The prospects for the upcoming season may be positive, but the superstar will currently focus on representing his home country at the upcoming EuroBasket story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

How to watch WWE Summerslam 2025: Live stream and match card for night two
WWE Summerslam night one is in the books and now attention shifts to night two as the John Cena retirement tour continues. On what will be his final Summerslam appearance, Cena faces the person he dethroned at WrestleMania 41 to become a record-breaking 17-time WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. Only this time the stakes have been raised as Cena puts the Undisputed WWE championship on the line in a street fight. This means the pair can battle inside and out of the MetLife Stadium because this match has no disqualifications, falls count anywhere and weapons are legal. There's an argument to be made that Rhodes, to date, poses the biggest threat to Cena's title reign but the 'American Nightmare' will no doubt have to pull out all the stops to avenge his loss from less than four months ago. In addition, there are five other championship matches to whet the appetite tonight. All of which have the potential to steal the show - and quite possibly the entire weekend. The WWE United States title will be defended in a steel cage as new champion Solo Sikoa faces Jacob Fatu in a rematch from WWE Night of Champions. The odds are not in Naomi's favour as she defends her newly won Women's world championship in a triple threat match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. It's the last chance saloon for Lyra Valkyria because if she fails to beat Becky Lynch for the WWE Women's Intercontinental championship in a no DQ and no count-out match, she can never challenge for the title as long as Lynch is champion. Elsewhere on the card, The Wyatt Sicks defend the WWE tag team championships in a six-pack tables, ladders, and chairs (TLC) match, while AJ Styles looks to capture the WWE Intercontinental championship from Dominik Mysterio. Another huge night of wrestling awaits and here's everything you need to know about where to watch Summerslam night two unfold... How to watch WWE Summerslam 2025 night two Live stream: In the UK, night two of WWE Summerslam 2025 can be watched and streamed live on Netflix. Coverage starts at 11pm BST tonight, Sunday, August 3, 2025. A membership costs £4.99 a month and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.
