Legendary competitive eater hungry to reclaim hot dog crown
Joey Chestnut, a 16-time champion and world record holder for eating 76 hot dogs, is set to return to the men's competition after missing last year due to a sponsorship deal with a rival company, Impossible Foods.
Patrick Bertoletti, who secured the men's title in Chestnut's absence last year, expressed anticipation for the competition, while Miki Sudo aims to defend her dominant position in the women's division.
This year's contest will notably feature a mother and daughter, Katie and Isabeau Prettyman, competing against each other, with 18-year-old Isabeau being the youngest ever participant.
Competitors are given 10 minutes to consume as many hot dogs and buns as possible, with no condiments permitted, and the event will be broadcast on ESPN channels for those unable to attend in person.

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump ‘are wedding bells serious' as smitten couple's relationship takes major step forward
TIGER WOODS and Vanessa Trump are reportedly almost ready to take the next step in their relationship. It was first revealed in March that the legendary golfer, 49, was dating Trump, 47. 3 3 They had originally hoped to keep the relationship under wraps. Amid rampant speculation, Woods eventually confirmed they were dating weeks later. But now their romance is heating up fast. So fast, that according to Page Six, they may even be considering marriage in the not too distant future. A source told the outlet: "They're very serious. "Wedding bells serious." The source added: "She's so happy! "She's finally found happiness. "She's found happiness for the first time in her life." Two-time PGA Tour winner Brian Henninger exclusively told SunSport how their blossoming romance had surprised him. I played golf with Tiger Woods but he was a ghost behind the scenes - his romance with Vanessa Trump surprised me He said: 'Tiger Woods is not a person you're going to go and hang out with. 'He's not eating with you in the lunchroom. He's pleasant though. He'd say 'Hi Brian'. He knows a little bit about everybody, he does his research. 'I'll never forget the first time I met him. We were at the Western Open, we're in this fitness trailer, they were stretching us or something. 'He goes 'hey, I saw your Trojans got beat by Stanford the other night'. I mean, I've never met him. So I think he's one of those prepared guys in any situation. 'Behind the scenes, he was a ghost to most of us. We didn't really know about his life off the course. We know what the media shared with us, but I didn't really know that lifestyle. 'He was a natural show off. He had so much popularity and it's incredible. 'I didn't get to travel and own mansions, private jets and have Michael Jordan as my best friend…even though I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that stuff. 'But he didn't show signs on the golf course of being affected by any of it. 'Scottie Scheffler is coming along doing similar things. I don't know all the matrix behind it, but they are very close in terms of how many times they've won at a certain age and all the accomplishments. 'They can just turn it on and off. I mean, they get to the golf course and they're like different human beings." 3

Deshaun Watson announces major life update with girlfriend Jilly Anais on social media
Controversial NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson has announced his marriage to longtime girlfriend Jilly Anais on Instagram, with a pair of photos shared through their accounts. The Cleveland Browns star and Anais tied the knot on Thursday, which also marked their sixth anniversary of dating, having started a relationship in 2019. What teammates attended his wedding are unclear, as Watson has had a rocky stay in Cleveland. Watson's $230million guaranteed contract has not paid dividends for the Browns, who have not won a playoff game since before he came to Cleveland. The 29-year-old Watson was seen as a future star in the league several years ago with the Houston Texans, with his career being detailed after being accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women. Those accusers' claims led to Watson being suspended for 11 games during the 2022 NFL season. The brief glimpse into Watson's wedding day however showed him wearing a white dress shirt with gold lettering stitched into his cuff that read '07.03.25'. The lettering matches his glitzy gold watch with Watson also wearing a jewelry-encrusted wedding band. Anais is seen wearing a huge wedding ring, doubled up with her wedding band, as her nails are painted pink and white. Anais dress appears to be the traditional white, while Watson also looks to be in a shade of white, with matching pants and shoes. Other details of the joyous day for Watson and Anais are private as of Friday, with the quarterback having the day away from any drama with the Browns. The team also has veteran Joe Flacco, journeyman backup Kenny Pickett, and rookie's Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. Sanders himself has come under fire, as he is amid a speeding scandal, with two egregious violations behind the wheel. ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi believes that Sanders' roster spot isn't 'guaranteed' and projects he'll have to improve to move up the depth chart. Watson is expected to miss all of the 2025 season with an Achilles injury, which could make a path to a roster spot easier for Sanders, as the team will likely carry three quarterbacks, and possibly one more on its practice squad.

Meghan Markle posts loved-up snap alongside Prince Harry as she gushes over their kids on Fourth of July
Meghan Markle has posted a loved-up snap alongside husband Prince Harry as she gushed over their kids on Fourth of July. The 43-year-old appeared to have a very active day on social media during Independence Day, posting across both her personal and As Ever Instagram accounts. The Duchess of Sussex began by flaunting her sold-out raspberry spread in a promotional video that has since been branded by viewers as 'embarrassing.' But she has now shared a more personal touch in her latest family-orientated upload. The carousel of images showcased a platter of handmade cupcakes, a close-up of one of the tasty treats and a third image of Meghan cozying up to Harry. The mom-of-two, in reference to their kids Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana, wrote in the caption: 'Our second date was the 4th of July 2016 and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. 'Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition.' She added: 'Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes.' Earlier in the day, also in honor of the July 4 holiday, Meghan posted a clip to her As Ever Instagram page showcasing a charcuterie board she had put together - but it has not gone down well with viewers. In the video, Meghan introduced her board as 'easy entertaining,' and decorated a wooden platter with various fruits, cheeses, and crackers, as well as her sold-out, $14 As Ever raspberry spread. She looked summer-chic in an oversized, blue-and-white striped button down as she filmed from what appeared to be her own kitchen in Montecito, California. While she assembled the board, the Duchess, 43, carefully started off by arranging fruits like raspberries and cherries, then added some star-shaped cheese and blueberries, along with some crackers and slices of sourdough bread. To finish things off, she took a brand-new container of her raspberry spread, which went on sale as part of the first As Ever drop in April, and scooped it into a small dish. However, the spread sold out within a half hour of it going on sale, leaving many fans dying to get their hands on it. As she put the spread onto the board, she accidentally dropped a raspberry into it, laughing as she popped it into her mouth. 'Happy 4th of July!' the caption of the video read. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently took their two kids to Disneyland Earlier in the day, also in honor of the July 4 holiday, Meghan posted a clip to her As Ever Instagram page showcasing a charcuterie board she had put together - but it has not gone down well with viewers Meghan also posted a similar clip to her personal Instagram page just minutes later, @meghan, where she showed followers an aerial view of her assembling the festive platter. On Reddit, some royal fans slammed the video as 'basic,' as one person even compared her creation to an outdated post on Pinterest. 'I love a board, especially a themed one, but bless her heart for thinking this is new and/or unique. Also, the faux calligraphy and the unnecessary flowers are eyeroll inducing,' one person wrote. Another agreed, 'Cough! Let's go copy something from Pinterest, and hey make sure you get the jewelry into the shot... oh! yeah, got to show off the stupid handwriting.' 'I think it looks good if my regular friend/neighbor did it. They're not trying to sell an elevated lifestyle brand.... it's embarrassing,' someone else typed.
