Jim Carrey shaves another $1M off his longtime LA home after a deal fell through
Jim Carrey is once again trimming the price of his Los Angeles estate, shaving off another $1 million and relisting the property for $18.75 million — after a prior deal collapsed. The actor first put the Brentwood compound on the market in early 2023 for nearly $29 million, as The Post reported at the time. Since then, it has undergone several price reductions before entering contract late last year. That transaction ultimately fell through, and the property returned to market in February, according to Mansion Global. 4 Jim Carrey has reduced the price of his longtime Los Angeles estate to $18.75 million, cutting another $1 million after a deal fell through.

Larson of Sotheby's International Realty, declined to comment.

22 years after the release of Bruce Almighty, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now officially Jim Carrey's highest-grossing movie
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now Jim Carrey's highest-grossing movie of all time, overtaking previous record holder Bruce Almighty. The latest Sonic movie has a current total of $485.7 million at the global box office, while Bruce Almighty made $484.4 million when it was released back in 2003. Carrey plays a dual role in the movie as Dr. Ivo Robotnik (AKA Eggman) and his grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik. Keanu Reeves joins the franchise to voice Shadow the Hedgehog, alongside a voice cast that also includes Ben Schwartz as Sonic, Idris Elba as Knuckles, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails. Bruce Almighty, meanwhile, saw Carrey play a TV reporter who gets the chance to try being God for a week. Directed by Ace Ventura: Pet Detective helmer Tom Shadyac, the cast also includes Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston, and Steve Carrell. Sonic 4 has been in development since December 2024 and is set for release in March 2027. Robotnik's fate was a little up in the air at the end of the threequel so Carrey's return isn't set in stone for any future movies, but that doesn't mean a potential return isn't on the cards. "We hope that they make a zillion of these and who knows, by Sonic The Hedgehog 8… like with the Fast & Furious franchise, that's demonstrated that nobody really needs to stay dead if you don't want to," screenwriter Josh Miller told GamesRadar+ last year. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now streaming on Paramount Plus in the US and Canada.

Why do NFL quarterbacks say Blue 42? The answer is almost as old as football itself
Quarterback Tyler Bray faced a steep learning curve when he joined the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. An undrafted free agent, he had to memorize a thick playbook, master the verbiage of a new offense and acclimate to the speed of the pros. He also had to find a 'cadence' — the combination of color and number that quarterbacks bark before the snap of the ball, like Blue 42 or Red 80. Bray had run a no-huddle offense at the University of Tennessee, which meant the snap was based on a physical cue like clapping hands or a leg kick. And while he hadn't used a verbal cadence much before, it didn't seem like a big deal. Advertisement But when he tried out White 80 in practice, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told him to knock it off. 'You hold your 'white' too long,' Reid told Bray. 'Choose a different color.' Bray tried green, but that didn't feel right, either. 'And so for the rest of my career,' Bray says, 'it was always Blue 80.' In the modern NFL, where microphones blanket the field, there are few things more audible than the quarterback cadence. Before every play, Patrick Mahomes growls Blue 80 (or sometimes White 80). Tom Brady hollered Green 18. Brett Favre yelled Blue 58. So did Aaron Rodgers, when he wasn't saying Green 19. Hollywood followed suit. In 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,' Jim Carrey went with Blue 42. Sometimes the color-number combo means something. Sometimes it's nothing more than a rhythmic way to initiate a play. 'This is something that quarterbacks never want to give up,' former NFL QB Matt Hasselbeck says. 'Because the mystery of it is really important.' There is, however, one constant: Most NFL quarterbacks have no clue where or why or how it began. 'I don't know who started it, at all,' Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith said. 'I hope you didn't expect me to know that,' the Giants' Drew Lock said, laughing. 'It's just been like that forever, honestly,' Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold said. 'I don't know why.' There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for why color-number cadences exist, though, and the story spans the evolution of football. In the fall of 1890, 3,000 people gathered at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis to watch the University of Missouri play Washington University of St. Louis. It was the first football game in Mizzou history, and according to the Columbia Missourian, the afternoon was marked by a clear and cold forecast, the clanking of cowbells, the tooting of tin horns and locals who arrived at the game via farm carts, phaetons and surreys. Advertisement On the first series, the quarterback from Washington University began yelling a series of numbers — '31, 49, 87, 12' — to communicate plays. Mizzou's team froze and looked to the referee. The game stopped. The officials conferred. Was yelling numbers like that even legal? Turns out, it was, but it was such a new part of the sport that Missouri's players could be forgiven for their ignorance. Just eight years earlier, in 1882, a group of players from Yale's football team met at the duplex of Walter Camp to talk strategy. At the time football was a chaotic, random mess, more rugby than modern football, a mad scrum in a cloud of dust. But in 1882, Camp proposed the five-yard rule, which required teams to gain five yards in three downs to retain possession. With the addition of the five-yard rule came lines on the field, giving shape and form to the sport. Camp and Yale's players believed the new rule would make coordination and strategy essential, so they met at Camp's duplex to talk about it. That day, Camp, often called the Father of American Football, wrote down five signals — believed to be the first ever recorded. Each signal consisted of a phrase. One signal, 'Play up sharp, Charlie,' meant that Yale quarterback Henry Twombly would receive the snap and toss the ball to an end for a sideline run. 'Camp had to make up plays and make up signals,' Twombly later said. 'He was in an entirely new field. There were no T formations, single or double wings. There was no coach and no football player that knew anything about this new, mysterious game.' In 1889, Amos Alonzo Stagg, a player for Camp at Yale and later a legendary coach himself, claimed Yale switched to numerical signals for the first time in football history (There is some dispute about that. Historian Alexander Weyand credited the Pennsylvania Military College with creating a numerical signal system in 1887 using the cadets' serial numbers to indicate who would receive the ball). Either way, by the 1890s signals had turned numerical, and it was common for quarterbacks to initiate a play by barking out numbers. Advertisement As defenses started to catch up, however, the signal system became more complicated. Coaches designated their halfbacks and holes along the line by number, offering a code for running plays. And with the invention of the huddle, teams started to rely on 'automatics' – or audibles – to change plays at the line of scrimmage. Strategy begat mathematics: a quarterback might call play 28 in the huddle, then change it by shouting 'add three' or 'subtract seven' at the line. 'Football threatened to become an advanced course in mental arithmetic,' Stagg later said. Then came along a young coach with a law degree and a new way of thinking. Terry Brennan was an unlikely coaching visionary. An All-American halfback at Notre Dame in the late 1940s, Brennan majored in philosophy before earning a law degree at DePaul. When he succeeded legendary coach Frank Leahy at Notre Dame in 1954, his only head coaching experience had come at a Chicago high school. He was just 25 years old. At one point in the 1950s, Brennan attended a coaching clinic led by Oklahoma's coach Bud Wilkinson, who had turned the Sooners into a powerhouse. Wilkinson's famous Split T offense relied on the numerical signal system, and while Brennan admired Wilkinson and his success, he thought there could be a better way. 'You can teach any system of football and follow it to the letter,' he once said, 'but I don't believe in following it out the window.' Brennan believed games were lost by error, so he wanted to simplify the game as much as possible. He worried addition and subtraction distracted linemen and created avenues for mistakes. To solve the problem, Brennan came up with what he called the 'live color' system. Each play in Notre Dame's huddle was preceded by a color. If the quarterback said Red 28 in the huddle, it meant 'red' was the live color. If he shouted any color other than red at the line, it was a dummy call. But if he yelled Red 17, his teammates knew the play had been changed from 28 to 17. Advertisement The color-number system spread like fire, and while it's hard to say definitively that Brennan was the inventor, he was at minimum one of the early pioneers. It spread fast across college football and trickled up to the professional ranks, too. When Paul Brown coached the Cincinnati Bengals, the team always used the same live color: brown. When Hasselbeck's father Don played tight end for the New York Giants, Bill Parcells preferred black. In a relatively short amount of time, quarterbacks shouting a color-number combo at the line was the norm. Decades later, the color-number cadence still has meaning, but not in the way Terry Brennan intended. When Matt Hasselbeck became the Green Bay Packers' backup in the late '90s, the coaching staff assigned him a cadence: Whatever Brett Favre said. It wasn't just the words — in this case, Favre's trademark Green 58, which Favre said he chose because he liked the flow of it — but also the rhythm and sound. If Hasselback played, the coaches told him, the other players needed his cadence to be consistent. Hasselbeck listened to Favre and tried to replicate him, but one day Packers quarterbacks coach Mike McCarthy walked over. 'He's like: 'You need to go home and literally practice with a teammate or practice in the mirror,' Hasselbeck recalled, which is exactly what he did. These days, the cadence can be used to sync up pre-snap motion, confuse defenses with a dummy call or signal another subtle change. But like filler lyrics in a pop song, the cadence is usually less substance and more melody. Consider Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who eschewed Blue 42 for something simpler but still rhythmic: 'Here we go!' Or former Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs, who prepped for emergency action in 2023 with a quick warmup: He practiced his cadence on the sideline with his new team's offensive line. The biggest key these days is consistency. Advertisement 'You're trying to give your offensive line the best jump you can get on a defensive line,' Bray says. 'If you have the same rhythm in your cadence every time, the O-line gets used to you and they're able to jump your count.' As NFL offenses have become more reliant on motion, the rhythm has become the thing. The words or color may not matter, but the pre-snap motion must time up exactly with the syllables, so the cadence still does. It's why former NFL QB coach Rich Scangarello once gave a quarterback a recording of every play in the playbook, so he'd know how to say each one at the precise time needed. It's why Lock, like Hasselbeck, once rehearsed in front of a mirror. And it's why Hasselbeck, nearly a decade into retirement, can still recite exactly how he uttered his cadence. Quarterbacks may not understand the long history behind why they're barking a color and number incessantly. But the act has become a calling card and catch phrase and, with less emphasis on cadences in college, a rite of passage in the pros.

Ashley St. Clair Says Elon Musk Messaged Her That They Have a 'Legion of Kids to Make' Months After Reported Son's Birth
Ashley St. Clair — who says Elon Musk is the father of her infant son, and has seen the baby only three times since his September 2024 birth — is alleging that the Tesla CEO told her they had a "legion of kids to make," according to a new legal filing. The 26-year-old author filed for sole legal custody of the son she says she shares with Musk on Friday, Feb. 21, and she has also filed a paternity petition — in which she included and referenced what she claimed were messages exchanged between herself and Musk, 53. In the correspondence, Musk reportedly "acknowledged a sexual relationship" between the pair multiple times following the birth of the infant, who she refers to in the documents as R.S.C. As St. Clair alleged in the filing, she and Musk began a "romantic relationship in or about May 2023" and later conceived the child in January 2024. During one exchange, which she claimed took place "on or about" Feb. 2, 2025, St. Clair apparently told Musk that she "would appreciate being able to speak to you in person" and mentioned "a major rift in our relationship that I truly wish was better for the sake of our son." After Musk allegedly responded to the message with "Hmm ok," St. Clair sent him a moving image of Jim Carrey reciting his titular character's "alrighty then" catchphrase in 1992's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. "Well, we do have a legion of kids to make," Musk allegedly then sent in response. Elsewhere in the filing, St. Clair included images of Musk allegedly responding to a selfie three months earlier — "on or about" Nov. 24, 2024 — with "Hi cutie." After she told him she'd "see u soon," Musk allegedly wrote, "I want to knock you up again." Related: Ashley St. Clair Sues Elon Musk for Sole Legal Custody of Their Son (Exclusive) According to the separate custody petition, the "last time" Musk visited R.S.C. was on Nov. 30, around four days after the "knock you up again" message. The visit lasted 30 minutes, the conservative influencer alleged, and it took place over two months after Musk's other two visits with the child on Sept. 21 and 22, per the filing. St. Clair also alleged in the legal documents that Musk was not present for the birth of the boy — who she says she welcomed in September 2024 — and the CEO "has had no involvement in his care and upbringing." 'Ashley St. Clair has filed paternity and custody petitions to protect the best interests of her child," St. Clair's representative Brian Glickich told PEOPLE in a statement on Feb. 21. "She has made every effort to collaborate with Mr. Musk before taking this step. She has no further comment on the contents of the petitions, which speak for themselves.' St. Clair has since asked the court to "issue a summons, warrant or order requiring the Respondent to show cause why the Court should not enter a declaration of paternity, an order of support and such other and further relief as may be appropriate under the circumstances." Representatives and attorneys for Musk have not responded to PEOPLE's requests for comment.

The law firm has offices in Manhattan and Westchester, New York. However, his representatives have been nonresponsive in the past to resolve the outstanding issues and Respondent has indicated that he no longer wishes to resolve issues of custody and support amicably." Musk is the father of 13 children (counting St. Clair's infant child) with four different women. St. Clair first announced the birth of R.S.C. via X on Feb. 14, stating that he was born months earlier as she called Musk his "father." Read the original article on People
