Walmart's 'Adorably Spooky' Halloween Sets Are Literally Flying Off Shelves Thanks to Moms
Walmart's 'Adorably Spooky' Halloween Sets Are Literally Flying Off Shelves Thanks to Moms originally appeared on Parade. Walmart is helping moms kick off the spooky season early. We may be in the thick of the summer heat, but the retailer launched Glow in the Dark pajama sets that are flying off the shelves. No, literally, I had to go to several Walmart locations to snag the Ghostbusters set for my kiddo—and even then, there were only a few sizes left. The hope, however, is that Walmart will see how popular the jammies are among mothers who are willing to pay whatever price—in this case $10.98—to keep their little ones happy and be compelled to restock them ASAP. The character 2-piece sets range from 12 months to 5T sizes. In addition to Ghostbusters (slime green with Ecto-1, Stay Puft and other prints on it), you can choose from Halloween-inspired Care Bear, Bluey, Mickey Mouse, Monsters Inc., The Nightmare Before Christmas, Casper, and ScoobyDoo designs. Parents on social media were all about it, as the Walmart Gems noted, "IT'S HAPPENING! 👻 It may be super early, but these new toddler Halloween pajama sets are absolutely adorable! 🥰" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Walmart Gems (@walmartgems) Another account, That Mommy, shared a video from the in-store display, writing, "✨Cutest Halloween Pajamas Have Entered the Chat! 🎃🧸." "Walmart just dropped the sweetest spooky PJs for toddlers and I'm OBSESSED. Some even glow in the dark — how cute is that for trick-or-treat season!? 🪄💫," the post continued, adding that they are "Perfect for movie nights, pumpkin patches, and bedtime snuggles. Sizes are already flying off the racks!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by THAT MOMMY| Shopping Finds| THAT GIRL (@thatmommy_) "These are all so adorably spooky 🧡," someone commented, as another added, "Absolute cutest 🎃." The fabric is super soft to the touch and will be perfect for when the weather cools down in the fall, though a handful of comments warned that they do shrink in the wash, so read the instructions carefully and proceed with caution. Most simply expressed disappointment that the sizes didn't go higher, as another stated, "I honestly would love adult size lol 😂😂." While shoppers reported many styles may be out of stock, you can still haunt them down for shipping online right here! 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Walmart's 'Adorably Spooky' Halloween Sets Are Literally Flying Off Shelves Thanks to Moms first appeared on Parade on Jul 16, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 16, 2025, where it first appeared.

Video shows how pit bulls got out of house before Halloween attack in Tarentum last year
A Tarentum man is facing several charges after a dog attack left three injured, including himself, last Halloween. Tarentum police arrested 34-year-old Shawn Flynn on charges including aggravated assault, criminal trespass, and recklessly endangering another person for the incident that took place about five minutes before trick-or-treating was set to begin. Eight months later, Michael Shutack now has scars from his arms to his face and legs. They're painful memories from when pit bulls brutally mauled him on Oct. 31, 2024, leaving him out of work for two months. "Not knowing what's going on, I walked into an ambush, and they took me down," Shutack said. Surveillance video obtained by KDKA reveals how the dogs got loose in the neighborhood by East Seventh and Ormond Street. In the video, Flynn is seen in a hoodie, opening the door to the owners' home and running away. Seconds later, three pit bulls escape outside. "Who knows who else would have been attacked, and in a way, I'm kind of glad it was me and not a kid," Shutack said. That's initially how Shutack got caught in the crosshairs. He heard a noise, saw the dogs heading towards some kids and got them out of harm's way. "I picked him up and tossed him over the fence down at the end there, and I asked him, 'What's going on?' And he was too scared to talk," Shutack said. Before Shutack knew it, the dogs went after him. Flynn even tried to help, using a rug to distract the dogs, but got attacked himself. Another neighbor threw an old PlayStation console at the animals. Shutack eventually learned that the dogs had injured a woman in the area. "Whatever reason he had for doing it, there's no excuse," Shutack said. The dogs' owners weren't home at the time, but neighbors told KDKA they were evicted right after the incident, and court records show charges against them were recently dismissed. A spokesperson with the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office told KDKA that dismissal was due to the new video evidence received by police. The criminal complaint also said Flynn only admitted to letting the dogs out after officers showed him the video. In an interview with investigators, he told them the landlord told his friend, "he would pay money for them to let the dogs out of the house" in an effort to evict the owners. Flynn said he never received that money. "He has to answer, take his lumps for what he did," Shutack said. As for Flynn, his mom told KDKA her son had never been in trouble until now. Flynn remains out of jail on non-monetary bail and will be back in court on July 30. It's unclear whether the landlord will face any charges.

Arch Manning Heisman Trophy Betting Odds: Can UT Star Live Up To The Hype?
As of mid-July, Texas QB Arch Manning is the betting favorite to win the 2025 Heisman Trophy. As of mid-July, Texas QB Arch Manning is the betting favorite to win the 2025 Heisman Trophy. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The first full Saturday of the 2025 college football season is still 45 days away, but it's not too early to talk about the 2025 Heisman Trophy odds. We're starting our series on how to bet on the 2025 Heisman Trophy race with an in-depth look at the case for and against early betting favorite Arch Manning. Keep an eye on Newsweek Sports Betting in the weeks ahead for similar pieces on each of the 2025 Heisman favorites as we wrap up July and head into August. 2025 Heisman Trophy Betting Odds Below are the odds as of July 16 to win this year's Heisman Trophy at DraftKings, FanDuel and bet365. The 12 contenders below all boast 30-to-1 odds across the board. DK FD bet365 Arch Manning (QB, Texas) +650 +700 +600 Garrett Nussmeier (QB, LSU) +850 +800 +850 Cade Klubnik (QB, Clemson) +950 +900 +1000 Jeremiah Smith (WR, OSU) +1100 +1300 +1000 Drew Allar (QB, PSU) +1600 +1400 +1400 LaNorris Sellers (QB, South Carolina) +1600 +1900 +1800 Julian Sayin (QB, OSU) +1600 +1500 +1500 DJ Lagway (QB, Florida) +1800 +1900 +2000 Dante Moore (QB, Oregon) +2200 +2600 +2000 John Mateer (QB, Oklahoma) +2500 +1900 +2500 Sam Leavitt (QB, Arizona State) +2800 +1900 +3000 Carson Beck (QB, Miami) +3000 +2800 +2500 Before we go any further, let's note that this time last year, oddsmakers saw Oregon's Dillon Gabriel and Georgia's Carson Beck as the co-favorites, followed by Quinn Ewers, Jalen Milroe and Jaxson Dart. Of those five, only Gabriel ended up getting invited to New York as a finalist -- and he finished a distant third behind winner Travis Hunter and runner-up Ashton Jeanty. Beck, Ewers, Milroe and Dart all failed to crack the top 10 in the 2024 Heisman Trophy vote. Trendy 2024 preseason Heisman darkhorse candidates Nico Iamaleava and Will Howard also ended up being non-factors, as eventual winner Hunter emerged as one of the favorites before Halloween. Arch Manning Opens As Heisman Trophy Favorite We're starting our summer Heisman preview series with the biggest name in college football right now. We're referring, of course, to the No. 1 high school recruit in the class of 2023: Texas QB Arch Manning. Peyton and Eli's famous nephew has been in the spotlight since years before he committed to coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns back in June of 2022. For one quick example of what we mean we call Manning "the biggest name in college football," check out the crowd he drew at SEC Media Days in Atlanta earlier this week. The Arch Manning hype train is in full gear. Caught up with him earlier - he is a remarkably grounded young man. The CFB world won't let him breathe for a minute but he is callused and ready for it. — Ian Fitzsimmons (@Ianfitzespn) July 15, 2025 Given that the hype around Manning dates all the way back to his middle school days, it's no suprise that he's getting early Heisman love. Arch Manning Heisman Trophy Betting Analysis Let's start with biggest, most obvious question regarding Manning: Should a player with 95 career passes and two starts to his name really be the favorite ahead of the likes of Garrett Nussmeier, Cade Klubnik and Drew Allar? Each of those three have attempted at least 700 passes in their career. It's hard to overstate the importance of experience at Manning's position. With that in mind, see below for a breakdown of how experienced the most recent recipients of this award were entering their Heisman-winning campaigns. Spoiler: no, extensive prior experience is not a necessity, per se. How Will Arch Manning Fare Against Texas's Schedule? The (in)experience issue is just one of a few burning questions regarding Manning's potential to win the top individual award in college sports. The first pressing question for Manning and the Horns has to do with the difficulty of their 2025 schedule, which is the fourth-hardest in the country, according to ESPN's FPI. They hardly had it "easy" in their first year in the SEC, as they finished with the sixth-best strength of schedule, per ESPN's FPI. Avoiding Tennessee, Ole Miss and Alabama -- and getting Georgia in Austin in the regular season -- certainly helped, though. With Week 2 foe Michigan stumbling throughout a disappointing national title defense, the toughest road game of 2024 for the Horns ended up being their regular-season finale vs. Texas A&M, which finished 8-5 (5-3 SEC). Texas opens this season in Columbus against reigning champ Ohio State, and it also has to visit Florida (Oct. 4) and Georgia (Nov. 15). Something tells me that at least one of those teams -- all of whom currently have among the 15 shortest national title odds in the country, per DraftKings -- will finish the season in the top 25. Remarkably, none of UT's road foes finished in the final AP poll of 2024. This year, the trips to Columbus, Gainesville and Athens alone could be enough to make it tough for Manning to meet his sky-high expectations. He will, however, have some prime opportunities to put up huge numbers. After the OSU game in Week 1, he gets a three-game home stretch from Sept. 6-20 against San Jose State, UTEP and Sam Houston. The other good news for Manning and Co. is that three of their last four regular-season games will take place at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin: Nov. 1 vs. Vanderbilt, Nov. 22 vs. Arkansas and Nov. 28 vs. Texas A&M. Can Arch Manning Do A Better Job Avoiding Sacks? Manning's passing numbers a year ago (61-for-90 for 939 yards, with 9 TDs and 2 interceptions) didn't leave much to be desired. He still needs to prove he can effectively navigate the pocket, though, especially against elite defenses. In the four midseason appearances in 2024 that accounted for both of his starts and the bulk of his meaningful reps, Manning was sacked a total of six times in 84 dropbacks vs. UTSA, UL-Monroe*, Mississippi State* and Georgia, including at least once in each of those contests. That includes two sacks in just eight dropbacks in his appearance vs. UGA, who also limited him to -1 rushing yard on 4 attempts. There's a ton of room for improvement on this front after Manning was sacked on over 7 percent of his dropbacks last year. His issues avoiding the pass rush came despite playing behind an offensive line that featured a top-10 pick at left tackle (Kelvin Banks Jr.) and sixth-round picks at guard (Hayden Conner) and right tackle (Cameron Williams). *Manning got his two career starts to date in the ULM and MSU games as Quinn Ewers was sidelined with an injury. Can An Inexperienced QB Win The Heisman Trophy? Before we dive into the recent Heisman-winning QBs' varying degrees of experience, it's worth noting that Texas is replacing not only Banks Jr., Conner and Williams up front, but also leading receiver Matthew Golden, tight end Gunnar Helm and running back Jaydon Blue. The latter three were all taken in the the first five rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Longhorns have recently proven their ability to reload. Case in point: from 2023 to 2024, they lost a slew of talent (two Texas wide receivers, a running back and a tight end were taken in the first four rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft), but still averaged 34.5 points per game last year. But the history of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks over the last decade makes me skeptical of Manning. Bryce Young won the award in 2021 in his second year in Tuscaloosa and first as Bama's starter. But of the last seven quarterbacks who won the Heisman Trophy, below is a rundown of each one's career pass attempts (PA) entering their Heisman-winning campaign. Suffice it to say, Young looks like the exception to the rule over the last decade: Heisman-Winning QB Class Career PA Entering Heisman Season Jayden Daniels, LSU (2023) Sr. 1,111 Caleb Williams, USC (2022) So. 211 Bryce Young, Alabama (2021) So. 22 Joe Burrow, LSU (2019) Sr. 418 Kyler Murray, Oklahoma (2018) Jr. 142 Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma (2017) Sr. 307 Lamar Jackson, Louisville (2016) So. 247 The table above shows that it's not necessary to have as much experience as Daniels did entering the 2023 season for LSU or even as many reps as Burrow (2019) and Mayfield (2017) had entering their senior seasons. Still, the data above backs up anyone under the assumption that Manning's lack of experience doesn't bode well for his 2025 Heisman chances. Young is not, however, the only inexperienced QB to win this award in the last 15 years, as Jameis Winston (2013) and Johnny Manziel (2012) also won the Heisman as redshirt freshmen. Buy Or Sell: Arch Manning To Win 2025 Heisman Best available: +700 at FanDuel as of July 16, 2025 Sell Given all the questions around Manning in his first season running the Texans offense, a bet on him at 7-to-1 to win the Heisman doesn't make much sense right now. For the record, my current skepticism of Manning has more to do with how rarely betting on preseason Heisman favorites works out than any doubts I have about the current betting favorite to go No. 1 in the 2026 NFL Draft. FWIW, Manning is currently the favorite at +225 at DraftKings in that market, just ahead of Drew Allar at +275.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs Dresses as King in Resurfaced Pics as Jury Finds Him Not Guilty on Three Charges
Disgraced music producer Sean 'Diddy' Combs is seen dressed up as a king, draped in a cape and wearing an over-the-top red and gold crown in resurfaced photos taken at a 2002 Halloween party, exclusively obtained by the National ENQUIRER. Combs, 55, was surrounded by several women – two of which were sporting black corset-like tops and collars – as he wore a glittering red and gold outfit in the images. Other snapshots revealed Combs pouring drinks, posing with guests and mingling with the other attendees at the Capitale Nightclub in New York City. He was 32 years old at the time that the photos were taken. The resurfaced snapshots come after Combs received a mixed verdict from a 12-person jury for his high-profile trial on Wednesday, July 2. While he was acquitted of his sex trafficking and racketeering charges, he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Each count comes with a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, meaning that Combs still faces up to 20 years behind bars. Following the verdict, Combs' pal Charlie Lucci told reporters outside of the court house that the jurors 'got it right,' according to NBC News. 'It restores faith back into the justice system,' he said. 'I cried. I cried because that's my brother up there [on trial].' The outlet also reported that Combs' mother, Janice Combs, admitted she was also relieved by the court's decision. 'Yes, I was happy,' she said. 'Wouldn't you be happy?' Among the 34 witnesses who testified against Combs was his ex-girlfriend Cassandra 'Cassie' Ventura – who accused the Grammy winner of physical abuse, coercion and more in the bombshell trial. On July 2, her lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor said they were 'pleased' that Combs still faces 'substantial jail time,' despite not being convicted on all counts. 'Of course, we would have liked to have seen a conviction on the sex crimes and RICO,' he said at the time, per NBC News. 'But we understand that 'beyond a reasonable doubt' is a high standard.' ' Since his September 2024 arrest, the hip hop artist has been incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. The judge is expected to make a decision very soon on whether Combs will remain in jail ahead of his sentencing hearing, or if he will be released on a $1 million bond to his Miami home as suggested by his attorney Marc Agnifilo.
