Here's my bad-ass wife Heidi—water skiing with the majestic canyons behind her. ❤️❤️❤️ — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) August 12, 2025 Lake Powell's Water Level Warnings Last month, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) issued a warning that by December 2026, Lake Powell—a reservoir on the Colorado River in Arizona and Utah—could hit levels low enough to stop hydropower generation. The Glen Canyon Dam largely supplies power to people in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming and New Mexico. A USBR spokesperson previously told Newsweek: "Reclamation continues to closely monitor hydrologic conditions in the Colorado River. We are proactively working with our partners to ensure readiness if drought response actions are needed." They added: "Projections beyond the 2026 operating years for Lake Powell (water year) and Lake Mead (calendar year) assume a continuation of current guidelines, which are expected to change through ongoing development of post-2026 guidelines." What People Are Saying In the comments underneath Ted Cruz's social media video, people praised his wife's skills. X user @elchonan wrote: "Wow, she's good, and that is a perfect ski boat with a modest wake. Well done!" @krocknroll1 posted to X: "Very cool! She makes it look easy. Never a bad day on the lake!" Instagram user @marcy_l_boyd said: "Wow she's awesome - that was a long run!" @natalieerwinart added via Instagram: "Amazing Heidi!!!" Others took the chance to comment on Lake Powell's water levels. Instagram's @californiagoesred shared: "Still blows my mind that the water level is that low. Quite a difference from where it was when I was growing up." X's @theman7117 chimed in: "Awesome. Water levels are back up? It was touch and go there for a while. My favorite lake."

Travis Kelce Says His Relationship With Taylor Swift ‘Just Took the F*ck Off'
THE RUNDOWN: Travis Kelce is opening up about his relationship with Taylor Swift. In his September GQ cover story, which dropped today, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end spoke candidly about how they keep their romance grounded despite being in the spotlight. 'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people,' he said. 'When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but I would say that... it happened very organically, even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked. It still happened very organically.' He continued, 'Nothing I've ever done has been a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the fuck off.' Kelce also reflected on some of their public appearances, like the time they attended the US Open last September to watch the Men's Singles Final match between Taylor Fritz and Jannik Sinner. 'When you see me hanging out at the US Open with Taylor, it may look like the two of us are partying,' he said. 'But I'm just enjoying the fun of being at this really cool event that I always wanted to go to with the person that I love.' Speaking of sports, he also takes some credit for making her a football fanatic. 'I sort of made her a football fan,' he said. 'She is the most engulfed fan now. She knows what the injury reports look like. She understands what special situations are, third and short—all these things because she just naturally loves to hear about my job.' He even mentioned that Swift adopted one of his signature football moves: his first down gesture. When asked where the move originated, he couldn't recall exactly, but said, 'I know Tay picked it up, and she did it in New Orleans,' he said. And as for watching her perform, Kelce is more than happy to play the fan when she's onstage. 'I get to be the plus-one,' he said. 'I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan. I'm a fan of music. I'm a fan of art. And it's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus-one for me on the football field…. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows.' The couple also bond over the shared experience of performing in packed stadiums. 'I hadn't experienced somebody in the same shoes as me—having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions,' he said. 'That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows she would get after shows. She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I've seen what she goes through. I've seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it's mind-blowing.' Her tour prep only added to his admiration. 'To go out on a stage, on a computer, essentially, for three hours. The [Eras Tour] floor is literally—I've seen underneath that thing. It is a football-field-sized computer. You take that into Singapore, where it is scorching hot, and all of a sudden you're feeling the fumes from the computer and the sun, and you're doing a show for three hours with a lot of energy, bringing it every single song.' 'That is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday,' he continued. 'And she's doing it three, four, five days in a row.' Kelce couldn't help but continue to gush about her stage presence. 'People gravitate towards how she performs and how she makes it feel like the entire stadium is in this little room with her,' he said. 'She is so good at mesmerizing everybody and making everybody feel like it's an intimate situation. I think that alone—there is so much calm and coolness. She's beautiful. She's up there making everyone feel at ease.' Swift even inspired a shift in his own on-field energy. 'Whenever I get in front of a crowd, I feel like I've got to be like, Woooo! Like, excited, bringing the energy,' he said. 'Then I saw that coolness and that calmness and that relatability that she is so good at presenting. I really grabbed that. Like, Man, I can use that side of entertainment as well. It's not just always being the guy that brings the energy and creates these exciting moments.' Kelce also drew parallels between Swift and his mom, Donna Kelce. When asked about similarities between the two, he replied: 'Their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room. Their ability to show love and support no matter what. And on top of that, their work ethic. I saw my mother reach goals that she had set for herself, go from being a teller to working all the way up in the KeyBank building.' 'I've seen Taylor do the exact same thing,' he added. 'Setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard.'

After Wimbledon final loss, Carlos Alcaraz withdraws from Toronto event - here's why
Carlos Alcaraz in the Men's Singles Final at Wimbledon 2025 (Photo by) World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz has pulled out of next week's ATP Canadian Open in Toronto, citing the need to recover after his run to the Wimbledon final earlier this month. Tournament organisers confirmed the Spaniard's withdrawal on Monday. Alcaraz, a five-time Grand Slam singles champion, lost to world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final on July 13. The 22-year-old had been aiming for a third consecutive Wimbledon title. "I'm really sad to have to miss the National Bank Open in Toronto," Alcaraz said in a statement. "I tried my best to be ready for the tournament as it's one I really enjoy playing, but it comes just too soon for me as I recover after Wimbledon. I wish the event well and look forward to being back on the Canadian courts next year." Alcaraz reached the quarter-finals in his best run at the Canadian Open in 2023, where he was beaten by American Tommy Paul. Tournament director Karl Hale said losing a player like Alcaraz was disappointing. Poll What do you think is the biggest factor in Alcaraz's decision to withdraw? Wimbledon fatigue and recovery Injury concerns "It's disappointing to lose a player of Carlos' quality, as we know our fans were looking forward to watching him," Hale said. "Although he has been on the scene for a while, he's still at the beginning of his career and there will be plenty of opportunities for Canadians to see him again in the future." American Sebastian Korda (world No. 33) and Poland's Hubert Hurkacz (world No. 38) have also withdrawn due to leg and knee injuries, respectively.

Kate Middleton left 'in tears' after Wimbledon Centre Court 'courageous' act
Princess Kate Middleton was visibly emotional as she arrived at Centre Court for the 2024 Wimbledon Men's Singles Final. Her appearance marked a poignant moment, following months of treatment for a private cancer diagnosis earlier in the year. Throughout this time, the Princess had intentionally kept a low public profile. However, according to royal biographer Robert Jobson in his book Catherine, the Princess of Wales: The Biography, Kate was aware of the comfort her presence could bring to others during challenging times. Jobson suggests this awareness may have played a role in her decision to attend Wimbledon, not only because of her deep love for tennis, but also due to the powerful message her appearance would send. READ MORE: Nick Kyrgios believes Swiatek and Sinner wins are 'Not a good look' READ MORE: Padraig Harrington's comments slammed by PGA Tour star – 'Stupidest freaking thing' "The world would also have intermittent glimpses of the steely inner strength of the Princess of Wales as the year continued," he noted. "At the same time, she was equally aware of the reassurance and comfort that she could provide to those in a similar predicament," reports Wales Online. "On the afternoon of 14 July, the 15,000 spectators packed inside Wimbledon's Centre Court rose as one to welcome the Princess to the Men's Singles Final of the tennis championships. Many in the crowd were in tears. "It was not just the shy smile on the face of the tennis-loving Princess, thrilled to be at one of her favourite events, that set them off. It was also the fact that a beaming nine-year-old Princess Charlotte was at her side." Kate has since finished her chemotherapy treatment and has begun making additional public outings. However, specifics regarding her cancer diagnosis haven't been revealed. The Duchess of Cambridge attended this year's Women's and Men's Singles Final of the competition, joined by Prince William and kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Before this, there had been speculation about her attendance at this year's Wimbledon fixtures, with suggestions she may skip the Women's Final should a player from Belarus or Russia look set to triumph. Russia remains engaged in conflict with Ukraine, a British ally, whilst Belarus supports Russia - creating a delicate situation should a member of the Royal Family present silverware to a competitor from either nation. Beyond the tennis tournament, attention has turned to Kate's nutrition, with the Princess reportedly incorporating a £1.48 superfood into her daily routine that could help combat inflammation. The superfood being discussed is blueberries, a berry thought to provide numerous wellness advantages. Discussing their effects, Dr Federica Amati explained: "Blueberries are touted as a superfood that we should be consuming every day. The evidence is really good - blueberries are a great fruit to add to your daily diet. "But it's important to remember that we need a diversity of plants, so enjoy your blueberries, but make sure they're not the only fruit you're eating."

Kate Middleton left Wimbledon's Centre Court 'in tears' after 'courageous' act
Kate's appearance at the Men's Singles Final at Wimbledon in 2024 could have offered solace to others, a Royal biographer said. Princess Kate Middleton was moved to tears upon her arrival at Wimbledon's Centre Court for the 2024 Men's Singles Final. The Princess had been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer diagnosis throughout the first half of the year prior to making this public appearance. During this period, Kate had maintained a deliberately low profile, though Royal biographer Robert Jobson reveals in his book Catherine, the Princess of Wales: The Biography that she recognised how her public presence could offer solace to others. Robert suggests this understanding may have influenced her decision to attend Wimbledon - not merely due to her passion for tennis, but because of the symbolic significance her attendance would carry. "The world would also have intermittent glimpses of the steely inner strength of the Princess of Wales as the year continued," he noted. "At the same time, she was equally aware of the reassurance and comfort that she could provide to those in a similar predicament," reports Wales Online. "On the afternoon of 14 July, the 15,000 spectators packed inside Wimbledon's Centre Court rose as one to welcome the Princess to the Men's Singles Final of the tennis championships.
