American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has an excellent track-record for casting a diverse range of actors in his groundbreaking anthology series. But, while it's rare he gets it wrong, the show runner has ruffled feathers by announcing the first two cast members to feature in the forthcoming ninth season of the TV chiller. While no-one seems disappointed to learn Emma Roberts [of seasons 3, 4, 7 and 8] will be back, Murphy has gone left-field in casting Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy  -who isn't an actor. Odd choice?

"Things change when you’re wearing a silk shirt. Call me Kevin Escobar, man!" When Kevin Hart’s been speaking to Dwayne Johnson like that in Mexico, you don’t try to mess with him. More so when you catch up with the two and you realise that he is wearing – what else – a silk shirt. The easy banter reflects the bond between the two. Hoping that it will generate some politically incorrect responses, one asks Kevin what would pop up on a digital screen if he could summon one to appear to list out The Rock’s strengths and weaknesses – the way it is with the avatars of all characters in the 'Jumanji' movies. Kevin’s first cut response that shows he is still in Escobar mode: “His weakness? He doesn’t look good in silk. Looks stupid! Can’t pull these kind of shirts off, you know, ‘cause he don’t have what I have. Cause I am cool.” Pausing to stop laughing, he resumes with a “And strengths? The ability to … [Read more...] about Dwayne Johnson: Kevin Hart has a different energy after the accident

For boxing fans it is one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year. But Anthony Joshua’s heavyweight fight against Andy Ruiz Jr is also rapidly becoming the most controversial. Joshua will earn a career-high fee of about £60m when he faces Ruiz in the ancient Saudi Arabian city of Diriyah, on the outskirts of Riyadh, on Saturday. He insisted this week that the country was “trying to do a good job politically”. However, human rights groups have reacted with horror and warned the British boxer he is being duped by a regime trying to “sportswash” its international image. Felix Jakens, Amnesty International UK’s head of campaigns, said that while they never expected Joshua to be an overnight expert, “if you’re fighting for big money in a country with a human rights record as bad as Saudi Arabia, then you’d be well advised to counter criticism by speaking out about human rights issues”. “The fight is pure … [Read more...] about ‘They want the money’: the real reason boxing is going to Saudi Arabia

Three Premier League teams will be led by temporary managers this weekend – and all three learned the ropes by coaching younger players at those clubs. Duncan Ferguson first coached as a volunteer in Everton’s academy under David Moyes; Hayden Mullins was working as the Watford Under-23s coach when Quique Sánchez Flores was sacked this week; and Freddie Ljungberg started his coaching career with Arsenal Under-15s back in 2006, before returning to the club to lead the Under-23s. These promotions for Ferguson, Ljungberg and Mullins mean that 15 Premier League clubs will be led this weekend by managers who started their careers with youth teams, reserves or part-time sides. Brendan Rodgers (Watford and Chelsea), Dean Smith (Leyton Orient), Eddie Howe (Bournemouth), Sean Dyche (Watford), Ralph Hasenhüttl (Unterhaching) and José Mourinho (Vitória de Setúbal) all started their careers coaching youth teams. Chris Wilder and Daniel Farke were given their … [Read more...] about Where is your club’s next manager? Coaching the youth team
