The world mourns horror visionary Wes Craven today, and with that naturally comes a look back at some of his masterpieces --ANightmare on Elm Street, Last House on the Left,Screamand more. But no one is talking about another Craven masterpiece (of a different kind). Specifically, thecompletely bonkers 1984 TV movie calledInvitation to h**l.
Invitation to Hellstarred Susan Lucci (ofAll My Childrenfame), Robert Urich (known best forSpenser: For HireorLove Boat: The Next Wave,if you"re either insane or aLove Boatenthusiast), Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster)andJoanna Cassidy (Blade Runner, Six Feet UnderandDon"t Tell Mom The Babysitter"s Dead"s"Right on top of that" Rose). La Lucci plays Jessica Jones (no, not that one), the owner of a VERY EXCLUSIVE health club/spain California that married couple Urich and Cassidy are pressured into joining. As is often the case in Southern California, the spa is actually a portal to h**l (you get there via the steam room) and Lucci is, essentially, Satan.
Highlights include Robert Urich spending 20 minutes in an astronaut suit, Lucci dressing like a mix between one of the Lizard people fromV and an extra from Jem and the HologramsandSoleil Moon Frye getting sucked into h**l only to come out possessed by a demon, doing her best Kathleen Turner impersonationandtrying to kill her stuffed bunny (it"s at 1:12:48 if the video below doesn"t jump to it right away).
In any case, its tons of fun, the 1980s at its finest, and was actually the project Craven shot just beforeA Nightmare on Elm Street. The fact that Susan Lucci and Wes Craven spent even a modicum of time together, let alone an entire movie working together, will never stop blowing my mind. Additionally,Invitation to Hellgave us the below, which is, perhaps, the most important thing to come out of 1984 minusA Nightmare on Elm Streetand Mac computers:
Rest in peace, Wes Craven. You entertained us in so many different ways.
So, Jared Leto and his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, hosted a three-day Malibu camping experience called Camp Marsover the weekend. The camp boasted standard activities like "hiking, climbing, yoga, cooking classes, raising the flag, and camp fire sing-alongs," as well as two band and DJ performances. Also maybe some ghost stories and chances to swap hair tips with Leto.
Images have emerged from this strange gathering, and it appears that the weekend was a combination of Coachella, a work retreat, and a Guilty Remnant gathering.
Here are the campers:
Here are a few camp activities the campers took part in:
Beginners Tightrope-Walking
Advanced Bee Combat
Camp Talent Shows
Camp? Or the first seeds of a Child of Leto cult? Either way, there are probably worse ways to spend $900 than watching Jared Leto commune with nature for a weekend like, say, spending the money on a few tickets to Burning Man.
Fan Dies After Fall From Upper Deck at Atlanta Braves Game FULL VIDEO
A man is dead after falling about 40 feet from the upper deck while the Atlanta Braves played the New York Yankees at Turner Field Saturday night.
Atlanta police say they are investigating the cause of the fall.
The medical examiner said that Gregory Murrey, 60, of Alpharetta,died upon arrival at Grady Memorial Hospital. The fan did not hit or injure anyone else during the fall.
"Right now preliminary investigation reveals there is no type of foul play but we need to wait until the medical examiner rules on the cause of death," said Atlanta police lieutenant Charles Hampton, the department"s homicide commander. "Were asking anybody whos in the area to come forward and let us know what they saw. But we dont believe it was anything suspicious."
The fall occurred in the top of the seventh inning, as the Yankees Alex Rodriguez was walking to the plate amid a chorus of boos. The man apparently fell off the upper deck behind the home-plate area and landed between the second and third row of seats on the first level in section 202. Fans seated in that area immediately scattered, and paramedics rushed in and did chest compressions, a form of CPR, in an attempt to revive him.
The man eventually was carried out. But there were at least two pools of blood on the concrete where he was lying. Three rows of seats were emptied and a stadium worker with a mop arrived soon after to mop up the blood.
Earlier, Sgt. Greg Lyon with Atlanta police said, Yes. A fan has fallen and his condition is grave. We are investigating the circumstances of the fall, and I will keep you posted as I learn more.

The Atlanta Braves released the following statement:
"There was an accident during tonight"s game involving a fan. The fam was immediately treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital."
This is not the first tragedy at Turner Field. In 2013, a Braves fan, Ronald Lee Homer Jr., 30, of Conyers died Aug. 12 after climbing over a railing and leaping to his death in a parking lot 85 feet below. Homers family said the death was accidental but it was ruled a suicide.
Another man fell to his death in 2008. Justin Hayes, 25, of c*****g suffered fell an estimated four levels inside the stadium to field level, striking a concrete and metal railing. He was taken to the hospital but later died of his injuries.

9 Questions With the History-Making, Youngest and First African-American Jean Valjean "This Was My Dream"
Kyle Jean-Baptiste made history July 23 when he went on as Jean Valjean in the Broadway revival of Les Misrables at just 21 years old. We ask him about making history, what advice he was given and what"s next!
Jean-Baptiste is the youngest actor and first African-American to have performed the role on Broadway, although there have been others who have played it in the national tour and other productions. He was cast in the Broadway revival following his graduation from Baldwin Wallace University.
When he"s not going on for Jean Valjean, the role that he understudies, Jean-Baptiste plays Constable and Courfeyrac.
How did it feel to make your debut as Jean Valjean, knowing that you were making history?Kyle Jean-Baptiste: I did not immediately think of it as making history. This was my dream since I was a little boy. This incredible team of creatives presented an opportunity to play a part I have dreamed of playing since I was introduced to theatre, and I am forever grateful. I felt a huge amount of responsibility to do right by them and to honor this iconic material.
Tell us about singing "Bring Him Home." You were asked to sing this for you audition, yes? What was it like to be singing it on Broadway? Also, you"re friends/around the same age as your Marius, Chris McCarrell, so was that moment surreal?KJ: Yes, I had to sing it a couple times for the audition. This song is so iconic, and everyone knows it well. I went into my first performance as Valjean very nervous to sing it, but the audience received it well.
Chris McCarrell is an awesome guy and amazingly talented. I couldn"t believe I was performing with a guy I went to school with on Broadway!
Same goes for scenes with Javert what was it like to face off with someone who is at least 20 years older than you?KJ: It was exhilarating! To have the opportunity to perform this role opposite [Earl Carpenter] someone with such experience and talent was such a learning experience. He treated me as an equal on that stage. It was so fun to face off with someone for whom I have so much respect.
What did it feel like when you got the call that you booked your first Broadway show so shortly after graduating college?KJ: I got the call from my agent on the phone and yelled like a child. I couldn"t believe it. I felt like my hard work had paid off. I was, and am, so grateful.
Did Ramin Karimloo give you any words of wisdom before your first performance as Jean Valjean?KJ: I was nervous about being too young, but Ramin helped me through and said to be in the moment and not work too hard to play old or to "perform" the role. He said the costumes and makeup will tell the story of me aging. He"s an incredible guy and [an] incredible talent.
You"ve said that Les Miz/Jean Valjean is a "dream." When did you first encounter the show?KJ: I encountered this show during my senior year of high school after I performed in my first musical. I listened to the album repeatedly for a solid week and then said to my mom, "I"m going to be Jean Valjean." Haha!
How has the transition been going from college to Broadway? Is this a whirlwind experience? What has been the response from your peers?KJ: I did not expect the immediate success. Everything happened so fast. I am fortunate to have my alma mater, classmates (BWMT15), teachers and friends and family support me. They are all thrilled for me. So many of my fellow Baldwin Wallace graduates were in the audience cheering me on for my first performance as Valjean. It means the world to have their support.
Since this was a dream role for you and you didn"t think you"d have a stab at it until much later in life what other roles would you like to take on?KJ: Awwww, man, so many roles! I would love to play Billy Bigelow [in Carousel], John in Miss Saigon, Coalhouse Walker [in Ragtime], too many to name. I"m also interested in great roles in plays. I want to continue to break more barriers by challenging myself, while bringing my passion and my style to the table.
What"s up next for you after Les Miz? What other projects do you have your eye on?KJ: I have a lot of exciting things coming up! Keep your eyes on Playbill for updates!

Tropical Storm Erika threatens Dominican Republic Big Update on Tropical Storm ErikaWeather.com is reporting the National Hurricane Center has declared Tropical Storm Erika dissipated near the coast of eastern Cuba at around 9:30 this morning.So while thunderstorms and flooding might be possible in the Tampa area on Monday, it appears Raw will be unaffected by Erika and will go on as scheduled at the Amalie Arena.WWE Making Announce Team Changes
As noted, Rich Brennan has been promoted to full-time WWE Smackdown lead announcer, and with Tough Enough ending Booker T will also be returning to the announce table in WWE.
Based on the Tweets below, it appears the Smackdown announce team will now consist of Brennan, Booker T and Jerry Lawler, while Raw will be called by Michael Cole, JBL and Byron Saxton. No word on what WWE has planned for Tom Phillips:
The Oscar winner, 51, is dating L.A.-based photographer Bryan Randall, PEOPLE has confirmed.
The lifestyle photographer and model, 49, is a Portland, Oregon, native, and a source tells PEOPLE the two have been dating for "several months" and met through mutual friends.
With a modeling career spanning nearly two decades, Randall has posed for the likes of Saint Laurent and Harper"s Bazaar.
The two were spotted leaving L.A. hot spot Craig"s on Thursday night. Sources have said that Bullock brought the new man in her life as her date to the intimate backyard wedding of friends Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux on Aug. 5.
Bryan Randall in the 2013 short film Aftermath, which he made with Ben Howdeshell and Joan Allen.
Bullock had been previously married to Jesse James, whom she divorced in in 2010 after five years of marriage following reports that he cheated on her.
Before the divorce, the two had begun the process of adopting a child, and Bullock introduced her bundle of joy, Louis, to the world in April 2010 after finalizing the adoption as a single mother.
"He"s just perfect, I can"t even describe him any other way," Bullock revealed exclusively to PEOPLE.
Louis, now 5, has since been the main focus of her life. Even when she signed on to voice a character in the new Minions film, she did it with her son in mind.
"I wanted to make something my son could see and watch and enjoy, even though he doesn"t know what I do and he doesn"t know it"s me I can sit in the theater and watch him," she told the Belfast Telegraph, adding, "Nothing makes me happier than hearing that boy laugh."
Zac Efrons DJ drama We Are Your Friends is being silenced by the faith-based film War Room at the U.S. box office, according to early Friday estimates.
We Are Your Friends would appear to have few friends heading into the weekend, and will likely finish with a dismal $2.6 million. Projections were as high as $10 million a few days ago.
Meanwhile, the Christian drama War Room is showing traction in second at nearly $10 million double its $5 million forecast.
Straight Outta Compton will stay at the top of the box office this weekend with about $13 million, while Owen Wilsons thriller No Escape is performing slightly below expectations and should take in about $8 million over the next three days.
Universal-Legendarys Straight Outta Compton, a biopic about the iconic rap group N.W.A, is showing decent legs heading into its third frame, and should lead the Friday box office with about $4 million. It will wind up the weekend with more than $133 million after 17 days a stellar result, given its moderate $29 million production cost.
It continues to generate conversation and excitement, and its continuing to benefit from a very good release date, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Rentrak.
Sonys Christian drama War Room launched with $600,000 at 1,017 locations at Thursday preview screenings, obliterating Warner Bros. We Are Your Friends, which generated a mild $175,000. War Room expanded to 1,135 sites Friday and will have the top per-screen average among wide releases this weekend.
We Are Your Friends, which expanded to 2,333 locations on Friday, has been aimed at younger women and the electronic music community. Its a small risk for Warner Bros. given that the studio paid an extremely modest $2 million for the movie at the American Film Market.
War Room, which is going out through Sonys TriStar label, centers on a couple who find the solution to their crumbling marriage in prayer. TriStar scored impressively last year with another faith-based drama, Heaven Is for Real, which topped $90 million domestically. War Room stars T.C. Stallings, Elizabeth Becka and Noel Baker.
War Room, which has a $3.5 million budget, has been the top online ticket seller at the Fandango site, generating more than 30% of sales.
Dergarabedian noted that Sony is benefiting from slotting War Room strategically. Its a movie thats going to play well among an audience thats underserved, he added.
Should the $13 million estimate hold, Straight Outta Compton will become the fourth title this year to lead the U.S. box office for three consecutive weekends, following Universals tentpoles Jurassic World and Furious 7, as well as Warners American Sniper.
The Weinstein Co.s political thriller No Escape, which opened Wednesday with $1.2 million at 3,007 theaters and adds 343 more locations Friday, should wind up in a battle for third place with Paramounts fifth weekend of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation at about $8 million. Rogue Nation will likely end the weekend nearing $170 million.
As of Aug. 27, the summer box office total was up 8.18% over last year to $4.24 billion but 7.59% behind 2013. Year-to-date was up 5.77% at $7.5 billion over last year, according to Rentrak.
Josh Duggar admitted to having an Ashley Madison account on Aug. 20.(Photo: D Dipasupil, Getty Images for Extra)
When news of Josh Duggar"s latest scandal broke on Thursday, Twitter wasted no time castigating the besieged reality star, who admitted to having an Ashley Madison account after spending years preaching about the sanctity of marriage while working for the conservative Family Research Council (which lobbies against abortion rights and gay marriage).

With her cover of Vanity Fair, her television show and a huge social media fan base it is easy to think Caitlyn Jenner has had an easy transition.
But look online and not everyone has been as accepting of the transgender star with the comment section of her Twitter filled with people telling the 65-year-old "to go die" and that she is a "freak" and a "perv".
English artist Conor Collinssaw those messages of hate and decided he wanted to make something beautiful from them, using the tweets to create a portrait of Caitlyn.

Finding a positive: An artist has turned violent and threatening tweets about Caitlyn Jenner into an artwork
Based off the reality star"s Vanity Fair cover, at first glance the black and white image looks like a line drawing but on closer inspection Caitlyn"s form is created using the very words that sought to take her down.
Thanks to social media Conor"s artwork was quickly shared by hundreds and eventually his subject, Caitlyn, also saw the work.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday night, the former Olympian praised the Manchester-based artist.
Praise:Thanks to social media the work was quickly shared by hundreds and eventually his subject, Caitlyn, also saw the work and tweeted her thanks on Wednesday
Target: White it may have seemed like the world was accepting of the 65-year-old (pictured July)not everyone has been with the comment section of her Twitter filled with people telling the 65-year-old "to go die" and that she is a "freak" and a "perv"
The star write: "Turning hate into love is so beautiful and powerful - great job by this artist."
Of course, the tweet by the world"s newest Social Media Queen as crowed at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday instantly turned the work and the artist into a trending topic on Twitter.
Iconic: The piece of art was created by English artist Conor Collins who used the star"s Vanity Fair cover
Taking to his own Twitter, Conor thanked those who shared the piece for their support.
"Feeling rather overwhelmed by the response to my painting. Not to mention the vibrate function on my phone is well and truly dead!
"Brother just called me to say that mum text him saying ""Conor"s become viral on that bird call site."""
Speaking to the DailyMail.com Conor said he had hoped his work would touch people but did not even think on this scale.
He said on Thursday morning: "I didn"t think I would be a trending topic, however, when I finished the painting I did think it may strike a chord with people, however I am very moved that people have felt so emotionally engaged by it.
"It seems to have spread really quickly and the responses are on the whole really rather positive. For every person who sees it, another person is shown the persecution and real danger trans people face."
However, Conor has also been subjected to just a taste of what his subject receives daily: "I"ve received a fair bit of hate mail in my emails overnight from people who hate the transgendered community, or hate me, or just generally hate a lot of things.
"But I find the more hate mail I receive...the better job I am probably doing."
Conor initially came across the hateful responses after Caitlyn first revealed her true self.
He told the DailyMail.com: "I admire what Caitlyn has done and how she has used her position and privileged to make a difference.
Deceptively hate-filled: At first glance the black and white image looks like a line drawing but on closer inspection Caitlyn"s form is created using the very words that sought to take her down
Tough work: The artist said he struggled to read and then re-writing some of the comments from Caitlyn"s Twitter account
"So naturally like anyone curious I went on her twitter to see more, and was horrified by some of the comments. When I saw these I wanted to show them because it is a reality of what trans people experience every day.
"Caitlyn"s making a difference to the trans community, however, I didnt want to hide the darkness and persecution they face in my art piece. It just wouldnt be fair."
Reading through and the re-writing the comments and threats took its toll on the artist but he was determined to finish, and completed the work in just one night despite his pieces normally taking two months to two years.
New point of view: Conor said he hoped the work will make people realise the struggles trans people face
"To get through it I ended up working through half a bottle of whiskey and didn"t stop working on the painting till the small hours of the morning. I am not sure how I kept a steady hand, however I don"t think I could have written so much hate sober."
While Caitlyn has not reached out personally to Conor, the artist was just excited that she had seen his work.
"Outside of the [re-tweet] I haven"t heard from Caitlyn, however I can understand she must be totally run off her feet of late. So happy with the RT alone!"
Trending comment: The tweet by the world"s newest Social Media Queen as crowed at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday instantly turned the work and the artist into a trending topic on Twitter
BREAKING: North Korea Fires at South Korean Military
(Aug. 20, 2015) In an escalation of the tense situation in the region, North and South Korea exchanged fire over their heavily fortified border Thursday, the South Korean Defense Ministry said.
South Korea detected a projectile, assumed to be a small rocket, that was fired toward the western province of Gyeonggi, a Defense Ministry official told CNN.
The South Korean military responded by firing a few dozen shells at the area from which the North Korean projectile was fired, the official said.
The Pentagon is monitoring the escalating tension closely, Cmdr. William Urban, a Defense Department spokesman, told CNNs Brian Todd.
And a U.S. official told CNNs Barbara Starr that the U.S. believes that North Korea fired a shot at a South Korean loudspeaker, and South Korea responded with 36 artillery shells.
The U.S. believes North Korea deliberately placed mines in the path of a South Korean patrol in the demilitarized zone between the two countries, sparking the exchanges, the official said.
Tensions spiked on the Korean Peninsula after two South Korean soldiers were seriously wounded by landmines on August 4 in the demilitarized zone.
South Korea also has accused the North of planting the mines, an allegation that Pyongyang denies.
Seoul vowed a harsh response to the landmines and resumed blaring propaganda messages over the border from huge loudspeakers.
The move infuriated North Korea, which called the broadcasting a direct action of declaring a war. Over the weekend, it threatened to blow up the South Korean speakers and also warned of indiscriminate strikes.
A history of conflict
While such tension is worrisome, it is nothing new.
Over the past six decades, skirmishes have flared repeatedly along land and sea borders as each state aims to reunify the peninsula according to its own terms and system of government. Deadly naval clashes occurred along the demarcation line in 1999, 2002 and 2009.
After Japans defeat in World War II, Korea became a divided nation the capitalist South supported by the United States and its Western allies, and the communist North an ally of the Soviet Union.
Cold War tensions erupted into war in 1950, devastating the peninsula and taking the lives of as many as 2 million people. The fighting ended with a truce, not a treaty, and settled little.
Technically, the two Koreas are still at war.
Besides the border skirmishes, other incidents have proved provocative. In 1968, North Korea dispatched commandos in an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate South Koreas President. In 1983, a bombing linked to Pyongyang killed 17 high-level South Korean officials on a visit to Myanmar. In 1987, the North was accused of bombing a South Korean airliner.
And now it is happening again.
On Monday, North Korea pumped its own propaganda broadcasts over the border, the same day South Korea started military exercises with the United States and other countries. Pyongyang says it views the drills as a prelude to an invasion.
The two sides have exchanged fire recently at sensitive points.
In November 2010, North Korea shelled an island near the countries disputed maritime border, killing two South Korean marines.
They also traded fire in October 2014. A clash took place between patrol boats in the Yellow Sea, and then another flared days later over land after North Korean gunners apparently targeted balloons carrying leaflets critical of the countrys reclusive regime.
Watch out, Foxy lady. The Twitterverse is comin" to get ya.
Apparently the headlines that Megan Fox and husband Brian Austin Green have separated after 11 years together, including five years of marriage, read more like "Megan Fox is back on the market and you"re going to walk outside, see her and she"s going to date you" because Twitter positively lit up with virtual cheers.
Isn"t it beautiful how many people saw the silver lining of what could have been just the latest gloomy moment for celebrity couples this summer?
Or disturbing, whichever. (Truly, though, the teenage-caliber level of optimism is staggering.)
First of all, the mother of two young sons probably doesn"t even plan on going outsidelet alone date, mingle or Tinderfor the time being while she allows the hubbub to die down.
PHOTOS: Megan Fox"s hottest looks
But regardless of how Fox is actually feeling, dozens are ready to swoop in and help the brunette beauty dry her tears. Because the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star, Maxim cover girl and onetime Sexiest Woman in the World (per FHM"s wide-eyed readers circa 2008) is now obtainable.
And no, to those of you who claim ignorance as to who her husband is, he isn"t some regular guy. He"s David Silver.
But who are we to rain on anyone"s parade? In fact, we"ll help get the word out that there are a number of gentleman, and a few ladies, who would love to be there for the 29-year-old actress in this difficult time.
So here is a sampling of the wishful thinkers who are in line to become the next Mr. or Mrs. Fox. And the line starts behind this guy:

Chin up, young man! You have just as much a chance as any of these guys.
New Details About Bombshell Josh Duggar Sexual Abuse Allegations
Josh Duggar isnt sitting around at home and sulking about the cancellation of 19 Kids and Counting. Instead, the embattled former reality show star is spending his free time enjoying outings with his family members and friends.
19 Kids and Counting was cancelled two months after Josh Duggar confessed to sexually molesting his younger sisters. Because his vile actions caused such an outrage, many of his critics likely thought that he would lie low for a while by holing up in the Duggar compound and overdosing on his mothers tater tot casserole. However, Josh has made numerous outings since his show got the ax, and his family members and friends havent shunned him.
According to Us Weekly, Josh and Anna Duggar recently took their tiny newborn daughter, Meredith Grace, out to eat at an Arkansas restaurant. A sleepy-looking Josh took a break from his plate of pasta to pose for a picture, and the photo of the smiling father holding up his bawling baby was later posted on the Duggar Family Official Facebook page.
Picture of our sweetest new granddaughter Meredith Grace with her mommy and daddy, the photo was captioned. Meredith is the Josh and Annas fourth child.
Josh Duggar has been spending a lot of quality time with his kids now that hes no longer working for the Family Research Council. As the Inquisitr previously reported, the former 19 Kids and Counting star stepped down from his position with the FRC soon after he made his shocking molestation confession. He was working as the executive director of FRC Action in Washington, D.C., so he had to leave his home in Maryland to move back to Arkansas after becoming unemployed.
Even though Josh is no longer getting paid to speak out against gay marriage and abortion, hes still finding money to spend on having a good time. He recently let his Instagram followers know that he had a blast going bowling with his son Michael.
According to the Duggar Family News: Life Is Not All Pickles and Hairspray Facebook page, Joshs family members arent the only ones spending time with him he still has friends. He and two buddies recently went mudding, and a few Pickles and Hairspray commenters criticized Josh for going out and having a good time while Anna Duggar presumably stayed home to care for their infant daughter.
This is just another typical Duggar women take care of the house and babies, while the men folk do nada," Lori Reynolds wrote.
However, Lindy Lou thinks that Anna Duggars husband wouldnt be of much use if he spent more time at home.
I doubt he would be of much practical assistance. Cooking, cleaning, changing nappies is womens work. Apparently.
The mudding photo above appears to be taken from the Instagram page of a Duggar friend named Joe Donaldson.
He captioned the picture, A little late night 4-wheelin in the humvee! We bulldozed thru the forest then rinsed it off in the ponds! Lol #boysandtheirtoys @joshduggar @markdominguez.
Joe Donaldson is the co-owner of the Sams Furniture company in Arkansas, so he might help Josh and Anna furnish their new home. Joe accompanied Josh to a baseball game the day after baby Meredith was born, and he shared the photo below that shows his wife helping out with the renovation of Josh and Annas house. You can also see Jana Duggar working hard on the left-hand side of the picture.
What a servant hearted wifee I have! Donaldson captioned the picture. After working a long day she jumps in the truck with me to go help friends of ours clean & work on their house till late hours in the night! I love her!
Back in April, Radar Online shared a few photos of Josh and Annas new Siloam Springs home, and it definitely looked like a fixer upper. Judging from the Instagram photo below, it looks like Anna Duggar has also enlisted her brother-in-law, David Waller, and a few of his family members to help refurbish the house.
Theres still no word on how Josh Duggar plans on supporting his family of six now that hes lost his reality show and his job with the FRC, but for now he has plenty of friends and family members who are willing to help him rebuild his life.

This was in fact one of the primary reasons that we saw the company diversify its core and become the part of larger parent company, now to be known as Alphabet. Whether Google and Co. get to keep the name, given that BMW already owns a company by the similar name, well find out soon. But the company has just shown off its latest Project Tango tablet, this time manufactured in conjunction with US chipmaking giant, Intel.
Given Googles preference to give anything even remotely futuristic a try, we got the first Project Tango tablet last year when the company partnered with Nvidia for its release. Powered by the Tegra K1, the device came with 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of internal storage, a depth sensor and became the second device to run Nividias mobile SoC, after the Xiaomi MiPad. We also saw Google cut its price in half after a while, whether due to disappointing demand or to further boost market interest, its unknown. But things are moving ahead with Project Tango, as this time its Intels turn to mess around with Augmented Reality on Googles behalf.
As far as its functionality goes, the device manages to stay true to the concept of Augmented Reality. Not only does it let you simulate 3D models of your environment in real time, but it also lets you interact with it in new and interesting ways. Exampled include building Minecraft style building blocks into your mapped environment. In fact, one of the coolest features that the company showed off with the Tango device at IDF was a custom built NERF gun which nests the device and allows you to duck and shoot at and from robots that are mapped in your environment.
The device comes with a 6-inch touchscreen, Intels Cherry Trail X5 processor ticking under the hood and a combined USB/HDMI port.The Project Tango developer kit is expected to go on sale by this years end and will cost around the same $512 price tag that goes along Nvidias device as well.

BLACK OPS 3 "DIRECTO BETA MULTIJUGADOR"!! - TheGrefg
The Call of Duty: Blacks Ops III multiplayer beta is coming in August and Activision finalized the dates it will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Wednesday. This is the first public beta for the shooter in a long time and everyone will have the same length of playtime despite the PS4 getting it first.
The Black Ops III multiplayer beta hits the PlayStation 4 first on Wednesday, August 19, and will last on that platform until Sunday, August 23. The beta will then open up for the Xbox One and PC on Wednesday, August 26, and run through Sunday, August 30. That means all three platforms will get exactly five days to try out the shooter.
#BlackOps3 MP Beta intel is here. Check the blog post for all Beta dates and more info: http://t.co/1pdkllsszf
Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) July 22, 2015
PlayStation 4 owners get the Black Ops III beta first as part of the timed exclusivity arrangement for DLC that Sony announced during E3. Microsoft previously held the timed exclusivity rights since the release of Modern Warfare 2, but either elected not to continue it or were outbid by Sony when the original contract with Activision ended.
This was one of several timed exclusivity announcements Sony made at E3. Grabbing the rights for Call of Duty is considered to be somewhat of a coup for PlayStation 4 since the fall lineup for the console is light on first-party exclusives, and Black Ops III has topped a Piper Jaffray survey as the title gamers are most excited about this fall.
Details on what maps, modes, weapons, and perks will be available in the Black Ops III beta have not been announced yet. However, Inquisitr previously covered some of the beta details in April.
Only the Black Ops III multiplayer will be part of this beta. The campaign and zombies mode will not be included. Drift0r says that the beta will only include three to four maps and a limited set of guns and perks. It will be enough to give everyone a taste of the game and provide enough for Treyarch to track for bugs and balancing, but will not be everything.
Those interested in participating in the beta will need to pre-order the game from the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live, Steam, or any participating retailer. You can find the list of participating retailers straight from the Black Ops IIIwebsite.
While pre-ordering games has generally become frowned upon after multiple disasters, Inquisitr previously explained that pre-ordering to gain access to a beta is just fine. You can always cancel the pre-order prior to the Call of Duty: Black Ops III release on November 6.

Matt Barnes -- Hookin" Up with Rihanna A Real Possibility
A reliever started today, and it ended poorly. Which is nothing new for a team that"s given Joe Kelly as many starts as Boston.
In his first major league start, Matt Barnes did a pretty good job of driving home exactly why the Red Sox had never given him a role in the rotation, allowing six runs to the Indians in an 8-2 loss.
If you"ve seen a Joe Kelly start this season, you"ve seen what Matt Barnes did today. Three scoreless innings. Three strong scoreless innings. The sort that make you wonder why everyone"s so down on the kid. Then the lineup gets a second look at him, and it"s all over. Not the shutout, but the game. After Francisco Lindor struck out to start the fourth, five straight Indians reached. If the big hit that broke things open--a two-run double off the bat of Lonnie Chisenhall--saw Hanley Ramirez do his best impression of a little league reject backing up to the warning track as the ball went hopelessly over his head, well, it was Barnes who gave up a hard hit ball to the wall.
By the time the fourth was finally over, the Indians had five runs to Boston"s one, scored on a solo shot from Travis Shaw, who also produced the other Boston run by singling home Josh Rutledge in the ninth, and continues to intrigue with his bat. Barnes gave up another run on a solo shot to Carlos Santana in the fifth, which would prove his last inning of the game.
There was a moment during that Santana homer. Mookie Betts headed back, then slowed as he realized it was beyond reach, and ended up coming to a rest leaning on the bullpen wall, arms crossed, sharing some words with Robbie Ross Jr. It was a moment of defeat. Betts had just laid out to make a great grab in center to save Barnes more trouble, and there was the man on the mound, not even giving him a chance to do the same. That"s all the better parts of the Red Sox outfield ask of their pitchers, but they don"t get it.
That"s not Matt Barnes" fault, honestly. After all, Barnes is a reliever. The Sox have been working him as a starter in Triple-A, but it"s apparently towards an end of improving his performance out of the bullpen in the long term. That he was called up for this game was just a matter of circumstance, the fault of a stray ball in batting practice knocking Steven Wright out of action. Barnes is a bystander in all of this, and nothing more.
But whoever"s at fault, it"s a d**n shame to watch a young player like Betts go all-in to save a hit in a 5-1 game, only to have the next ball hit in his direction sail over the wall to make it 6-1. Guys like Xander Bogaerts know it can be different. He, like Dustin Pedroia before him, was baptized with a championship. A World Series is a lot to ask for, obviously, but it would be nice to show him even just a competitive Red Sox team. One where that homer is the exception, and not the rule. Where a 6-1 deficit inspires a "just one of those nights" conversations rather than "same as always."
Bella Thorne Shades PewdiePie at 2015 Teen Choice Awards?
Screamingwith style.
Bella Thorne turned heads at the Teen Choice AwardsSunday night in a super-short Balmain minidress from the label"sResort 2016 collection.
The orange and tan patterned dress verged on being too short, but paired with n**e, strappy sandals that elongated her alreadylong legs, the 17-year-old pulled it off in a classy, age-appropriate way.
Thorne took home the Best Villain surfboard for her role in "The Duff." We"re going to go ahead and say she won for best dressed, too.

Don"t mess with Rihanna. She"ll call you out.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Matt Barnes is finding out the hard way after seeming to confirm rumors the two were sort of an item. Rihanna shot back on Sunday, seeming to suggest the two hadn"t even met.
Barnes and his estranged wife Gloria Govan both talked to TMZ in recent days about the rumors, with Barnes saying they were "just past the crush stage" and Govan saying she didn"t mind the two hooking up, as long as the hip-hop star hooked her up with concert tickets.
Well, RiRi has heard enough. Just check out the hashtags on her Instagram response to Barnes" interview.
Matt, haven"t you seen the video for "B*tch better have my money"? You don"t play around with RiRi.
(Plus, she"s probably dating Lewis Hamilton anyway ... you know, according to TMZ)
HBO Miniseries: Show Me a Hero – Justice Trailer (HBO)
Show Me a Hero: As TV projects go, pedigrees dont get much better than this. Youve got David Simon, who created one of the best TV shows ever in The Wire, as showrunner. An Oscar winner, London, Ont.-born Paul Haggis, directs. And Oscar Isaac, who earned raves for Inside Llewyn Davis and snagged a role in the hotly anticipated new Star Wars franchise, is the lead actor. The supporting cast are no slouches either, with Alfred Molina, Winona Ryder, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Catherine Keener on board. The miniseries dramatizes a real-life battle over public housing in 1980s Yonkers, N.Y. (HBO at 8)
Teen Choice Awards: If Show Me a Hero is TVs version of high culture, I guess this is the low. Its the annual bash at which celebrities gather to accept surfboards for things like Choice Male and Female Hottie, Choice Movie Liplock and Choice Movie Hissy Fit. The prizes, in the fields of TV, film, music, sports, fashion, comedy and the web, are chosen by teenage fans. Dont kid yourself, the stars know which side their bread is buttered on; theyll be there. The groups 5 Seconds of Summer and Little Mix (featuring one Perrie Edwards, a.k.a. Zayn Maliks ex) are to perform, and Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin) and Josh Peck (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) co-host. (Global at 8)
Humans: Its Season 1 finale time for this eight-part series. While the drama about the interactions between humans and artificially intelligent servants known as synths hasnt been pulling in Walking Dead-level ratings (or even Mad Men ratings, for that matter), it has already been renewed for a second season. In the closer, the fugitive synths are capture by Hobb (Danny Webb), but Laura Hawkins (Katherine Parkinson) and her family come up with a scheme to save Anita (Gemma Chan) and her robot friends.

Professional golfer, Tony Finau tees-off as he and Daniel Summerhays playing a scramble Saturday, June 13, 2015, at Nibley Park Golf Course in Salt Lake City. Daniel played with his son Jack and Tony played with Grace Summerhays, daughter of Boyd Summerhays.

Utahs Tony Finau, who tied for 14th in the U.S. Open in June, will play in his second major when he competes in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits GC in Kohler, Wisconsin this weekend.
Finau tees off at 7:15 MDT, the same time as Tiger Woods, but the two wont be playing in the same threesome. Finau will tee off the No. 1 tee with South Africas Brenden Grace and Australias Danny Lee, while Woods tees off No. 10 with Martin Kaymer and Keegan Bradley.
The 25-year-old Finau is having an outstanding rookie season on the PGA Tour, already banking $1.7 million this year and easily securing his spot for next years Tour, ranking No. 42 on the FedEx Cup list. He got into the PGA Championship because he is one of the PGAs top 70 money-winners over the past year.
Fruit Heights Daniel Summerhays, who played in the U.S. Open this year, just missed qualifying for the PGA, but could get in as an alternate if a couple of players withdraw at the last minute. As of Wednesday, Summerhays was the No. 2 alternate to get in the tourney behind Swedens Carl Pettersson.
Sandys Steve Schneiter has played in a dozen PGA Championships over the years, including 2014, as one of the low 20 club pros from the annual National Club Pro tournament. However this year, he couldnt compete in that event because it conflicted with the U.S. Senior Open.

The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.
An ankle injury suffered by Tarvaris Jackson in the third quarter Friday night didnt sound as bad afterward as it looked on the field.
Coach Pete Carroll said he didnt know if Jackson had suffered a high ankle sprain but that the initial thought is that Jackson may be out only two weeks or so.
Heres specifically what Carroll said when asked initially about Jackson: Well, its going to be a little bit. It depends on how he comes back. But, of course were concerned. Well see how he does. T-Jack has been doing really well for us, and hes been exactly what weve been counting on, so its going to take him a while to get back and its going to push R.J. (Archer) to get a lot more work in the next couple weeks. Its probably a two-week deal or something like that, so well see what that means.
Heres what Carroll said later when asked if it was a high ankle sprain, which typically require a longer recovery: Im not sure about that yet. He got whacked pretty good. But I dont know if its a designated high ankle.
Still, while Carroll said two weeks, his comments also seemed to allow that Jackson could be sidelined longer.
If so, then the Seahawks may have a decision on their hands about what to do at backup quarterback.
The Seahawks have only Archer as a listed quarterback behind Russell Wilson and Jackson. They also, of course, have B.J. Daniels, who served as essentially the No. 3 quarterback last year but this season is being tried as a receiver and returner, and has seemed to do enough that he remains having a legitimate shot to make the roster.
If Jackson is out just a few weeks, then the Seahawks dont really have an issue for the season. Recall that Jackson is making $1.5 million this season, all guaranteed (and all already counted against the salary cap) so hes basically entrenched as the backup if healthy. Seattle has made it pretty clear it didnt feel that spot was a real issue by having just three QBs on the roster during camp.
But the requirements of training camp specifically, having enough arms to throw passes during drills might compel the Seahawks to bring in another quarterback if Jackson is out for a while (a proverbial camp arm.) Is that a duty the team would ask of Daniels after having asked him to move to receiver? Its possible Daniels spent time at quarterback in the spring before Jackson re-signed in June. But then again, they might be reluctant given how Daniels has performed at receiver they might view it unfair to move him away from that role now.
And remember that signing someone from the outside would mean releasing someone to make room on the 90-man roster.
Speaking to the media less than a half hour or so after the game, Carroll said it was too early say whether the team would have to add a quarterback.
I dont know, well see, Carroll said. I dont know about that yet. Well have to see how it looks tomorrow. The ankle did not swell up much, so well see what that means.
Some on social media immediately began speculation who the Seahawks might look to if they needed to bring in a quarterback. The Seahawks had former UW QB Keith Price on the roster for a month in the spring of 2014. But he has not been with an NFL team since and currently is playing for Saskatchewan in the CFL.
Matt Flynn is available. But, well, the first go-round with Flynn didnt go so well.
How Jackson recovers over the next 24-48 hours figures to tip Seattles hand.
Ameer Abdullah 2015 NFL Preseason Week 1 highlights
Jameis Winston will make his debut for the Buccaneers on Saturday. Here"s all you need to know to catch the three games.
The first week of the 2015 NFL preseason is nearly in the books, with six games on Thursday and six games on Friday. But there"s still plenty of action before it"s said and done, including three games on Saturday and a game between the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers will face the Houston Texans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will play the Minnesota Vikings and the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Arizona Cardinals. There"s plenty to pay attention to from each game, from the debut of Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston to determining what the heck the 49ers will actually look like after such a ridiculously poor offseason.
Winston will be the most interesting thing at this stage. He was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, and the Buccaneers are putting all of their eggs in his basket right off the bat. This is Winston"s team, and seeing how he looks for however long he plays will be plenty interesting.
Below, we"ve got the full schedule and something to watch for during each game (all times ET,stations via 506sports):
San Francisco 49ers at Houston Texans
(Away: KPIX-CBS 5, Home: KTRK-ABC 13) -- 8 p.m.
As noted above, the 49ers had an absolutely wretched offseason. There"s a new coaching staff; they lost Patrick Willis, Anthony Davis, Justin Smith and Chris Borland to retirement (only one of them -- Smith -- was expected to retire anytime soon). They saw Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree, Perrish c*x and Chris Culliver leave in free agency.Aldon Smith got arrested again, prompting his release from the team.
Obviously, they have a ton of stuff to prove at this stage in the offseason. New coach Jim Tomsula needs to fill holes all over the roster, including the middle and right side of the offensive line. If Colin Kaepernick is to progress and take advantage of new weapon Torrey Smith this season, they really need to get that offensive line figured out.
But hey, that"s not all that"s worth watching in this one. The Texans also have a pretty important battle on their hands at the quarterback position. Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett are battling for the starting job and neither seems to have an edge at this stage. It sounds like they"ll need more than just this one game to figure out that battle.
We"ll see how the Vikings look a day after head coach Mike Zimmer called an early end to practice due to everything seemingly going wrong. The Vikings are a young team with a lot to prove, and Zimmer will be expecting the best out of them. They did play in the Hall of Fame Game, and looked solid in a win over the Steelers, but apparently Zimmer needs to see more from the team in practice.
Whatever the case, the Vikings will be hoping to spoil the first game action of the aforementioned Winston. The Buccaneers made Winston the top pick and didn"t even set him up with a quarterback battle in training camp. Winston was immediately named the starter, and he"ll have a chance to show his stuff against the Vikings on Saturday.
On the other side of the ball, the Buccaneers need to find some kind of pass rush (and, similarly, the Vikings need to show they can handle one to keep Teddy Bridgewater clean). Don"t expect the Buccaneers to reveal any of their elaborate blitz schemes in the preseason, but they should send extra men early and often in this game.
Kansas City Chiefs at Arizona Cardinals
(Away: KCTV-CBS 5, Home: KNXV-ABC 15) -- 9 p.m.
The Cardinals have been one of the more surprising teams in the league over the past couple seasons. They"ve been dominant in one of the toughest divisions in the league, and that"s even with huge issues at the quarterback position. Carson Palmer is solid, but he"s somewhat injury-prone and the Cardinals need to concentrate on keeping him upright.
On Saturday, Palmer is expected to play at least a series, and the offensive line will need to pull out all the stops to make sure Palmer stays on his feet in the limited time he"s in action.
For the Chiefs, the biggest thing to pay attention to is that Eric Berry will be in action on Friday. Berry missed the end of the 2014 season due to cancer, but he recently returned to the team. Head coach Andy Reid has already announced that Berry will be playing. It"s a great story about a great player, so it"s definitely worth checking out. Other than that, the Chiefs are primarily looking to get out of this one without injury, as they don"t have a bunch of major position battles to figure out at this stage.
2015 NFC Wild Card 04.01 Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions
Toby SchmidtBillings, MTDo you think with some continued success that we could finally see Vaughan move into the No. 2 spot?
Bryan: Good start for Vaughan if you do see the continued success then the question does become how comfortable are you with him as your backup. In my mind I have said that I wouldnt make any decisions on the future of Dustin Vaughan until I saw him play in all the preseason games, then at that time I would make that call. My hope is that he does play well enough to be the No. 2 here.
David: After watching him play well in live action, Im at least intrigued to see what Vaughan can offer through the rest of this camp. His play against the Chargers was definitively better than anything weve seen out of him at practice. Its going to take more than that for him to unseat Brandon Weeden, but its a solid start for him to build on heading into the second game.
Nick KoonceOmaha, NEIn our preseason opener versus San Diego it appeared as though La"el Collins played very well throughout the game. There were a few plays where his technique was sloppy and he ended up on the ground. However, I felt that he held up very well in pass protection and did a great job at getting to the second level in the run game. I know that Ron Leary has played well, but with Collins" athleticism and upside, how soon can we expect to see him taking snaps with the ones?
Bryan: You are a little late to the party sir Collins has been taking snaps with the first offense as of last week and like his game last night there has been some good with the bad. He has going to have to be more consistent if he is going to take this job away from Leary.
David: I really like the words athleticism and upside to describe Collins game. You can tell that hes got the potential to become much more than what he is right now. I still think I might give the nod to Leary, because hes a more experienced and polished player, but itll be interesting to see how much the rookie can push him as camp continues. Theres no denying he looked impressive.
Covered Saints for eight years at New Orleans Times-Picayune
Previously covered LSU football, San Francisco 49ers
Iowa native and University of Iowa graduate
It took three years, but Tim Hightower was back on a NFL field Thursday night. And New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton liked what he saw from the veteran running back, who is attempting a comeback at age 29.
"I liked the look in his eye pregame, and I liked it during the game. I thought it was really good," Payton said of Hightower, who ran the ball 12 times for 31 yards and caught one pass for 10 yards.
There were a handful of negative runs mixed in. But Hightower did break loose for runs of 11, 10 and 7 yards -- plus a 13-yarder that was called back via holding.
More than anything, he was just happy to be back to work -- as he hinted when he responded to Paytons quote via Twitter:
When you"ve got something on your mind bigger than yourself.... Thanks coach https://t.co/Kr2CnyFHvb
Tim Hightower (@Tim_Hightower) August 14, 2015
"It felt awesome," said Hightower, whose promising career that began with the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Redskins was waylaid by a torn ACL in 2011 and a lingering infection that wasnt identified by doctors for years.
"A lot of work has gone into getting back and just having the opportunity to do this again, to play the game I love, and to be able to do it in a game situation. Its a true blessing. It meant a lot to be out there," Hightower said. "I just wanted to come in here and put a good first foot forward. Im sure therell be a lot of critiquing, a lot of things I can improve on. Mainly Im just thankful for that first good step."
Hightower still remains firmly on the roster "bubble," though, because of New Orleans depth at running back, led by Mark Ingram, C.J. Spiller and Khiry Robinson.
Robinson had an outstanding performance with the second-string offense Thursday night, highlighted by a 21-yard touchdown reception and a 29-yard run.
But even if the Saints dont decide to keep Hightower as a fourth running back, there are plenty of other teams that dont have the same kind of depth -- especially once injuries creep up. And for the first time in three years, Hightower is getting a chance to show all of them what he can do again.

Ruby Rose’s Water Jetboard Wild Ride - CONAN on TBS
If you"re like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don"t worry; we"ve got you covered. Here"s the best of what happened last night on late night.
Look, being Superman isn"t easy. Between the pressure to have a six pack and the pressure to, like, save lives all day, Henry Cavill has it rough. His dietary restrictions are intense to say the least, and he discussed them with fan-boy Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show," who literally uttered the phrase "your arm is the size of my leg."
Reba McEntire also showed up on "The Tonight Show," and decided to "close up serenade" an audience member. It was weird, but also amazing.
Rita Ora swung by "Late Night" to chat about playing a crack addict in "Southpaw," and discussed the awkward time she got to set and everyone assumed she"d already been in hair and makeup for her "crack addict look." Well, that"s enough to traumatize someone.
Connie Britton also hit up "Late Night" and reacted to Amy Schumer"s "Friday Night Lights" skit. Turns out Coach"s wife and her glass of wine was Britton"s idea, which is the best news ever.
Finally, Ruby Rose stopped by "Conan" and wasted no time discussing the fact that she looks just like Justin Bieber. And also, she told Conan he looks like Tilda Swinton and Meryl Streep. Er, that"s a compliment, right?

Donna Vekic might not be a household name for sport fans - but she is the woman caught up in tennis" most intriguing love triangle right now.

Kyrgios, the 20-year-old who has been catching the media"s eye for all the wrong reasons, insisted that Vekic has been getting up to mischief - and told Wawrinka at the middle of a match.
After Wawrinka "got a bit lippy", Kyrigos made the remarkable comment: Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that mate.
Kokkinakis being Kyrgios" Australian Davis Cup teammate, Thanasi. Kyrgios has since been fined.

The "next Maria Sharapova"
Focus: Vekic is a fast-rising star in the sport
Ah, the label of doom. That is exactly what Vekic has got at the moment, with some tennis commentators singing her praises.
It is believed that Vekic has the ability to follow in the footsteps of former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova - a claim first made back when she won the Croatian national junior championships in 2011.
In interviews she has given, she has revealed that she understands the comparisons but wants to make a name for herself.
She has played on the WTA Tour since the age of 16 in 2012.
Relationship with Wawrinka
Supporter: Vekic watches on during a Wawrinka match
Vekic has reportedly been in a relationship with Wawrinka since April, around the time that the Swiss pro split from his wife Ilham Vuilloud, with whom he spent 10 years.
However, Vekic and Wawrinka have never publicly declared that they are dating.
History with Kokkinakis
Spotlight: Thanasi Kokkinakis has been thrust into the spotlight
Vekic has been friends with Kokkinakis for at least two years - and the pair have taken to the court together in the past.
The Kokk (as he calls himself on Instagram) paired with Vekic during the 2014 Australian Open mixed doubles competition.
Tennis supporters have questioned whether the pair have been dating in the past - with accusations coming as early as April 2013.
That comes as the pair have enjoyed Twitter conversations with each other in years gone by.
