Soccer

Luis Rubiales, former Spanish soccer president, was banned by FIFA from all national and international soccer activities for three years after kissing Jenni Hermoso following Spain's World Cup win in August.

46-year-old Rubiales was initially benched for 90 days while the international soccer body investigated the situation ... until Monday when their findings were finally made public.

"The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has banned Luis Rubiales, the former president of the Spanish Football Association (RFEF), from all football-related activities at national and international levels for three years, having found that he acted in breach of article 13 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code."

The rule essentially says anyone associated with a team, in Rubiales' case, the president, must behave in a way consistent with "decent conduct," including "behaving in a way that brings the sport of football and/or FIFA into disrepute."

Of course, Rubiales kissed Hermoso, without her consent. He was also seen grabbing his crotch, as well as throwing another player over his shoulder.

Luis, per FIFA guidelines, now has ten days to appeal the decision, and that's exactly what it sounds like he will do.

Rubiales fired off a message on X in Spanish (which has been translated), writing ... "I will go to the last resort so that justice is done and the truth shines 💪 Due to the many efforts of some politicians, media and institutions, the disproportion and injustice committed is becoming increasingly clear"

Despite insisting he had no ill intent and initially refusing to step down from his post, Rubiales finally resigned in mid-September.

The numbers don't lie, men want their SKIMS, and it was proven on launch day ... raking in millions of dollars per minute for Kim Kardashian's latest venture.

The SKIMS MENS line -- featuring underwear and basics -- dropped Thursday with a flurry of support. Sources with direct knowledge tell us it was the biggest day of sales for SKIMS since the day the brand launched.

What's more, we're told the MENS drop broke SKIMS website traffic records, pulling in 25,000 orders within the first 5 minutes of open, translating to millions of dollars in sales in minutes.

The launch numbers are insane ... but remember, the campaign to announce the line also got a TON of attention thanks to steamy and shirtless pics from Nick Bosa, Neymar and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

As we reported ... Nick Bosa started to trend on Twitter immediately after the photos dropped -- hitting #5 overall -- and SKIMS also trended at the #2 spot.

Kim's got the golden touch.

Los números no mienten, los hombres quieren sus SKIMS, y quedó claro el día del lanzamiento recaudando millones de dólares por minuto para la última aventura de Kim Kardashian.

La línea SKIMS MENS, con ropa interior y un estilo sencillo, se lanzó el jueves con una oleada de apoyo. Fuentes directas nos dicen que fue el mayor día de ventas para SKIMS desde el día del lanzamiento de la marca.

Es más, nos dicen que miles de hombres entraron al sitio web, realizando al rededor de 25.000 pedidos en los primeros cinco minutos de apertura, lo que se traduce en millones de dólares en ventas en cuestión de minutos.

Los números del lanzamiento son una locura, pero recuerde, la campaña para anunciar la línea también tiene un montón de atención gracias a las fotos hot y sin camisa de Nick Bosa, Neymar y Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Como hemos informado, Nick Bosa comenzó a ser tendencia en Tuiter inmediatamente después de que las fotos aparecieron, alcanzando el # 16 en general y SKIMS también fue tendencia en el # 9.

It seems Ali Krieger is doin' just fine after her highly publicized split with Ashyln Harris ... 'cause the soccer star was spotted smiling ear to ear at the Knicks game Wednesday.

The Gotham FC defender was sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden to watch NY's season opener against the Celtics ... and despite everything that's going on with her, Harris, and Harris' new lover, Sophia Bush, Krieger appeared to be happy as a clam.

She had seats next to celeb makeup artist Alexandria Gilleo, and at one point, the ladies filmed themselves having an absolute blast.

Of course, things were obviously not always this way for Krieger ... especially in the last few weeks.

As we reported, Krieger was hit with divorce papers from Harris last month ... before Harris quickly jumped into a relationship with Bush.

Krieger looked to be quite bitter over it all, using a Beyoncé "Lemonade" Instagram post to imply that she had been cheated on.

The 39-year-old, though, is showing signs of moving on -- with her mind clearly now more focused on rubbin' elbows with Whoopi Goldberg than on Harris' new 'ship.

Several other stars, meanwhile, were out courtside for the game as well ... Chris Rock and Michael J. Fox sat just feet away from Krieger at MSG.

Carmelo Anthony and his son, high school hoops star, Kiyan, made an appearance too ... as did Latrell Sprewell, who played for New York from 1999 to 2003.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Yankees star Aaron Judge, Fat Joe, Lindsey Vonn and Skylar Astin also showed up for the big rivalry game.

La presencia escénica de Shakira claramente no se le pegó a Gerard Piqué durante su relación. La estrella del fútbol tuvo una fea caída de una plataforma el martes por la noche y los fans de la cantante lo están llamando karma.

El retirado defensa español estaba terminando un evento para su nueva organización 7-on-7, Kings League Américas, cuando empezó a caminar hacia el lado del escenario para interactuar con sus seguidores.

Parece que no estaba demasiado centrado y directamente se precipitó a la derecha en un agujero.

La multitud por encima del escenario rápidamente se asomó por la barandilla para ver si la ex estrella del Barcelona estaba bien. Según los informes, salió ileso.

El incidente fue rápidamente compartido en redes sociales y los fans de Shakira comenzaron a disparar mensajes sobre como todo el asunto era una venganza por su separación el año pasado.

"No le faltes el respeto a la reina del escenario y luego esperes que el escenario te respete", dijo un usuario de X, mientras que otro agregó: "Las cosas no han estado funcionando para él desde que Shakira sacó sus caderas de allí".

Por supuesto, Shakira fue con todo contra su ex después de que él hiciera pública su relación con Clara Chia Marti siete meses después de su ruptura, incluso dejando caer una canción de disidencia con la famosa línea, "Cambiaste un Ferrari por un Twingo".

Shakira's stage presence clearly didn't rub off on Gerard Piqué during their relationship ... 'cause the soccer star took a nasty fall off a platform Tuesday night -- and the singer's fans are dubbing it payback.

The retired Spanish defender was finishing up an event for his new 7-on-7 organization, Kings League Américas ... when he started walking toward the side of the stage to interact with his supporters.

Unfortunately for GP, it appears he wasn't too focused on where he was going ... and the dude straight-up plunged right into a hole.

The crowd above the stage quickly peeked over the railing to check and see if the former Barcelona star was okay ... and according to reports, he was able to escape uninjured.

The incident was quickly shared on social media ... and Shakira's fans started firing off posts about how the whole thing was revenge for his nasty split from the Grammy winner last year.

"Don't disrespect the stage queen and then expect the stage to respect you," one X user said ... while another added, "Things haven't been working out for him since Shakira got her hips outta there."

Of course, Shakira went scorched-earth on her ex after he went public with Clara Chia Marti seven months after their breakup ... even dropping a diss song featuring the famous line, "You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo."

Hollywood will have you seeing double when it comes to their Halloween costumes, but don't lose your focus when it comes to these festive photos ... take in these costume treats and vote for who'd you, rather?!

Zombie brides have always been a go-to costume choice, and Lele Pons and Kim Loaiza have never looked better in white, but which one would you rather walk down the aisle with?

Paris Hilton has hit the streets every year during spooky season and has spun up "Alice And Wonderland", Sexy Furby, and Burlesque Bunny, but which one has you saying, "That's Hot!?"

La compañía de Kim Kardashian shapewear está lanzando una línea para hombres, y la mujer de negocios trajo a uno de los atletas más famosos e influyentes en el mundo para promover la marca... Neymar Jr.

La compañía multimillonaria de Kardashian está entrando en la moda masculina, y Kim quería a un atleta de alto nivel para promover Skims Mens y consiguió a la estrella brasilera de fútbol internacional de 31 años de edad que actualmente juega para Al Hilal en Arabia Saudita.

Además de Neymar, Skims también fichó para la campaña a la estrella de los 49ers Nick Bosa y a la estrella de los OKC Thunder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

"Tener a un icono como Neymar Jr como imagen de nuestra campaña de lanzamiento, junto con el All-Star de la NBA, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander y el mejor jugador defensivo de la NFL, Nick Bosa, creo que dice mucho de la forma en que SKIMS ha evolucionado para convertirse en una marca que puede proporcionar comodidad a todos los públicos, no solo a las mujeres", dijo Kardashian sobre el fichaje de los tres deportistas de élite.

Kim Kardashian's shapewear company is launching a men's line, and KK brought on one of the most famous and influential athletes in the world to promote the brand ... Neymar Jr.!

Kardashian's multi-billion-dollar company is getting into menswear, and Kim wanted a top athlete to promote Skims Mens ... enter the 31-year-old international soccer star from Brazil, who currently plays for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

In addition to Neymar, Skims also signed 49ers star Nick Bosa and OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the campaign.

"To have an icon like Neymar Jr be the face of our launch campaign, along with NBA All-Star, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and NFL’s top Defensive Player Nick Bosa, I think speaks volumes to the way SKIMS has evolved into becoming a brand that can provide comfort for all audiences, not just for women," Kardashian said of signing the three top athletes.

Bueno, aunque no salió a decirlo completamente, Ali Krieger acaba de darnos una pista muy grande de que su esposa, Ashlyn Harris, la engañó con la actriz Sophia Bush.

La estrella del Gotham FC acaba de usar su Instagram para compartir una serie de fotos de ella jugando fútbol con el mensaje: "Preparándome para los playoffs, mientras estoy en mi Lemonade era de Beyoncé".

Por si ustedes no sabían,  el álbum "Lemonade" de Beyoncé narra la relación de la cantante con su marido Jay-Z después de que ella descubriera que él la engañó. Así que parece que Ali es la Beyoncé de la situación, acusando a Ashlyn de ser el Jay-Z.

Lo que es más, el hermano de Ali, Kyle Krieger, comentó el post con letras de la canción "Don't Hurt Yourself" de "Lemonade", diciendo: "Esta es tu última advertencia, sabes que te doy la vida. Si intentas esto otra vez, perderás a tu mujer". Kyle también escribió: "¡Te quiero y estoy muy orgulloso de ti! ¡Estas putas no son leales! Pero tus fans y yo sí".

Como hemos informado, Sophia y Ali fueron vistos posando juntas, riendo y siendo extra coquetas meses antes de que cualquiera de las dos pidiera el divorcio.

Los dos participaron en un panel en Cannes en junio, donde Sophia fue vista agarrando el brazo de Ashlyn, y Ashlyn más tarde envolviendo el suyo alrededor de la actriz en una foto.

Welp, she didn't come out and fully say it ... but Ali Krieger just gave about as strong an indication as any her wife, Ashlyn Harris, cheated on her with actress Sophia Bush.

The Gotham FC star just took to Instagram, posting a series of shots of herself playing soccer with the caption, "Preparing for playoffs while in my Beyoncé lemonade era."

If you didn't know ... Beyoncé's "Lemonade" album chronicles the singer's relationship with her husband, Jay-Z, after she discovered he cheated on her. So ya, it appears Ali is the Beyoncé of the situation ... accusing Ashlyn of being the Jay-Z.

What's more, Ali's brother, Kyle Krieger, commented on the post with Beyoncé lyrics from the song "Don't Hurt Yourself" off "Lemonade" ... writing, "This is your final warning, you know I give you life. If you try this s*** again, you gone lose your wife." Kyle also wrote, "Love you and so proud of you!! These hoes ain’t loyal!! But me and your fans are!"

As we reported ... Sophia and Ali were spotted posing for pics, laughing and being extra flirty months before either filed for divorce.

The two participated on a panel in Cannes back in June, where Sophia was seen grabbing Ashlyn's arm, and Ashlyn later wrapped her arm around the actress in a photo.

Sophia didn't file for divorce from her husband, Grant Hughes, until August ... and Ashlyn only filed for divorce from Ali last month. Ashlyn and Ali have two small kids together. Ali posted a pic of herself with the kiddos ... so she hasn't missed a beat in the mom department.

Sophia Bush is in a new relationship, but she's in no rush to talk about it ... staying quiet about things with recently divorced USWNT star Ashlyn Harris.

Sophia touched down at LAX Wednesday, just one day after news broke she and Harris were a new item. Sophia wasn't in the mood to talk -- avoiding answering about how she and Ashlyn met or what it's been like to get support from her estranged husband, Grant Hughes.

As we reported, Grant's been nothing but supportive of Sophia's new relationship -- just two months after Sophia filed for divorce.

In a statement to TMZ, a rep for Grant tells us, "Grant will always want the best for Sophia, and is supportive of all that makes her happy and fulfilled."

Sophia's not the only one who recently got divorced, Ashlyn and her wife Ali Krieger filed for divorce just last month after 4 years together ... they've got two young kids together.

Sophia Bush está en una nueva relación, pero no tiene ningún apuro para hablar de ello, ya que ha mantenido en silencio respecto a las cosas entre ella y la estrella de la selección de fútbol de Estados Unidos, Ashlyn Harris, quien se divorció recientemente.

Sophia aterrizó en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles el miércoles, justo un día después de la noticia de que ella y Harris estaban saliendo. Sophia no estaba de humor para hablar, evitando responder acerca de cómo se conocieron con Ashlyn o lo que ha significado recibir el apoyo de su marido separado, Grant Hughes.

Como informamos, Grant no ha hecho nada más que apoyar la nueva relación de Sophia, solo dos meses después de que ella solicitara el divorcio.

En una declaración a TMZ, un representante de Grant nos dijo: "Grant siempre querrá lo mejor para Sophia y apoya todo lo que la haga sentirse feliz y realizada."

Sophia no es la única que se ha divorciado recientemente, Ashlyn y su esposa Ali Krieger solicitaron el divorcio apenas el mes pasado después de 4 años juntas. Tienen además dos niños pequeños juntos.

Sophia Bush's ex-husband is opening up about her finding a new love, and sounds like he's still very much in her corner after it was revealed the "One Tree Hill" actress is dating U.S. Women's soccer star Ashlyn Harris.

A rep for Sophia's ex, Grant Hughes, tells TMZ ... "Grant will always want the best for Sophia, and is supportive of all that makes her happy and fulfilled."

As we reported, sources connected to Sophia and Ashlyn told us they recently became official, but the timing's a bit odd -- it comes not long after they both filed to divorce their exes.

Ashlyn filed docs less than a month ago to end her marriage to fellow USWNT star Ali Krieger after 4 years together, and Sophia filed in August to divorce Grant ... they'd been married for a little over a year.

Sophia Bush just filed for divorce from her husband, but she's already dating someone new ... recently divorced U.S. Women's National Team soccer stud Ashlyn Harris.

Sources connected to the pair tell us the "One Tree Hill" actress and Ashlyn are officially a thing. The timing seems sudden, considering Harris only filed divorce docs from her wife and fellow USWNT star Ali Krieger less than a month ago.

Sophia's going through a divorce as well ... in August, she filed docs to end things with her husband Grant Hughes after 13 months of marriage.

While Sophia and Grant did NOT have kids together ... Ashlyn and Ali adopted a boy and a girl during their 4-year marriage ... so it will be interesting to see how Sophia and Ashlyn navigate the family dynamic.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are taking their on-field chemistry to a completely new sport -- the Kansas City Chiefs superstars are teaming up as investors in the Alpine Formula One team ... part of a massive, $210 million investment!!

Otro Capital announced a star-studded list of sports superstars that are joining its partnership with Alpine on Tuesday ... which includes the pair of two-time Super Bowl winners, golfer Rory McIlroy, boxer Anthony Joshua and soccer players Trent Alexander-Arnold and Juan Mata.

Otro said it hopes the addition of popular athletes from all different parts of the sports world will bring new fans to Alpine ... and help in areas like media, tickets and merch.

Mahomes spoke about the business move ... saying, "I've always had a passion for all sports. The opportunity to lead an investor group with Travis in Alpine F1 alongside Otro Capital was one I couldn’t pass up."

"It's an exciting time for the sport and this is an opportunity to bring our shared values to the world stage. I’m looking forward to being a part of its growth."

Kelce added ... "I am thrilled to lead an investor group and join forces with Patrick and the team at Otro Capital on this exciting venture with Alpine F1. Our shared passion for excellence and innovation forms the cornerstone of this partnership."

"It’s about being able to contribute to a sport that demands precision, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of success. I am looking forward to this new chapter and can’t wait to see what we achieve together."

Alpine -- which also has financial backing from actors Ryan Reynolds, Michael B. Jordan and Rob McElhenney through Maximum Effort Investments -- is currently sixth in the constructor standings thanks to drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly ... so it'll be interesting to see if the Chiefs duo's success can rub off on them.
