During a recent interview with Vulture, Jennifer Love Hewitt said she hasn’t spoken to her “I Know What You Did Last Summer” co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar since the slasher debuted in 1997.
Despite the lack of communication, Hewitt maintains there is no beef between them.
“I honestly don’t even know what that was or how that all came to be,” Hewitt said of her rumored feud with Gellar. “I just think people don’t want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other?”
She continued, “I haven’t seen Sarah. Literally, we’ve not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That’s why it’s so funny to me. People were like, ‘Say something back’ And I’m like, ‘What am I going to say? I’ve not seen her.’ On my side, we’re good. I have no idea where this is coming from.”
Hewitt and Gellar reprised their “I Know What You Did Last Summer” roles for the 2025 reboot, which released on Friday. Hewitt returned as Julie James to mentor a new batch of youngsters who are being hunted by the hook-wielding fisherman.
Gellar’s Helen Shivers famously dies in the original, but returns for the reboot in a dream sequence to warn Southport’s new it-girl, Danica Richards (Madelyn Cline), that danger is coming her way. Freddie Prinze Jr. also reprises his role of Ray Bronson for the new film.
Other cast members include Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon and Billy Campbell.

USA Today reported that nine MLB teams attended a workout by Robertson in Providence, Rhode Island, on Saturday.
A standout at Paul Bryant High School in Cottondale and Alabama before reaching the Major Leagues in 2008, Robertson joins the Phillies with Philadelphia holding a one-half game lead on the New York Mets at the top of the NL East standings with 63 games remaining on its regular-season schedule.
The Phillies’ bullpen ERA is 4.33, the eighth-worst in the Major Leagues, and Philadelphia doesn’t have a pitcher with more than eight saves this season, although eight pitchers have at least one save in 2025.
Last season, Robertson made 68 appearances out of the Texas Rangers’ bullpen. He posted a 3-4 record with a 3.00 earned-run average and two saves. In 72 innings, the right-hander yielded 53 hits and 27 walks and struck out 99.
Robertson had been a free agent since Nov. 4.
In his MLB career, Robertson has posted a 66-46 record with a 2.91 ERA and 177 saves in 861 games. He ranks 39th in games pitched and 72nd in saves in baseball history. In 876.2 innings, Robertson has yielded 656 hits and 357 walks and struck out 1,154 batters.
Only two pitchers in MLB history have struck out more batters in fewer innings than Robertson – former Lee-Huntsville and Wallace State standout Craig Kimbrel and current Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman.
Robertson’s 42 postseason games are the 10th most for any Major League pitcher, and in the history of the American and National leagues, Robertson and Lefty Gomez are the only pitchers to have at least six wins and no losses, with both at 6-0, in the postseason.
Robertson pitched for the New York Yankees when they won the 2009 World Series and for the Phillies when they lost the 2022 World Series.

The step-grandson of Duane Chapman, better known as “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” is dead after an accidental shooting, the reality star’s family confirmed.
TMZ reported Gregory Zecca allegedly shot and killed his son, Anthony, 13. Gregory Zecca is the son and Anthony is the grandson of Chapman’s wife, Francie. The incident occurred Saturday night at an apartment in Naples, Florida.
“We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony,” Chapman and his wife, Francie Chapman told TMZ.
People reported that law enforcement received a call about 8 p.m. local time Saturday night. They described the shooting as an “isolated incident,” and no arrests were made. Zecca reportedly works Policewith Chapman in his bounty hunting business.
Police have not confirmed the shooting involved members of Chapman’s family.
Zecca is Francie Chapman’s son from her previous marriage. She and Duane Chapman married in 2021 after the death of his wife, Beth, at age 51.
Duane Chapman rose to national prominence after his 2024 “Dog the Bounty Hunter” show became a reality TV hit. The show later ran for eight seasons and Chapman went on to star in a variety of spin-off shows, including “Dog and Beth: Fight of Their Lives,” recounting Beth Chapman’s battle with throat cancer.

But McCarron isn’t through with football. It’s just a matter of what form his future with football will take.
“I don’t know,” McCarron said when asked if he had played his final game. “I know I can still play. I’m training kids. I’m training Bubba Thompson at South (Alabama), Tate Graham at Baker (High School), and some younger kids in the off time. They make the old man pull out his cleats every once in a while to show my skills in some drills, and I spin the ball and it comes out and I’m like, ‘I still got it.’
“But I don’t know. I’m enjoying this time, being with my kids. I don’t ever want to say never, but we’ll see what happens. I’m just enjoying being a dad right now.”
McCarron has returned from a long layoff previously. The former Alabama All-American sustained a knee injury on Aug. 21, 2021, as the Atlanta Falcons’ starting QB in an NFL preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.
The injury put McCarron on injured reserve for the entire 2021 season, and he didn’t play again until Feb. 19, 2023, when he returned with St. Louis in the XFL. McCarron followed that with an NFL season with the Cincinnati Bengals and another campaign with the Battlehawks.
While McCarron hasn’t been playing football over the past year, he has been talking about it in a variety of media settings and most regularly on “The Dynasty: A Podcast on the Alabama Crimson Tide.” McCarron, former Alabama All-American running back Trent Richardson and Crimson Tide announcer Chris Stewart provide the personalities for the podcast.
“It’s been awesome,” McCarron said. “We’ve made some headlines here recently, but it’s all entertainment. Sinclair (Broadcast Group)’s been awesome to be a part of. They have a great track record in TV itself and then now with the podcast world, so starting ‘The Triple Option’ and then us, and I know they have some other ones. But being blessed to be a part of the first college one they came out with for Alabama called ‘The Dynasty,’ so I’m excited. It’s been awesome to be a part of with Chris Stewart, the voice of Alabama football, and Trent Richardson, who was a legend at Alabama and a teammate of mine. We’re just excited.
“Kind of ready for the season to get started so we can have more to talk about, but it’s been awesome to be a part of so far.”
McCarron is sharing the expertise and experience gathered through a championship career with Alabama, nine seasons in the NFL and two more in spring football.
An All-State football and baseball player at St. Paul’s Episcopal School in Mobile, McCarron was a member of three Alabama teams that won the BCS national championship. He served as the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback for the title teams for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. McCarron won the Maxwell Award as the outstanding college player of the 2013 season, when he also was the runner-up in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy.
That resume could get McCarron into the College Football Hall of Fame.
To be considered for the College Football Hall of Fame today, a player must have been a first-team All-American selection by one of the organizations the NCAA uses to compile its annual consensus All-American team. Players aren’t considered for the College Football Hall of Fame until 10 years after their final college season. They also aren’t considered while they are active professional players.
If McCarron has completed his pro career, then he is eligible for consideration. The American Football Coaches Association and Walter Camp Football Foundation chose him as a first-team All-American in 2013.
Maxwell Award winners have a good record of earning enshrinement.
Of the 63 winners of the Maxwell Award in the 20th century, 61 are in the College Football Hall of Fame. The record is spottier for the 21st century winners, not surprising given the backlog of candidates for the College Football Hall of Fame, the prohibition against pros and the required 10-season wait. But three of the nine eligible for consideration have made it so far – Vince Young, Tim Tebow and Andrew Luck.
Players on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot are nominated by athletic directors, head coaches and sports-information directors at National Football Foundation-member schools.
The NCAA FBS nominees are sorted geographically for eight District Screening Committees. The committee members vote on which players will represent their region on the ballot. Players who received significant support in the final voting in the previous year but did not make the College Football Hall of Fame are held over on the ballot automatically.
More than 12,000 National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame voters receive the ballot. The voting is considered by the NFF’s Honors Court, which makes the annual selection of the Hall of Fame class.
“I don’t even know the rules behind it or how long you have to be out or when you can be on the ballot,” McCarron said about the College Football Hall of Fame. “… It would be a great honor. It’d be awesome to achieve that and have my kids there. That’s something that makes you proud as a dad. Hopefully, one day. It’d be sweet.”

Dear Eric: I play cards weekly with a group. One of the women sometimes chews gum during our games, noisily and with her mouth open. This is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Why do otherwise well-mannered people think open-mouth chewing is socially acceptable? What do you suggest, do I say something to her?
– Quiet Please
Dear Quiet Please: Absolutely. She may not realize she’s doing it. So, by telling her that the noisiness bothers you, you give her the opportunity to make a change. Many people don’t like noisy chewing. Some people have misophonia, a disorder of decreased tolerance to specific sounds; others simply can’t stand the sound. The card game is a weekly shared social space, so ask for what you need to continue to enjoy the time.

A man was shot to death Sunday afternoon while he was sitting inside an SUV in north Birmingham.
Just after 2:30 p.m., North Precinct officers received a call of a person shot in the 900 block of Center Street North.
Police arrived to find a gray SUV in the 10 block of 9th Avenue West, which is walking distance from the original location, Officer Truman Fitzgerald said. The location was near the entrance of a small apartment building.
The victim was unresponsive in the driver’s seat. Birmingham firefighters attempted life-saving measures on the scene and then rushed him to UAB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Fitzgerald said it appears a man on foot approached the SUV and opened fire. He then fled.
Detectives working with the Real Time Crime Center search for clues in the area.
“This happened in broad daylight on a Sunday and we’re urging the public if you saw anything to please contact Crime Stoppers,” Fitzgerald said.
The victim is Birmingham’s 43rd homicide this year. In all of Jefferson County, there have been 67 homicides, including the 43 in Birmingham.
Anyone with information is asked to call 205-254-1764 or contact Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.

The National Weather Service issued an updated report at 3:04 p.m. on Sunday for strong thunderstorms until 3:45 p.m. for Lauderdale and Colbert counties.
Residents can look for wind gusts of up to 40 mph.
“At 3:04 p.m., Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm near Underwood-Petersville, or 7 miles northwest of Florence, moving east at 15 mph,” according to the weather service. “Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects.”
Locations impacted by the alert include Florence, Muscle Shoals, Killen, St. Florian, Underwood-Petersville, Green Hill, Threet, Zip City, Ford City and Oakland.
The weather service comments, “If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm and may lead to localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.”
Preparing for impending lightning strikes: Expert safety recommendations
Lightning strikes the United States approximately 25 million times each year, with the bulk of these electrical discharges occurring during the summer months. Tragically, lightning claims the lives of about 20 individuals annually, as reported by the weather service. The risk of lightning-related incidents escalates as thunderstorms draw near, reaching its peak when the storm directly looms overhead. However, it gradually recedes as the tempest moves away.
To protect yourself during a thunderstorm, take these recommendations into consideration:
Lightning safety plan:
When venturing outdoors, it’s vital to establish a clear plan for seeking shelter in case of lightning.
Stay vigilant by monitoring the sky for ominous signs and listening for the telltale sound of thunder. If thunder is audible, it’s a clear indication of nearby lightning.
Seek shelter promptly in a safe location, preferably indoors.
Indoors safety measures:
Once you’re indoors, avoid using corded phones, electrical devices, plumbing fixtures, and stay away from windows and doors.
Lightning can follow conductive pathways, and these precautions reduce the risk of electrical surges.
Wait for the all-clear:
After the last lightning strike or thunderclap, wait at least 30 minutes before resuming outdoor activities.
Lightning can strike even when a storm has seemingly passed, so exercise caution.
When indoor shelter isn’t available:
If you find yourself outdoors without access to indoor shelter during a thunderstorm, take these steps to maximize your safety:
Avoid open fields, hilltops, or ridge crests, which expose you to greater lightning risk.
Steer clear of tall, isolated trees and other prominent objects. In wooded areas, stay close to lower stands of trees.
If you’re in a group, ensure that individuals are spaced out to prevent lightning current from transferring between people.
Camping in an open setting during a thunderstorm is strongly discouraged. If no alternative exists, set up camp in a valley, ravine, or other low-lying areas. Remember that a tent offers no protection against lightning.
Do not approach water bodies, wet objects, or metal items. While water and metal don’t attract lightning, they conduct electricity effectively and can pose significant risks.
In summary, when facing the threat of lightning, vigilance and preparedness are your best allies. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the chances of lightning-related accidents and prioritize your safety.
Driving through downpours: Safety guidelines for wet roads
When heavy rain strikes, safety is paramount. Equip yourself with these guidelines from the weather service to navigate wet roads and avoid hazards:
Beware of rapid water flow:
Avoid parking or walking in close proximity to culverts or drainage ditches, as the swiftly moving water during heavy rain can potentially carry you away.
Maintain safe driving distances:
Adhere to the two-second rule for maintaining a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you. In heavy rain, allow an additional two seconds of distance to compensate for reduced traction and braking effectiveness.
Reduce speed and drive cautiously:
On wet roads, slowing down is paramount. Gradually ease off the accelerator and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.
Choose your lane wisely:
Stick to the middle lanes to minimize the risk of hydroplaning. Outer lanes are more prone to accumulating water.
Prioritize visibility
Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by turning on your headlights. Watch out for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.
Watch out for slippery roads:
The initial half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mixture of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.
Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:
Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.
Mind your windshield wipers:
Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely limits your sight, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or protected spots.
When stopping by the roadside is your only option, position your vehicle as far off the road as possible, ideally beyond guardrails. Keep your headlights on and activate emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
In the face of heavy rain, these precautions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety on the road. Remember to stay informed about weather conditions and heed guidance from local authorities for a secure journey.

A weather alert was issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday at 2:23 p.m. for strong thunderstorms until 3:15 p.m. for Limestone, Madison and Morgan counties.
Residents may experience wind gusts of up to 40 mph.
“At 2:22 p.m., Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm near Decatur, moving northeast at 10 mph,” according to the weather service. “Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects.”
Locations impacted by the alert include Decatur, Athens, Hartselle, Redstone Arsenal, Priceville, Trinity, Triana, Morgan City, Huntsville International Airport and Tanner.
The weather service comments, “If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm and may lead to localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Frequent cloud to ground lightning is occurring with this storm. Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe shelter inside a building or vehicle.”

Navigating rainy roads: Safety tips for wet weather
Rain can turn roads into hazards. Stay informed and follow these tips from the weather service to ensure safety during heavy rainfall:
Beware of swollen waterways:
During heavy rain, avoid parking or walking near culverts or drainage ditches, where swift-moving water can pose a serious risk.
Maintain safe driving distances:
Adhere to the two-second rule for maintaining a safe following distance behind the vehicle in front of you. In heavy rain, allow an additional two seconds of distance to compensate for reduced traction and braking effectiveness.
Reduce speed and drive cautiously:
On wet roads, reducing your speed is crucial. Ease off the gas pedal gradually and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.
Choose your lane wisely:
Stick to the middle lanes on multi-lane roads to minimize the risk of hydroplaning, as water tends to accumulate in outer lanes.
Prioritize visibility
Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by activating your headlights. Be particularly vigilant for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.
Watch out for slippery roads:
Be extra careful during the first half hour after rain begins. Grime and oil on the road surface mix with water to make the road slippery.
Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:
Don’t follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.
Mind your windshield wipers:
Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely limits your sight, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or protected spots.
When stopping by the roadside is your only option, position your vehicle as far off the road as possible, ideally beyond guardrails. Keep your headlights on and activate emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
By following these safety measures, you can significantly reduce risks and ensure your well-being when heavy rain pours down. Stay informed about weather conditions and heed advice from local authorities to make your journey safe and sound.

Panama City Beach has announced a temporary nighttime closure for the weekend.
The area between Beach Access 25 and Beach Access 36 will be closed from 10 p.m to 5 a.m. tonight due to “recent incidents that occurred in the area,” according to the city government. The closures first began Friday.
“It’s ridiculous that we had a shooting,” Deputy Chief of Panama City Beach John Deegins told 13 ABC.“There was about 50 kids on the beach when this happened, and they’re doing Oklahoma drills, and that’s where they run at each other and tackle one another. That ended up in and argument and fight which resulted in somebody firing a gun off.”
Deegins told the news station that public safety was their number one goal.
“We want to make sure that everybody’s safe and the past few weeks, months, we’ve just seen an increase of, you know, I guess the unruly behavior of these kids. And for whatever reason, they go from, you know, a fistfight or Oklahoma drills to somebody shooting a gun.”
The city council previously set nighttime closures earlier this year during spring break, saying the decision “is supported by police data and strong support from businesses in the area.”
