As far as televised national anthems are concerned, we’ve certainly seen a wide range of performances over the past few decades, haven’t we? From Whitney Houston’s triumphant rendition at the 1991 Super Bowl to Roseanne Barr’s bastardization of the gift of sound at a 1990 Padres game, it’s easy to feel like we’ve heard it all at this point.
But every once in a while, if we’re lucky, a performance comes along that catches us by surprise, sweeps us off our feet and and restores our sense of wonder — a rendition so bold, so unexpected,...

Alysson Felix won her 11th Olympic medal today as part of the US women’s 4×400 relay team. That surpasses the previous record held by track legend Carl Lewis, making Felix the all-time leader in Olympic track and field medals.
The US women’s 4×400 meter relay team blew out its closest competition, Poland, by more than three and a half seconds.
“For me, I just came out really at peace and wanting to soak it all in,” Felix said. “I think this is a really special team because we’re not 400-meter runners — I don’t consider myself a 400-meter specialist. We all do different things, and it was really cool to come together to get to close out the Olympic Games and for me, my Olympic career in this way.”

“The Masked Singer” moved on from its first crop of Season 3 contestants with its Wednesday episode, which introduced viewers to six more of the third season’s 18 competitors: Banana, Elephant, Kitty, Taco, Mouse and Frog.
Those masked singers are part of Group B, a lineup that will compete over the next two weeks until it’s been whittled down to three contestants — just as Group A was condensed to White Tiger, Turtle and Kangaroo over Season 3’s first three episodes — who will then move on to the finals. And the same will then happen with Group C.
Well, we already know at least one contestant who won’t be moving on: Elephant, who was the first Group B contestant eliminated and revealed to be skateboard legend Tony Hawk on last night’s episode. (You can read TheWrap’s interview...

That’s a wipe out for Tony Hawk. The skateboarding legend became the first celebrity in “Group B” to be unmasked on Season 3 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired on Wednesday night.
Hawk, who was disguised as the Elephant, performed The Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love,” and the judges said he shredded. But it wasn’t enough to survive elimination.
“Coming from a non-singing background, I’ll give myself a ‘B,'” Hawk told Variety. “I think that I felt like I was in tune for the most part, and I remembered the lyrics, which is a frightening prospect. It’s very easy to mix up verses. I went with it the way I sing it in the car.”

Becoming a movie star has given single British comedian Russell Brand's sex life a huge boost.
Since shooting to international fame in new movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Brand has been inundated with offers from admiring females.
Brand - who counts Kate Moss and Kimberly Stewart among his exes - says, "The best thing about (being a celebrity) is that you meet a lot of people very quickly and have a lot of orgasms. But promiscuity is beneficial in some respects because you recognise that everyone is beautiful and it's good to have sexual encounters."
And Brand is convinced people shouldn't criticise him for his active sex life - as his bedrooms skills are his number one talent.
He says, "Some people say, 'Oh, do you only want to have sex?' What do you mean only?
"I'm bloody good at it and it's better than talking. I'm better at sex than talking so that is one of the best things you can do with me.
"You wouldn't say to (Olympic sprinter) Carl Lewis, 'What? Are we only going to do running?' The best thing is the thing he's best at."...
