Cook later posted on X: “Last night I married the girl of my dreams here in Hawaii. The greatest feeling in the world is knowing you’ve got the strongest person you could ever imagine by your side and giving them all of your love in return. The years of laughs, adventures and accomplishments we’ve shared were solidified in front of some of our dearest friends and family during an emotional ceremony. I can’t wait to share more but for now just know this.. I’ve never felt this way. It’s so wonderful.”

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner come to temporary agreement on custody of children

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have come to an agreement on the custody of their daughters in light of their recent breakup. Turner sued Jonas last week, alleging that Jonas was withholding their daughters passports despite her wishes to return to the UK with the children. According to Page Six, an interim consent order was signed by the former couple on Monday morning (September 25th) which bars either of them from removing their kids from New York. Jonas and Turner are scheduled to appear for a pretrial conference on October 3rd.

Turner claimed in her lawsuit that the “wrongful retention” of their two daughters began on September 20th and that she and Jonas had agreed over Christmas 2022 that the UK would be the “forever home” for the children. Turner also alleged that she found out about their divorce “through the media,” following an argument on Jonas’ birthday.  In response, Jonas issues a statement via his rep calling the lawsuit misleading:  “After multiple conversations with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. Sophie was aware that Joe was going to file for divorce. Joe and Sophie had a cordial meeting this past Sunday in New York, when Sophie came to New York to be with the kid. They have been with her since that meeting. Joe’s impression of the meeting was that they had reached an understanding that they would work together towards an amicable co-parenting setup.”

The singer also alluded to the ongoing divorce battle at a Jonas Brothers show over the weekend when he gave a shout-out to parents.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr left Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a shoulder injury.

Footage from the game shows the moment when the incident occurred; Packers defensive lineman Rashaan Gary threw Carr down onto his right shoulder. As seen here, Carr remained on the ground in pain for several moments. Carr was eventually able to walk off the field and immediately went into the injury tent; minutes later he walked to the locker room, where he was X-rayed on his throwing shoulder. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Carr was taken to a local hospital to have tests in addition to the X-rays he got at the stadium. Doctors will reportedly check for a number of things, including internal injuries.

The Saints initially announced that Carr was being evaluated for a shoulder injury before ruling him out in the fourth quarter; New Orleans led 17-0 when Carr left the game. Jameis Winston replaced Carr at quarterback for the Saints, his first game action for Winston this season. He started three games last season for the Saints, with Winston throwing four touchdown passes and five interceptions.

Carr completed 13 of 18 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game, while Winston finished with 101 yards on 10-of-16 passing. The Saints went on to lose to the Packers with a score of 18-17.

shutterstock_127446110900374

Blink-182 announced their new album ‘One More Time…’, will drop October 20 via Columbia. Blink’s current lineup of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker also dropped an album trailer previewing new music, revealing that ‘One More Time…’ is about the unique circumstances the band members went through prior to their reunion. Travis Barker says in the trailer: “On the album, ‘One More Time’ is written about ‘why does it take these catastrophes like me being in a plane crash or Mark being sick for our band to get back together,’ while Tom DeLonge added: “Coming out with these words, ‘One More Time,’ it’s like, ‘Hey, this is the last time we’re going to f**k this up.”

The band have also shared two new songs from One More Time– the title track, which comes with a music video that recreates scenes from the trio’s classic ’90s/2000s videos (watch HERE); and the acoustic ballad “More Than You Know” (listen HERE). Both songs were produced by Barker.

One More Time…., produced by Barker, follows Blink-182’s two albums with guitarist Matt Skiba — 2016’s California and 2019’s Nine. One More Time…. will be Hoppus, DeLonge, and Barker’s first new album together since 2011.  To preorder One More Time…, head here.
