World No. 1-ranked Nelly Korda

swings for her second career win at Blythefield

The 2025 LPGA season continues with players returning to Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, Michigan, from June 12-15, for the 11th annual 2025 Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give, with all rounds airing live on CBS.

After a career-defining 2024 season, 26-year-old Nelly Korda entered this year with big expectations. Last season, Korda won seven LPGA tournaments, including the Chevron Championship, her second career major title. Since that performance, Korda quickly moved up to No. 1-ranked female golfer in the world, while also earning LPGA Player of the Year honors.

Entering the 2025 campaign, Korda has faced challenging competition, having yet to win a tournament in 2025 (at press time). Despite this winless start, Korda’s managed to pull off three top 10 finishes in six starts this year, including her best finish of the season at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where she was the runner-up.

While the Florida native may not be having the kind of season she was anticipating,

Korda remains a threat on the tour with consistent performances making her a mustwatch player as the season continues. Korda leads the LPGA in scoring average (66.88) at press time, and ranks second in strokes gained total (2.40).

As the tournament unfolds, all eyes will be on Korda as she looks to win her second Meijer LPGA Classic.

Crack the case: Self-taught criminologist sees new connections

Investigators solve crimes by putting together the jigsaw puzzle of a case one piece at a time. A fresh perspective can put new pieces in the pile that make the outcome appear in a completely different way. In “Patience,” a new crime drama premiering on PBS on Sunday, June 15, that alternative point of view is exactly what the Yorkshire police are about to get.

The joint British-Belgian detective series, adapted from the original French show “Astrid et Raphaelle,” stars Ella Maisy Purvis (“A Kind of Spark”) as Patience Evans, an autistic woman who works in the city of York’s criminal records office as an archivist. Deep in records work, Patience is far from the investigative action that makes up DI Bea Metcalf’s (Laura Fraser, “Crime”) daily grind.

When Patience and Bea’s paths cross, it becomes clear to Bea that the archivist has a real gift. Not for sorting through paperwork, but for connecting the threads of serial criminals’ offenses going under the radar in York. Bea is eager to use Patience’s knack for seeing a bigger picture to solve nagging cases on her desk as much as she is motivated to push Patience to not waste her potential.

While Bea’s confidence in her abilities is inspiring, the change to routine could have consequences for Patience, as being thrust into an entirely new environment could be destabilizing for her, even though she is theoretically in her element as a sidekick to DI Metcalf. “The only things that really interest me are forensics and criminology,” Patience

in ‘Patience’

tells Bea over lunch in an official trailer for the upcoming series.

Also starring in “Patience” are Nathan Welsh (“Trying”) as DS Jake Hunter; Mark Benton (“Smoggie Queens”) as Calvin Baxter; Ali Ariaie (“The Great”) as DC Will Akbari; Tom Lewis (“Gentleman Jack”) as Elliot Scott; Liza Sadovy (“A Small Light”) as Dr. Loretta Parsons; Adrian Rawlins (“Unforgotten”) as Douglas Gilmour; Jamie Maclachlan (“Slow Horses”) as George Evans; Connor Curren (“Dodger”) as Billy Thompson; Maxwell Whitelock (“Boat Story”) as Alfie Metcalf-Haynes; Eddie Elks (“The Day of the Jackal”) as David Haynes; and newcomer Lotte Lauren as Mathilde Evans.

Out in the field, Bea and Patience form a strong partnership, bonding over their shared fixation with leaving no mystery unsolved. However, as Patience’s new work forces her to confront her difficult past and share more about her childhood with Bea, the self-taught detective may find herself out too far in the deep end of York’s criminal underworld.

Neurodivergent herself, Purvis spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about her character in January when the series first aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. Speaking about Patience representing a more realistic characterization of autism on screen, Purvis said, “I think there are a lot of misconceptions that autistic people are apathetic, whereas we see in the show that Patience cares so deeply about things.”

Expanding on both the diversity and universality of Patience’s traits, Purvis added, “I think I’m more obsessive than determined.

celebrity q&a

But I certainly share that [passion]. Patience is so internal and very calculated, while I often don’t know what I’m going to say next.”

Q: I thought there was a lot of support for Melissa Rauch in reviving “Night Court.” Why was it canceled?

A: After helping to develop the update, the alum of “The Big Bang Theory” couldn’t have made NBC happier in 2023 with the big ratings returns for the first season of her version of the courtroom comedy, on which she also was an executive producer. In fact, it took only a couple of weeks for the show to get a second-season order — and that prompted Catchy Comedy to add the original 1984-92 sitcom to its weeknight schedule. (Those repeats still can be seen there.)

However, the ratings for the revival generally trended downward from the start of the second season forward ... and by the time NBC decided to hand out the pink slip just after the show ended its third round, it was getting about one-fourth of the viewership that it had premiered to. At least Rauch got to close out the program with a reunion, since fellow “Big Bang Theory” veteran Simon Helberg was a guest star in what turned out to be the series finale.

“Night Court” had a huge champion in Rauch, who remembered watching the original show on a small TV in her bedroom. Originally, she was going to stay behind the scenes on the revival until others convinced her to act in it, thus, she became Judge Abby Stone, the daughter of Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson’s character from the original version). She appealed to John Larroquette to come aboard by reprising the role of attorney Dan Fielding, which had earned him four consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards in the 1980s, though Fielding made a transition from prosecutor to public defender.

Reportedly, there had been talk of NBC possibly picking up a shorter fourth and final season of the new “Night Court,” but that ultimately didn’t come to fruition.

Thunderstruck: ‘America’s Sweethearts’ Season 2 brings more

high-kicks and cowboy boots

After a stellar first season — reaching the Top 10 TV list in 27 countries around the globe, lasting four weeks on Netflix’s weekly global Top 10 English TV List and causing AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” to go TikTok-viral — “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” returns for a second season, premiering Wednesday, June 18, on Netflix.

Directed by Emmy winner Greg Whiteley (“Cheer”), “America’s Sweethearts” follows aspiring rookies and squad veterans as they audition to be one of 36 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, one of the most recognizable and beloved squads in the NFL. Across seven episodes, the series’ first season followed dancers from tryouts to the end of the 2023-24 season, showcasing what life was like for the team members both in and out of uniform. The series offered an unfiltered look at the hard work and dedication put into being a Cowboys cheerleader, touching on “narratives of grief, mental health, self-esteem, faith and longevity of passion” (as described by People Magazine).

Since the end of Season 1, Whiteley has been vocal about his interest in returning for a second season. In June 2024, Whiteley spoke with Variety, sharing that the show hit its end right as the cast and crew were starting to pick up speed. “I felt like we were just starting to get there as we were wrapping up, and I’d love to have more time to see if we can get deeper and deeper with more and more of the team,” he said, leaving fans hopeful.

Luckily, Whiteley and the DCC dancers got their wish.

Reece Weaver features in “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders”

This second season follows much the same format, picking up with the cheerleaders from the moment auditions begin, then following them through training camp all the way through the 2024-25 NFL season. While many familiar faces are set to return — including “DCC” mainstays such as coach Kelli Finglass, head choreographer Judy Trammell and squad members Reece Weaver, Jada McLean and Caroline Sundvold, all seen in a teaser for Season 2 — some new dancers are also set to appear and shake things up for the team, challenging the status quo.

Executive produced by Whiteley and Adam Leibowitz (“Last Chance U”) of One Potato Productions; Andrew Fried (“Paul American”) and Dane Lillegard (“Welcome to Wrexham”) of Boardwalk Pictures; and Ross M. Dinerstein (“The Money Game”) and Rebecca Evans (“Choir”) of Campfire Studios, Season 2 of “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” premieres on Netflix Wednesday, June 18.

Did you know that your hearing health has a direct effect on your overall health and well-being?

Diabetes

Hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes as their peers without.

Safety/Balance

People with mild hearing loss are 3x more likely to have a history of falling than people with normal hearing.

Tinnitus

Up to 90% of people with tinnitus have some level of noise-induced hearing loss.

Cognitive Decline

Adults* with hearing loss experience a 30-40% faster decline in cognitive abilities than their peers with normal hearing.

*75 years and older

Isolation

Untreated hearing loss can contribute to social isolation, anxiety, depression and cognitive decline.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis can adversely affect the three tiny bones in the middle ear, which can lead to hearing loss.

Hypertension

Depression

In a recent survey, adults* with untreated hearing loss were more likely to report depression, anxiety and paranoia than peers who wore hearing aids. *50 years and older

High blood pressure can be an accelerating factor of hearing loss in adults.
