With the economy booming and the current crop of celebrities producing plenty of babies along with their CDs and movies, top fashion designers and other luxury merchants are targeting the moms and dads who have it all–and want to share it with the kids. Besides Gucci and Kate Spade, Versace, Burberry and Ralph Lauren have all introduced designer lines for little ones in the last two years. And parents are plunking down big bucks for everything from custom art works to cars, diamonds and even furs for their little mini-mes....

Mina made the switch to La Liga in January after developing into one of the most highly-rated centre-backs in South American football. Barca paid Brazilian club Palmeiras a reported €12 million (£11m/$14m), but Mina only featured in five league games before the end of the season as he failed to dislodge Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti. Speculation is mounting he might be allowed to leave in the close-season, but the World Cup offers Mina the opportunity to star on the big stage....

Clearly, the Left 4 Dead inspired shooter is one of the year’s most anticipated titles as the concurrent player count on Steam this past weekend during the beta session hit some impressive numbers. According to the SteamDB charts, Back 4 Blood hit 98,024 players on Saturday, an impressive first showing. While the beta was only a taste of the full version, Turtle Rock Studios has plenty of work ahead as it responds to some of the biggest community concerns....

Turtle Rock Studios’ latest co-op survival game finds itself in an interesting place: a dedicated and largely traditional Left 4 Dead-esque gameplay experience, built with modern features in mind to better accommodate replayability and quality of life. Back 4 Blood is being designed with both old Left 4 Dead veterans, as well as new players unfamiliar with Left 4 Dead, in mind. As executive producer Lianne Papp puts it, she hopes that for any cautiously optimistic Left 4 Dead fans that Back 4 Blood “fits, and it works, and it feels good....

Probably the tackiest subgenre of showbiz is the impersonation of dead celebrities. And Oliver Stone’s new movie, “The Doors,” has its share of creepy look-alikes in scenes featuring Ed Sullivan and Andy Warhol. But the film’s lead performance is a rare instance of an actor rising above the pointlessness of mimicry. Val Kilmer’s portrayal of the beautiful, pretentious and self-destructive Jim Morrison is more incarnation than imitation, in a league with the star turns of Gary Busey as Buddy Holly or Kurt Russell as Elvis....

Most aches are caused by strains (injured muscles or tendons) or sprains (damage to the tough fibrous tissue, or ligaments, located where your vertebrae connect to joints). These injuries are typically brought on by over­use, a new activity, excessive lifting, or an accident. Other times, a compressed (aka pinched) nerve, such as in a herniated disk is to blame for the ache. Symptoms: Severe or aching pain in the lower back that starts after activity, sudden movement, or lifting a heavy object....

Richard O’Brien’s twisted send-up of cheesy sci-fi flicks hit was born on the London stage and reached Broadway once before, in the early ’70s, where it quickly closed-one critic dubbed it “the fiasco at the Belasco.” This time, it’s likely to be a runaway hit. You remember the story: wholesome teens Brad and Janet are stranded on a dark and stormy night and seek shelter at the scary castle of Frank ‘N’ Furter, a high-stepping transsexual from Transylvania....

But, at least for the time being, the very contours of normalcy had been transformed. In the first week after September 11, there was much talk of a country changed forever. Out were the giddy worship of celebrity, a culture etched in the acid of irony, the consumerist lust for the perfect pair of shoes. In were tears, flags, firemen and “God Bless America.” A nation that had looked mostly inward since the end of the cold war began poring over maps of Afghanistan....

Over 45 tug boats hauling the barges were stopped for three days along the river south and north of the bridge, after a “significant fracture” was found in one of the structure’s two 900-foot horizontal steel beams, the Associated Press reported. Officials said the fracture compromised the structural integrity of the bridge, and had to analyze whether or not it would be safe for river traffic to continue. “Based on information provided to us by the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the Coast Guard has determined that transit under the I-40 bridge is safe for maritime traffic,” said Coast Guard Capt....

There had been talks about Roman Reigns having a stable of his own on SmackDown, and it seems like WWE is heading towards that direction. As per a report by Paul Davis, The Usos will listen to Roman Reigns and follow his orders as he is the head of the family. Sources told WrestlingNewsCo that the storyline would see The Usos being reluctant to join Reigns at first but then get on board with it as time passes....

Surprisingly, One Piece’s author, Eiichiro Oda put out a massive announcement yesterday that gave the fans an idea of where the story is headed and what to expect next. The biggest takeaway from the announcement was that the story would soon be taking a 1-month break due to a number of things that Oda has to deal with.

Details about the new One Piece RPG continue to pour out as development gets closer to going gold, with multiple screenshots from Odyssey shared to the game’s Japanese website giving small hints at what fans of the anime can expect. Although some screenshots are close-ups of prominent One Piece characters, the battle screenshots have garnered the attention of many fans, including Persona 5 players that have noted parallels between the battle UI in Odyssey and the latest Persona title....

RELATED: Strongest Abilities In Anime Like the monsters, heroes have a hierarchy as well. The lowest class C-rank heroes are sent to deal with the lower threat levels, while the S-rank heroes fight against monsters that can destroy multiple cities. The S-rank heroes are undoubtedly very strong, but some One Punch Man characters transcend this classification altogether. 7 Saitama After his heroics in the Monster Association arc, Saitama was promoted to A-rank....

Sony Pictures’ upcoming live-action One Punch Man movie has just landed its director, and it managed to attract some serious talent. Justin Lin, known for directing a substantial number of Fast & Furious movies as well as others like Star Trek Beyond, has taken the lead on the adaptation, likely giving many uncertain fans a reason to start hoping. If nothing else, the movie now has more potential for some truly epic action scenes....

It turns out there are many ways to level up in Ooblets, they just don’t pop up on the screen as it works with other RPGs. Once understood, it isn’t so bad.

And Kohli did go to his main man and bowled him from one end for majority of the day. He was getting some turn and beat the bat occasionally, but the Australian batsmen were largely untroubled. The Indian pacers, especially Bumrah and Shami looked much more threatening and seemed more likely to take wickets, which they did. The Australians kept fighting and seemed to have a lot of self-belief. There were no two wickets that went quickly in succession, and every batsman who came to the crease supported the batsman out there before him....

It was no surprise, then, to see follow-up Batman: Arkham City reach even greater heights. The sequel improved upon the original in every way, becoming one of the best games to see release in 2011. Although the third part of the series, the non-Rocksteady developed Batman: Arkham Origins, failed to impress gamers, those two original entries were perhaps some of the greatest gaming experiences of the previous console generation....

Australia has regained some long lost form, finding their way to an eight-game winning streak. Thus, the question arises – if it ain’t broken why would you want to fix it? Well, Warner would walk into the side given his white-ball form. and the fact that he is perhaps seeing the cricket ball like a football at the moment. You can’t exactly say the same for Smith. Warner and Aaron Finch occupy the opening slots....

The game’s hardcore audience is definitely getting frustrated with server issues and the terrible ‘Nearby Pokemon Bug’ (though there is a workaround for that one), but as long as the game stabilizes soon, that demographic isn’t going to bail any time soon. The grind to higher levels and the constant battle over gyms is plenty of motivation to keep the dedicated fans around. That might not be the case for the Candy Crush demographic, though…...
