Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:53:45 GMT

By Alli Rosenbloom | CNNSelena Gomez is a modern-day triple threat: she’s an international popstar, an Emmy-nominated actor and a beauty mogul. But she may soon be closing the door on her career as a singer.“I do feel like I have one more album in me,” Gomez said on Monday’s episode of the “Smartless” podcast.“The older I get the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on,” she continued, adding that her career as an actor is what she’d ideally like to focus on.From an early age, Gomez said she had her sights set on being “a serious actress.” Her music career began only because Disney approached her to create an album while she was starring on the Disney Channel sitcom “Wizards of Waverly Place” in the late 2000s.“I thought it would be fun and I thought more than anything it would be a hobby that I really enjoyed,” she said. “I wanted to be an actress. I never really intended on being a singer full time but apparently that hobby turned into something els...

Study shows CA farmworkers earned less after overtime wage bill passed

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:53:45 GMT

(KRON) -- A new study from the University of California, Berkeley, showed that California farmworkers made less money since a bill meant to increase wages for overtime work passed in 2016.The bill, AB 1066, removed overtime exemptions and introduced new standards phasing in lower overtime standards until normal work week hours (eight hours per day, 40 hours per week) were reached starting in 2019."At one extreme, if individual worker hours and wages remain unchanged after the laws are implemented, workers would benefit from higher incomes for the same time at work," Alexandra E. Hill, the researcher and an assistant professor at UC Berkeley's Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, said in the study. "At another extreme, if employers reduce hours to remain below the new thresholds, worker incomes could fall, making workers who value the extra income more than additional leisure time worse off."The latter is happening in California, according to the study.Data shows that o...

Yamamoto’s contract with Dodgers includes 2 opt outs, but timing depends on elbow health

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:53:45 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Yoshinobu Yamamoto will have two opportunities to opt out of his record $325 million, 12-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, although the timing is tied to his pitching elbow’s health.If Yamamoto has Tommy John surgery or is on the injured list for a right elbow injury for 134 consecutive service days from 2024-29, he would have the right to opt out after the 2031 and 2033 World Series, according to terms of the deal obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday. If he avoids Tommy John surgery and doesn’t miss that much time with an elbow issue during that window, he can instead opt out after the 2029 and 2031 World Series.In the first scenario, the Dodgers also would gain a $10 million conditional option for 2036 with no buyout.Yamamoto does not have the right to block trades but could opt out of the contract after the end of any season in which he is traded. Los Angeles announced the agreement two weeks after signing two-way star Shohei Ohtani to...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:53:45 GMT

The New York Jets are waiving running back Dalvin Cook before the final game of the season, according to Cook’s agents LAA Sports & Entertainment.The 28-year-old Cook had a disappointing tenure with the Jets, who signed the four-time Pro Bowl selection to a one-year deal worth $7 million — including $5.8 million guaranteed — during the summer.NFL Network first reported Tuesday that the sides mutually agreed to part ways, citing Cook’s agents, who confirmed the move to The Associated Press. Cook will go through waivers and would become a free agent if he goes unclaimed.After Aaron Rodgers was lost for the season with a torn left Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut with the Jets, Cook’s role in New York’s offense never materialized. He has a career-low 214 yards rushing on 67 carries and no touchdowns, and was recently surpassed by rookie Israel Abanikanda as the backup to Breece Hall in the Jets’ backfield. Cook also has just 15 catches for 78 yards ...

The Saints realized their potential in Week 17, but was it too late?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:53:45 GMT

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Now that the New Orleans Saints have avoided the dreaded fate of playing meaningless late-season football, all they can do is try to replicate their most recent performance — easily among their best during an up-and-down 2023 campaign — and hope that fortune favors them.The Saints demonstrated during their 23-13 victory at Tampa Bay on Sunday that they’re capable of seizing control of a game against a playoff-contending rival, overcoming injuries and winning convincingly with their season on the line.“Everything was clicking; everything worked out,” tight end Juwan Johnson said. “The defense was playing lights out and the offense was playing really well. Just from the first drive, we were hitting on all cylinders.” New Orleans found the end zone on its opening drive and remained in front, building a 20-point third-quarter lead that proved too much for the NFC South-leading Buccaneers to overcome.The Saints’ defense produced four Tampa Bay turnove...
